i was just wondering: does one have to select units and all that before the information session, or would it be alright to wait until then, in order to do it with a uni representative?There are two sessions from memory:
also, it probably differs each year, but around what time do you think would those sessions be - january? or later in feb?For my Round 1 offer, they were towards the end of Jan, while for my Round 2, they were at the beginning of Feb :)
Hey, how do I know which units to sign up for? Like when I search my course a lot of units come up, do I just tick them and enroll in them all?Hey! Where are you searching for your units? If it's on WES, then you only need to enrol in 24 points of units per semester. I've also talked about unit selection under the 'Enrolling' tab in the main post, but if you're still stuck, let us know! If you also wouldn't mind telling us which course you're enrolling in, then someone might be able to help you out with your specific units :)
So I'm currently on the enrolment page and I was doing the HECs stuff. On the side of the HECS table, it writes 'Defer all or partial payment'. Does that I mean I did it correctly- being I would like to apply for a HECS loan? Also, for the SSAF, is it best to just pay upfront? Also, If I got a CSP position, do I have to do anything to accept?
Thank you guys so much. I'm so overwhelmed lol.
I’m having trouble verifying my account, I think? I’ve gone through some of the steps to creating my Monash account, but it says they should send an email within 24 hours and they haven’t yet. It hasn’t been 24 hours yet but i’m just anxious and looking for reassurance of anyone else with the same problem or if there’s anything else I can do in the meantime?Yeah it took mine about 3 hours, although that was probably during one of the more busy times of the day so yours might arrive within the hour if you did it just now.
Why do some options have no location and why do they also have the information about learning capture and live-streaming? Does it mean that if you choose one of these then you will be opted-in to learning capture etc.? Also what does learning capture mean? Are they just uploaded lectures?learning capture/live-stream won't have a location because you just use your own computer to watch them - this could be some place in uni/home etc If you choose this option "officially" you aren't meant to go to lecture but you can go if you want to - just take note of the location.
Also is it ok to have one class ending and another beginning at the same time if they're not too far from each other?

If so, then have a look at getting a TFN if you haven't already; you'll need this to accept a CSP anyway. More details here. :)

I’m enrolling into the physiotherapy course. It says physio 1 and 2 which are already there and each one is worth 24 points for a total of 48. Is that all I need to tick? Are the rest for later years?

For future reference, here is a course map which summarises which units you'll need to enrol in each semester/year. Since you're completing a specialised course, it looks like your unit structure is already set out for you (which means you don't need to worry too much about picking electives and the like).

Also K888, is physio really demanding first year? I really don’t know what to expect
Thanks so much guys. Also K888, is physio really demanding first year? I really don’t know what to expectHmm, hard question to answer. It's more demanding in terms of amount of content and contact hours than a course like Arts would be, but it's not as full on as Med from what I understand. I want to stress that it's very doable, sometimes you'll be stressed and sometimes you won't be, but if it's of any help I don't think anyone from my cohort failed first year (or if they did, they only failed in 2nd semester). Plus, the teaching staff are super helpful.
Anyone having an issue with the 'Respect at Monash' module thing? Can't seem to find it in Moodle (I think that's what it's called lol)When I was in first year I think I had to search for it and "enrol" in it. It might not be up yet - things don't happen super quick at uni. Particularly as Moodle was recently updated lol

I only signed up for my tax file number today. Is there a way to get through the enrolment without it?Are you able to tick "defer payment" without providing your TFN? I could be wrong, but I believe you don't have to supply your TFN until payments are due (which is the census date for unit fees).

if there is a lecture twice in the same week for the same subject, do we have to attend both, or just the one? Are they both the same?both - if it is the same lecture repeated it will be given to you as options to choose from ( a single allocation)

My placement test says that I can forward the results of the placement test to ask.monash, but I can't find an email address for this..
Presumably from here, you can attach the email you get indicating your level to an ask.monash query so they can enrol you into a stream higher than beginner.
Thanks. I'm trying to get onto the Ask Monash site, but it keeps telling me that I don't have permission to access the page (-____-) Not sure if anyone else is having this issue.
I can access it. It may be because you're a new student? Are you accessing it from the my.monash page?
I'd say you're right. I tried both through the my.monash page and through google, but still got the same message. Looks like I'm heading to Monash today haha
Hi everyone,Allocate isn't loading for me either using that link try this one instead- it works for me https://www.monash.edu/timetables/allocate/login#tabs__1583708 ^-^
This website for allocate timetable : https://allocate.timetable.monash.edu/ isn't working for me.
It says it can't be reached, it took too long to respond, etc.
What should I do? I waited all yesterday and until this time today, should I contact Monash?
I really want to start exploring my timetable and this is worrying me! :(
Thank you very much!

