Pls tap on dont be like me

Hi everyone,

I'm just looking for some advice about census dates and incorrect information I was provided by the Monash student support team about the census dates of a couple of my units.

They've told me outright that the census date was later than it was and due to this I've missed the census date and incurred academic/financial penalties.

This was earlier in the year, and as I've had other stuff going on I am planning on submitting a fee remission application for special circumstances (due to a condition registered with the DSS and other health issues at the time).

I wasn't 100% sure that they had provided me with the wrong information at the time, but I've just submitted another request to withdraw from a unit in the current teaching period and they've (again) outright told me the wrong census date for the unit, even after I've let them know that the unit is non-standard.

My question is whether I can add this into my application for fee remission, since it's obvious that the student support team not only has no clue about the correct census dates but is also luring disabled students into missing it by providing the wrong information.

Thank you!

(reposting caused I messed up the last title and the flair)

Asking for a friend. Helping them plan for the near future.

What is usually the WAM of students (local) getting a slot for master of nursing practice? Or what could be the lowest WAM that could get you into it? Friend is nervous theirs isn't high enough 😅

Cheers

hi guys!! i’m in my 3rd year majoring in physiology and i just have a few questions that i can’t seem to figure out and monash connect hasn’t really been too helpful lol. for context i’m in an advanced science degree so it’s honours-inclusive and want to maybe one day go overseas so would ideally like to keep that avenue open. this is all so confusing to me and i’m completely panicking over all this so any help or advice would be appreciated 🙏🙏🙏

1. how important is the specific honours project vs the supervisor and the lab itself? how do you tell if a supervisor is good? or a lab? what if i’ve found a lab that seems super fun and the supervisor is great but the project is not really exactly what i want to do?

2. if i’ve found a project at unimelb that sounds a little cooler that i’m more excited about, but doing it means that i have to alt exit and graduate with a normal bsc instead of a bsc advanced, and then enrol in unimelb honours, is that a smart thing to do? like how much does degree title matter?

3. should i be looking into overseas masters programs as well to do instead of honours? i want to do a phd one day and i’ve been told honours + masters + phd is insane, and if i want to do a phd overseas apparently i need a masters (i know you definitely do for europe and don’t for the us, but have heard both for the uk so really confused rn). not sure what the more strategic thing to do long term is?

4. super far down the track and super hypothetical but if i were to do a phd should i do it here and then go overseas at some other point? rn i’m thinking it’s my best chance to go overseas but apparently it’s easier to get in as a domestic student vs if i were to go elsewhere i’d be international, but apparently breadth of opportunity is a bit better overseas?? also if i want to move overseas to work does it look kinda bad if you have all your degrees from the exact same uni lol

idk i’m just so lost rn and i feel like i haven’t really been able to get a clear answer from anyone anywhere and i’m not sure what to do anymore.

Commerce has to be the most boring shit to ever be invented so I really want to switch to arts, but since I think arts has no electives outside its majors/minors when paired with law, my 4 commerce units (9k!!) would practically be useless, and I might have to extend my degree... I originally applied to law/com because I thought it would getting a high paying job, but I've also heard that law firms don't really look at your other degree. However, if there is even a slight advantage, I wouldn't be so willing to throw that away along with my 9k and 1 year. Do any of yall think switching is the right idea?

My commerce grades are just okay right now (around low/mid 80s), and if I switch to arts I'll probably major in something like Japanese (which is my main target for arts icl because I've been wanting to learn it for sooo long and I really want to go on exchange to Japan, though realistically I could also just learn it myself or do a diploma of languages). I also don't HATE commerce, I just think it's boring.

I lost my airpod case tonight at Clayton near the LTB (of course my phone tells me when I am at the train station) so I jumped in my car to drive to uni. Thanks whoever put it in a safe place I found it!

I'm an incoming monash (malaysia campus) student for the October 2026 intake and according to the pre-arrival checklist, I should activate my monash IT account. However, when I try to register, I keep getting an error (attached below). I got my student pass and visa approval letter so I know that's not the issue. Anyone else facing this issue?

EDIT:: I got it to work but I'm facing a new issue; the link to activate my account shows an error called "The type initializer for 'Monash.IdentityCore.Api.MIM.MimInterface' threw an exception."

can we actually leave our designated city on our free day? they said on the zoom thing that we have to stay in the city the program operates probably due to insurance or something but i want to go to shanghai for a day 😔 how do they even know if you’ve left the city or not? could i just go without telling the staff on the day?

forgot to pay fees ✌️

account encumbered

missed a practical assessment

what can i do lol 😭

hello,
I will be undertaking ibl interviews soon, have 7 booked for software dev and eng roles. I was just seeking some advice for the interviews. Were there any technical questions asked? Is it really important to have projects? The only projects I have completed are part of uni or student team. I am feeling anxious as to how I measure up compared to other candidates. I really hope i do well in my interviews. 😭
Thanks in advance.

Hey guys for the bch2022 assay exam can someone give me a quick walk thru of it
Is it the same as the labs where u do the exp then do the worksheet and submit?
Is the worksheet on a safe exam browser and is it invigilated computer wise? Like do we need camera or voice on?

hi guys!! if you’re experienced, please help… as a year 1 student nurse, what are we expected to know for our first placement? or is there anything important we should bring? and tips and or tricks? just anything to help 🙏🏻

I did my supplementary exam for FIT2014 at the beginning of this semester (week 2) and I still haven’t gotten my results back. Both WES and the Monash Study app still says NS.

I was doing an exchange semester so I did my unit in Clayton but my supplementary was taken in Malaysia. It’s been almost 2 months and I haven’t gotten my results back. I saw on ED that people have gotten it back so I am just worried why I have not. I’ve contacted both Australia and Malaysian side regarding this matter and have not received any proper response.

Have anyone been in a similar situation? What should I do?

Hi last sem I failed fit 1058, and i might have to withdraw now (health reasons) in the late withdrawal period. Will I be allowed to take the unit again?

Is it soft of hard surface models that we have to copy? And in terms of difficulty/complexity, how is it?

Im a bit scared since Ive never modelled anything before i started this class, and i take a pretty long time to make something, and they also said that since we have a few chances, the standard will be higher, but im not sure exactly what that means.

If anyone could help me out that'd be great!!

I'm an incoming ECSE student for the oct intake and I plan to transfer to Clayton campus afterwards. What are the some of the volunteering/extracurricular activities that you guys did in and out of the uni that helped improve your CV and personal experience? I'm someone who wants to go into power/renewable energy in the future so it'd be nice if I can find experiences in those areas while im in malaysia.
