Applying online

To apply to study at Monash University, first read through the easy step-by-step guide, as this outlines how to use the applicant portal and provides links to the other important web-pages you will need to access in order to find out about:

  • the courses you are interested in studying
  • the specific entry requirements for each course
  • the documentation you will need to provide with your application
  • additional documentation required for international applicants.

When you have read through the step-by-step guide and have all your paperwork ready to be uploaded to the applicant portal, you can apply online.

Once you have applied online, you can track the progress of your application by logging back into the applicant portal.

Following the step-by-step guide

The step-by-step guide will provide you with simple instructions about the steps involved in applying via the Applicant Portal. The guide also includes sample pop up screens to assist you in understanding the process and steps involved in completing your online application.

Completing your application via the Applicant Portal

The applicant portal has 12 steps for non-VTAC domestic applicants (ie mid-year and post-graduate applicants) and 13 steps for international applicants. The additional step for international students includes the application fee page. International applicants will need their credit card details to proceed with this payment before they can lodge their application.

Please note that if you are an international student currently studying Year 12/VCE or the International Baccalaureate (in Australia) applying for semester 1 entry, you must apply through VTAC.

The applicant portal requires all applicants to step through all screens.

Where the information requested on a screen is not relevant for the applicant, select a “No Answer” response. You will then be able to proceed to the next screen.

The final step is to accept the terms and conditions. By selecting “Accept” the application will automatically be submitted for assessment.

Saving your information in the Applicant Portal

You can log out and log back in to the application portal to continue your application at any time. The application program automatically saves the information you provide and any documents you have uploaded after you complete each page. Any applications you have not submitted will remain saved in the applicant portal for up to 28 days. Once you open up an application you have already saved, the system requires you to step through each of the screens again and check the information provided is correct. Where you have already completed the information you select “Continue” to move to the next screen.

Internet connection trouble?

Online applications via the applicant portal are able to be processed more swiftly than applications received by mail or email. However, if you are experiencing internet connection problems when applying online, you can download an application form and mail or email this with the relevant documentation:

If you are an international applicant email or mail your complete application form with all documents and a cheque for A$100 (or credit card details) to International Recruitment Services.

If you are an international applicant, send your completed application form with all your documents and a cheque for AUD$100 (or credit card details) to the Office of Future Students via email Adm-documents@monash.edu or post to: 871 Dandenong Road, Caulfield East, Victoria. 3145. Australia.