Hey guys, just a question about units. I'm trying to enrol in units for my Comm/Law degree, and my law units are straightforward. However, for comm, on the course progression map it lists MGC1010 (Intro to management) in the second year, but on WES it is automatically there for me. So, the units I have now are MGC1010, ECC1000, ETC1000 and MKC1200. I don't have either ACC1100 or 1200, so is that fine? Or is doing ACC compulsory for first year. (Sorry if this doesn't make sense at all).You can do the first year core commerce units in any order you like :) In fact, some students like to save first year units until the end of their degree (to lighten their workload). However, you do need to be careful of prerequisites - for example, if you are thinking of doing second year accounting units (e.g. towards an accounting major) in semester 1, 2020, then you should do ACC1200 this year (as it is a prerequisite).

Hi guys,
I applied for monash medicine as my first preference with an atar of 98.9 and umat of 95th percentile. I also thought I did decently well in my interview however I did not get a first round offer and instead got my second pref which was law/sci at monash. I am just wondering if I have a chance of getting a second round offer or if I should just accept my second pref. I am really torn right now because I really do want to do medicine. (would be great if I could hear other people's experience who were in the same situation as I really need the reassurance :( )
Thanks in advance :)
For anyone that's enrolled in LOTE units (above beginner), did you physically have to go to Monash to get that sorted, or is there a way for this request to be handled via an email? My placement test says that I can forward the results of the placement test to ask.monash, but I can't find an email address for this..
I'm in exactly the same situation with French. I phoned Monash connect and they gave me their email address to send my test score to since I can't access ask.monash at the moment. They said they would sort it out for me but I'm a bit worried because it has to be forwarded to the faculty of arts by Monash connect and then sorted out by arts so it might take forever?
I really want to start making my timetable and I'm concerned that spots in my units will somehow run out. I live at least 2.5 hours away from Monash but is it worth making the trip up there on Monday so I can get arts student services to manually enrol me while I'm there? I would go tomorrow but I'm working :(
Back again with another question ahah. I'm trying to make my timetable in Allocate+ and I'm wondering what a workshop is? Is this different to a lecture?
Does it matter what order I put tutorials, lectures and workshops for a particular unit? Is one meant to be before the other?
Back again with another question ahah. I'm trying to make my timetable in Allocate+ and I'm wondering what a workshop is? Is this different to a lecture?basically a tutorial - similar to a high school classroom setting with 20-25 students with 1 tutor. Usually it is either an extension from the lecture content which can also be assessed but sometimes is just separate assessments.
Does it matter what order I put tutorials, lectures and workshops for a particular unit? Is one meant to be before the other?if they haven't suggested an order I would think it doesn't matter. workshops/tutes will usually go over content from the previous week so in the end it doesn't make a difference
Also sorry quick question, what do the percentages mean on Allocate plus next to all the preferences?
Also sorry quick question, what do the percentages mean on Allocate plus next to all the preferences?
Also sorry quick question, what do the percentages mean on Allocate plus next to all the preferences?adding onto the above, if you want that slot but it is over 100% still put it has your number 1 preference as you will still have a chance of getting it - if you are unlucky and don't get it you will probably get pref 2 etc. If you put something with a low percentage down you are basically guaranteed in getting that so won't be considered for the lower prefernce.
UPDATE: so i called lol, but i'll answer my own question if, by some chance, someone out there might be wondering as well about the same thing.This is quite common. Mainly, you'd really only need to worry about this for tutorials (or any other class which is relatively small, and which you have the same tutor for each week).
so essentially they only go by official given names, and on official documents and stuff the first name is what's used. however, you can change it on class rolls and stuff, but you'd have to personally go up to the lecturer/tutorial/whatever (pardon my ignorance of uni terms) and ask them to modify it. :)
Hey I'm a bit confused.. would anyone be able to give me a list of the accounts/passwords/ID's we should have for both course enrolment and residential (if possible?)I'm not too sure about what you need on the MRS side of things, but in terms of the other things, I think you've got it covered :)
So far I've got things like WES transaction number, MRS portal, transaction number, MyMonash, Monash Student ID, Applicant ID, MRS Reference number, MRS CCD eLearning, a Monash email adress like [email protected], and also a Monash username.. but I've forgotten if some of them are the same and I wonder if I'm missing any?
Hey guys I'm kinda panicking and hope I didn't screw anything up... basically I called monash yesterday after receiving an offer and am waiting for a second round offer. The lady I called told me to enroll normally and accept my current offer. I did everything including putting my TFN in as well as enrolling in the required units. Today I got an email, saying that FEE-Help just paid for my units. How am I supposed to unenroll and later on accept a potential second round offer when the units for my current offer have already been paid? Should I have not done that? Or is that normal!?It's all good, as long as you unenrol from units that you don't intend to complete (whether that be units you wish to drop in your course or even changing courses) by the census date (which I think is the end of March) you won't be charged/have to pay it back on HECS.

