Course transfer

The university has formal policies and procedures to ensure a consistent approach to the selection of course transfer applicants across the ten faculties and between course transfer applicants and applicants entering courses via other pathways. This process is managed within the framework of the University internal transfer policy and the procedures made pursuant to that policy.

Eligibility for course transfer

To be eligible for a course transfer, you must:

• be a current student who will be continuing their program of study. For example, you cannot apply for a course transfer if you expecting to complete your current program of study in the current semester AND

• you must have completed a minimum of 12 points of study at Monash AND

• you must have met the VCE, IB or equivalent prerequisites for the course you wish to transfer to. Prerequisites for engineering programs are listed on Course Finder.

Double degrees with partner faculties

Applications for course transfer into engineering double degree programs offered with the faculties of Business and Economics; Law; and Medicine, Nursing and Health Sciences should be submitted to the managing (non-engineering) faculty. As engineering does not select for these programs, the partner faculty's selection criteria and application processes apply (see below for course transfer links).

Criteria for course transfer into engineering managed programs

Selection is part of a competitive process that takes into consideration several factors including the number of places available and the strength of the applicant pool. As these factors may vary from year to year and the level of performance required to be offered a course transfer into an engineering program may also vary. Detailed below is a table of the minimum weighted averages required to be considered for an offer into the relevant program. These averages should be used as a guide only as a higher standard may be required in any year. Students who do not meet the minimum averages will not be considered for admission.

Additional criteria for transfers into the double degree with Art and Design

Transfer into the Bachelor of Engineering and Bachelor of Design (Industrial Design) also requires students to meet a minimum portfolio requirement and attend an interview. For further information contact the Faculty of Art and Design.

How to apply for programs managed by engineering

1. Download and complete an Application for course transfer from the Student Services forms website. Complete a separate application for each course you are applying for. You do not need to include your Monash transcript as faculty staff have access to this information.

2. Application for credit transfer if you wish to apply for credit for the units you have already completed at Monash. If you are seeking credit for units you have completed at another institution then you must include a certified copy of the academic results from that institution and a comprehensive syllabus for each of the units.

3. Submit the application(s) to engineering before the deadline.
   

Deadlines for submission of applications

Please refer to the closing dates table for submission deadlines. The Faculty of Engineering will not accept late applications.

Mid year applications

Due to course structure requirements, the faculty does not accept mid year course transfers into the mechatronics single and double degrees and the double degrees with art and design, pharmacy and science.

Current scholarship recipients

Students on a scholarship should check with the body administering the scholarship to determine whether the scholarship is transferable if they are offered a place in another program.

Notification of the outcome of your application

Students will be notified of the outcome of their application via email sent to their Monash email account. Applicants applying for semester one transfers will be advised in late December, before the University closes for the year. Mid year applicants will be advised following the release of semester one results in mid July.

Fees

Students accepting the offer of a full-fee course transfer will be fee assessed at the commencing rate for the year the student commences the new course. For future years of the course, Monash University reserves the right to adjust annual tuition fees.
