Study at another institution - complementary study

Complementary study allows you to study units at another institution and have them count toward your Monash award course.

To apply

1. Fill out a complementary study application (pdf 37kb)
2. Attach the unit syllabus from the host institution (see instructions on the form)
3. Submit the form to your managing faculty at Monash

Closing dates for applications

• 1 February - semester one
• 21 June - semester two

Enrol

When your application is approved by both institutions, follow the instructions on the form to enrol at the host institution.

Standard census dates apply to complementary study units. If you discontinue your complementary studies, you must do so at both Monash and the host institution to avoid fees and fail grades. Discontinue the Monash units using an Enrolment Amendment form (available from your faculty) as you can't use WES to discontinue complementary study units.

Unit results

To have your results credited to your Monash course, you need to:

• request an academic record of your results from the host institution
• give this to your managing faculty at Monash within six weeks of results release.

Your result will appear on your academic record (transcript) as either SFR (satisfied faculty requirements) or Fail. If you don't provide a record from the host institution you will have a Fail recorded against the units on your Monash academic record.

Fees and offers

You pay fees for the unit/s to the host institution, which can offer you either a full-fee or Commonwealth Supported Place (CSP). This does not depend on the type of place that you currently have at Monash.

Domestic full-fee at Monash

If offered CSP at the host institution: Complete a Request for Commonwealth Support and HECS-HELP form at the host institution.

If offered a domestic full-fee place at the host institution: Complete a Request for FEE-HELP Assistance at the host institution if you want FEE-HELP for the unit, even if you have completed the same form at Monash.

CSP students at Monash

If offered CSP at host institution: Complete a Request for Commonwealth Support and HECS-HELP form at the host institution even if you have completed the same form at Monash.

If offered a domestic full-fee place at the host institution: Consider whether you want to use FEE-HELP to help finance these studies.