But I just wanna ask, if I don’t have to pay any HECS yet then what is the FEE-help thing they just paid? Like I got an invoice that says my units are paid and everything. Does that mean they paid for my units and is it refundable by the census date or something? Once again thanks!
should we already be ordering student ID cards or can this wait? i'm waiting on second round offer so might not be going to monash

Hey just wanted to know whether people would recommend doing back-to-back units, for example an arts lecture from 1-2, and then another arts lecture or a tutorial from 2-3. Do lectures or tutorials tend to go overtime? Should I put an hour gap between each unit on the same day?Obviously I don't do arts, however a lot of my classes occur back-to-back. I find that lectures and tutorials don't usually run overtime. This is my experience, so take that with a grain of salt because it may be different with arts units ^-^

Do lectures or tutorials tend to go overtime? Should I put an hour gap between each unit on the same day?All classes are scheduled to start on the hour (e.g. 10:00am) and finish 10 mins to the hour (e.g. 10:50am). The 10 minutes is a buffer for students to get to their next class, so yes, there is enough time for you to get between classes. :) You don't really need an hour gap - personally I find 1-hour breaks for private study are unproductive - by the time you've found a spot to sit and then open your laptop/books, you've only got 30-40 mins to pack up and head to your next class. However, I do find them useful for lunch, etc.
Hi, I just had a question about whether or not there were mentoring programs available (ie w a senior or an older student) for 1st year students at Monash?I know this exists at Parkville in a formal capacity, however I think the closest program formal program offered at Clayton is the Host Scheme (I'm not too sure about it but I've heard it mentioned- worth a look perhaps). Another similar thing to look into is non-residential colleges (available in Clayton, Caulfield and Peninsula; Parkville to come in 2020!), which function as a more social setting with older year-level leaders etc :)
Hi, I just had a question about whether or not there were mentoring programs available (ie w a senior or an older student) for 1st year students at Monash?To add on to what insanipi has said, most courses have course-specific mentor programs available (either organised by the faculty themselves, or the student society). You should be able to find out more about either via email or at your course orientation/intro day :)
guys this might be really dumb but i dont get the electives thing :(It doesnt matter how you construct your course you could do 1 chem and 1 astrophysics or two chem etc.
im doing biomed and i have one elective per sem right (and then 2 per sem in final year). So does that mean if i choose to do 2 minors for my electives i have to complete all 24 units each over this year or do i do one class per elective (therefore getting 12 elective points per year except 3rd year which is 24) and finish the two minors over the course of my degree? And if so, can i choose whichever classes to enrol in this year, or is there a set way to progress? Sorry i'm just super confused ahaha. Like for example, i was thinking to do chem and astrophysics as a minor. So do i do chem 1 and chem 2 this year, then do astronomy and foundation physics next year?
Thank you !!!
It doesnt matter how you construct your course you could do 1 chem and 1 astrophysics or two chem etc.
And yes you complete minors over a whole degree (not just 1 year) as usually you wont be able to do all the units from one minor at the same time due to prereqs
Just a few things to be mindful of
-prerequisites (which units do you need completed to progress in that minor)
-are the units run on first semester or second (or both)
-maximum 10 first year units in your course (6 of these are taken up by core units)
Hi again, I just had a quick question:That's also my interpretation of it! If it lets you enrol on WES, you should be fine :)
If a unit which I’m planning on taking in semester 2 says that a prerequisite of it is ‘Twelve credit points of first-year Arts units’ does that mean that I can take it in semester 2 as long as I pass 2 arts units (6 points each) in semester 1?
Thanks!
hi, i'm on the allocate+ website and could someone clarify what the things under the 'activities' tab like this mean: 01-P1 / 01-P2 and 02-P1 / 02-P2? are 01 and 02 the same class?The first number (01 or 02) represents the activity number, which are repeats of the same class each week. You only need to select and attend on of these. The number with a P (P1 and P2) are different parts (i.e. Part 1 and Part 2) to the same activity - you must attend both of these during the week. Click here for more info :)
also, why is it that some activities have much higher preferences than others despite being on at the same day and time, with the only difference being a slight change in location?
