If you're about to start a new course at Monash, you must enrol in person. Enrolment and orientation are compulsory for both new students and continuing students commencing a new course.

Before enrolment day

Authority to enrol

Once you have accepted and paid for your offer, International Recruitment Services (IRS) will email you an official Authority to Enrol. You will receive this email about 2 - 3 weeks prior to your enrolment day on campus.

Enrolment tasks online

The Authority to Enrol lists enrolment tasks that you need to complete before attending enrolment day.

For more detail, see how to enrol – international students in Australia (Steps 1-3)

On your enrolment day

On enrolment day, go to your faculty on the date, time and location of your scheduled enrolment.

Faculty course advisers will assist you to select the units you will study.

Monash University does not accept early or online enrolments for international students. You must attend in person and cannot send someone else to enrol on your behalf.

Enrolment dates

Each course has its own enrolment date, time and location. You must refer to the 'enrolment flyer' for the date specific to your course.

Students who are progressing from Monash College to Monash University will have a different enrolment date. You must refer to the following enrolment flyer for the date specific to your course.

If you cannot enrol on the date the University has scheduled, you must apply for permission to enrol late. Without written permission, you cannot start your course.

We are unable to process requests for late enrolment if an exact date of arrival is not provided. If you are unsure of the exact date, an estimated date of arrival needs to be provided.

Faculty of Business and Economics students

The Faculty of Business and Economics do not allow students to enrol late into any of their courses. Students are required to attend enrolment on the scheduled date and time that is relevant to their course.

Orientation Week

Orientation (O Week) is a compulsory program of information sessions, tours and events designed to help you get to know Monash University and your campus. 

Many units run introductory lectures to provide an overview of the study topics, attendance requirements and assessments.

There are also many social events to help you make new friends.

Use the Orientation ePlanner to see what activities are on and to create your own personal schedule.
