Student Resource Guide 2008

Introduction

Purpose of the Student Resource Guide

The Student Resource Guide contains relevant government, university and faculty policies, administrative resources, key university dates, information on university facilities and services, and contact details. The Student Resource Guide informs enrolled students on all campuses of their requirements, responsibilities and rights. It is a companion publication to the University Handbooks available at http://www.monash.edu.au/pubs/handbooks, and complements and expands on information in the Australian campuses' Student Diary which is distributed to students.

Information in the Student Resource Guide applies to all students unless indicated by use of a specific topic group or campus heading. These show when a topic or group of topics relates to particular students. In addition, some faculties may make an exception or addition to a topic; where this occurs it is indicated under the sub-heading 'Specific faculty rules/services' etc.