ahhh i see !!! so does that mean there is a limit to the number of units i can take? like can i do chem 1, chem 2 and physics? or is it just 2 per year (one for sem 1 and one for sem 2?)You can only do 1 elective per semester (except for 3rd year, as you mentioned). What Sine meant by "first year units" is level 1 units (any unit starting with a 1) - these can be done in any year (i.e. at any time), but you can only do a maximum of 10 of them throughout your degree. Since you already have 6 level 1 units as part of your biomed core units, this means you can only take up to 4x level 1 electives. You can still do chem 1, 2 and physics, but you'd only be able to do 2 in first year.
will i be at a significant disadvantage if i enrol in units later rather than sooner? i'm thinking of going in to see the science service desk but that can only happen monday at the earliest. it seems like lots of people have already enrolled and have made timetables, so i'm kind of worrying everything will fill up by the time i get there next week lmaoSince at Monash we use a preference system for allocating classes, you shouldn't be at any disadvantage as long as you enter your preferences before the closing date (29/1). However, there are a small minority of classes which are first in best dressed, but these are only usually restricted to lecture times. Also, since most first year units have so many students doing them, they usually account for that, and so you shouldn't miss out on a spot (in fact, some might even organise extra classes if enrolments get too big).

Also, since most first year units have so many students doing them, they usually account for that, and so you shouldn't miss out on a spot (in fact, some might even organise extra classes if enrolments get too big).
and Yes it's fine to have consecutive classes. This is because each lecture is meant to start on the hour and ends 10 minutes before than what it says on the timetable. E.g. A lecture would run from 1.00 to 1.50 leaving you 10 minutes to get to your 2.00.If it does run over time (not often), you can still leave while the lecturer's still talking. Just be quiet and leave silently - that's it. They generally don't judge unless you're the only person there. The same can be said if you're taking a bathroom break.
For anyone that's enrolled in LOTE units (above beginner), did you physically have to go to Monash to get that sorted, or is there a way for this request to be handled via an email? My placement test says that I can forward the results of the placement test to ask.monash, but I can't find an email address for this..Looks like you already got this sorted. I did Japanese as a minor btw, so PM me if you want to talk about my experiences.
also, why is it that some activities have much higher preferences than others despite being on at the same day and time, with the only difference being a slight change in location?Some people have figured that their mates are in the same class and will take it with them. Some people realise it's closer to their previous or next class, so they take it. Some people just take it because it's popular. Some people pick that one because it's first out of the options, so they pick it because they don't realise there's a difference at all between them and just take the first one because it's the first one on the list.
Hey everyone, I'm really confused as to how many units we need to take each semester/year. I'm doing a bachelor of psych and it splits the units into 4 parts (Part A, B, C, etc), In Part A there are quite a few units listed, does it matter if I just choose the units I want to do (If i meet the prereqs)? Or do I have to follow a certain timetable? Also would I have to evenly divide the units from each part?
Thanks so much, and sorry for all the questions I'm really confused!
Hey! Back again with the questions about language units. So I got arts to enrol me in the correct units and they're showing up on the web enrolment system but not on Allocate+? They only did this about an hour ago so is it possible that Allocate+ takes time to update? Or do I have to somehow get someone to change Allocate for me as well?Give it a few hours. It takes the system a little to kick in. Happened with my Japanese units from what I remember.
Hey guys,Depends on the assessment usually. If it's basically the only time you can do the assessment, it'll force a clash anyway. Just be careful that the lecture doesn't have any assessment in it either (e.g. clicker stuff, mid sem tests) when you get more information regarding units down the line. If not, you might get your second choice.
On the allocate+ site, i chose my preferred times for everything, then tried to use the planner function. when i did it said that one of my assessments couldn't be added because it clashes with one of the lectures for the same subject. The assessment is only for one day, will it be fixed for me when it goes through?
Hey guys,It might be best to request timetable help via this form. If the assessment only has one time, then when Allocate+ closes it should automatically clash with the lecture (meaning you'd have to skip the lecture. But, to be sure, I'd recommend filling out the help form :) (Everything should be fine though)

I have to ask one tiny thing about the form, do i say yes to requesting a clash?
When there is a prohibition for a subject, does this mean that it cannot be undertaken during the same semester, or in the same year?I may be wrong, but it means that if you are taking/have taken the prohibited unit, you cannot enrol in the unit. It doesn't matter if it is in the semester or year or another year :)
Thanks for your help VanillaRice and Angelwings! I have to ask one tiny thing about the form, do i say yes to requesting a clash?Yep - you'll need to clash the lecture and the assessment for that week.
It depends on what you want to do, but I would consider the travel time (and associated expenses), when you can fit in work and other commitments, and where you prefer to do your study - at uni or home.
do any students recommend having fuller days so i have free days in the middle of the week or just have classes spread evenly so i dont start early or go too late, but have uni most days of the week?by uni on most days are you counting lectures or just pracs/workshops?
ahhh, im doing biomed so i have a couple labs and workshops a week, and given that i live west side (it takes me around an hour and a half to get to Monash) do you think a spread day would be better? or should i spend less time wasting it on travel by just maximising what i do in a day. I am possibly going to work in the city (had my interview yesterday ahaha) so since that is halfway between uni and home i was thinking of just working after class? do you think that is a good idea or? And lastly, what are workshops? are they like tutes? and are they intense or like chill?Living on the west side I would assume you won't be going to lectures?
Hi, I was just wondering how allocate+ and just timetabling works if you are undertaking undergrad med at monash? When I log into allocate+, it says everything is 'off' so I'm not exactly sure what that means.As far as I'm aware, med has a rigid timetable that is made for you - you don't get any choice in when things are
Thank you!
Can someone please tell me whether two labs in one day is a good idea? This is on top of another workshop during the day. And is a 10-6 day draining or do people find it doable?I would probably advise against 2 labs + 1 workshop in a day but if that is what suits you it is possible to get through. I guess you just need some time to eat. Also, when you have a lot of assessments due close together this can be a hindrance.
my course requires a practical but the only class for it is full, and there are no other allocations available. what should I do now, will additional allocations open or should I contact them? Thanks in advance!Email the unit coordinator and they will let you know what you need to do.
What are the chances of a getting a Monash Business Scholarship when I entered a Commerce degree as a 2nd round offer? For context, my ATAR was 98.75.Are you referring to the Monash Business School Scholars Scholarship?
Are you referring to the Monash Business School Scholars Scholarship?Yes.
Yes.I guess you would have a chance but definitely not 100%. In the past I know the cut-offs for that scholarships has been around 99.2-99.3 ATARs.
I guess you would have a chance but definitely not 100%. In the past I know the cut-offs for that scholarships has been around 99.2-99.3 ATARs.I guess I was more concerned that Monash would "run out" of scholarships to give, and not be able to consider my ATAR because they used all 40. Do Monash release sources for what ATAR attains that scholarship or is this word of mouth?
Can someone please tell me whether two labs in one day is a good idea? This is on top of another workshop during the day. And is a 10-6 day draining or do people find it doable?Double labs: Would not recommend double labs, unless unavoidable, especially back-to-back ones. You have assessments in labs as well, so it won't be helpful. (This is coming from experience.)
I guess I was more concerned that Monash would "run out" of scholarships to give, and not be able to consider my ATAR because they used all 40. Do Monash release sources for what ATAR attains that scholarship or is this word of mouth?If you have experienced any type of financial disadvantage, you should be eligible for the Monash UniStart Support Scholarship, which is a default financial disadvantage scholarship for anyone not receiving a scholarship already (excluding a few). I don't know if that helps, but here's the link for it anyway. (ATAR not considered there.)

Re: 9/10am -5/6pm everyday was pretty standard for me in basically all 4 of my years (except in hectic assignment times), however, I made sure to keep lots of 2hr+ breaks in that for lunch and study. So, not really draining, as long as you build in solid breaks for yourself.

However, I should note I am basing this off numbers from the past few years so could have changed (higher/lower) this year.

Just wondering if anyone knows when timetables will be published? My timetable gets automatically allocated, and I have to schedule work around itTimetables usually come early February (a few weeks before uni starts), as stated here. Usually Med, Pharm and other similar specialist courses arrive around that time with a week or so leeway, having their own timetable dates, since they usually have rigid timetables.

I do physio and my timetable sometimes doesn't fully come out until about 2 weeks before uni starts :)

Hi everyone I'm really confused as to what the difference between the 3 lectures are, is it just that one has learning capture, one has live-streaming and the other doesn't have either? I was also wondering what the difference is between the labs as most seem to occur at the same time?Hey there,
Thank you so much
Hey there,
Regarding the lectures, I'll copy-paste part of my response from a different thread:
LC = lecture capture. If you select this activity, you will be able to clash this timeslot with another class (if you so wish). Any preferences for other classes which have the same time as this lecture will be considered (for a clash) by the system when setting up your timetable. This is a good option for students who plan on watching the lecture recording later, and want to attend a different class during this time. Warning: Some lectures have in-class quizzes, or you may have a mid-semester test during one of your lecture slots.
LSP = live stream Panopto(?). If you select this activity, you will not be able to clash this timeslot with another class. Any preferences for other classes which have the same time as this lecture will be ignored by the system when setting up your timetable.
You can also select attendance to the live lecture (Activity 01 in your case). Regardless of which option you select, you'll still get access to both live streams and lecture recordings. Additionally, most units don't monitor lecture attendance anyway, so it won't really matter which option you choose. After around week 2, live lecture attendance tends to drop anyway, so you can choose to attend the live lecture, livestream it online, or watch it later (recorded), depending on what you prefer! :)
Regarding the labs, you'll notice that all of the ones with the same time (e.g. Monday 14:00) have the same room number, except for the "Bay". Those are all the same lab, except each allocation is for a different bench/table number. Students usually choose specific bay numbers to get onto the same table as their friends.
Hope that helps!
Wow thanks so much, this definitely clears things up! So for the lectures, for the learning capture and live streaming one does this mean I don't attend a class and do it online?If you don't want to attend the lecture (which in first year I would recommend attending) then you can livestream it online, or watch the recording later :)
Still struggling to enrol, with no ability to complete 2FA. I have contacted the Service Desk multiple times, and I was rung on Friday, and told that there was a 24-hour exemption so that I could complete the rest of the enrolment, but it just came back to the same screen, shown below. Does anyone have any suggestions, besides emailing back (which I've already done)? Pls???

Pls???If you have access to a different phone, I would suggest calling Monash Connect, and they should be able to connect you to an IT support person to help you out on the spot. If you don't have phone access, I don't believe there's an easy way to bypass MFA without the exemption (it can be a pain), so unfortunately you'll probably have to wait for the email reply.

Hi, I'm currently in Grade 12 in Queensland and looking to study biomedical science at Monash Uni next year. I was wondering if people had any recommendations as to what hall I should stay in – I am looking at both the Residential Village and the Urban Community. Thanks!I lived on campus at Peninsula for 2 years but have friends who have lived at Clayton. Ultimately it comes down to what environment you prefer. Would you prefer to live a bit more by yourself and have a bit more privacy and that sort of thing? If so, urban community is probably where you'd go. If you'd prefer a bit more of a social atmosphere and a place where you really get used to living with other people and sharing kitchens, bathrooms, etc. then residential village is probably what you'd go for.

However if you want to live with other people but don't want too much of a party/social lifestyle, South East Flats is a good in between. It's less solitary than urban community but quieter than residential halls
