Timetabling
Once you have completed your enrolment on WES (Web Enrolment System), you are required to:
Step 1: Plan your timetable
You are advised to plan your timetable checking all availabilities for your enrolled units and construct your optimum timetable using this information on Class Timetable.
Step 2: Set your order of unit's preferences
Whilst Allocate+ is in Preference Entry Mode, login to Allocate+ and using the timetable created during Step 1, set your preferences and submit it for the relevant activities (e.g. lecture, tutorial, labs etc) associated with your unit enrolment.
Step 3: Check your allocated timetable
Whilst Allocate+ is in Allocation Adjustment Mode, review your timetable sorted by the system.
Step 4: Change your allocated timetable
You may make changes to your allocations where possible to:
- optimise the timetable to suit your needs; or
- complete your timetable from available options.
NOTE: Allocate+ operates in 3 modes each of which has a different range of available dates.
You can look up your timetable and sign up for classes using Allocate+
Step 1: Go to the Allocate+ website
Note: If you are a new student and have just enrolled in your units, it may take up to 24 hours for your details to be transferred into Allocate+. For existing students, all changes made to your enrolled units will be immediately transferred into Allocate+.
Step 2: Click on 'Student'
Step 3: Enter your Monash IT Account username and password
Step 4: On the left hand side of the screen, there will be a list of all your enrolled units by activity group (i.e. lectures, tutorials, labs, computer labs etc) associated to each unit
- Click on each unit link to view all of the available time slots.
- Number all of the available slots in order of priority and preference per activity (1 is your most preferred slot, 2 is your second preferred slot, etc).
- You must nominate at least six (6) preferences if they are available.
- Click on 'Save'.
- Repeat the same steps for other activity group until you have nominated preferences for all enrolled units.
Step 5: After you have set all of your unit's preferences, click 'Log Out'
You can do the following:
- Change your preferences when Allocate+ is in Preference Entry mode; and
- Change your activities allocation when Allocate+ is in Allocation Adjustment Mode.
You cannot make changes to your tutorial/comp-lab/lab allocation once Allocate+ is in View Only Mode.
The three likely reasons are:
- you changed unit recently,
- your unit is being taught off campus or online,
- your school is not using Allocate+ for some, or all, of its timetabling.
As a new student, it may take up to 24 hours for your unit changes to come through from WES (Web Enrolment System) to Allocate+. Otherwise, check with your respective Course Management Office.
Some clashes can be resolved by changing your allocation in Allocate+ during the Allocation Adjustment Mode, i.e. selecting alternative tutorials or labs if alternative slot(s) is unavailable or full. You may also contact your Course Management office for immediate assistance.
Once Allocate+ re-opens in Allocation Adjustment Mode you will be able to check the availability of time slots for each activity group (i.e. lecture, tutorials, labs etc) of your enrolled units and manually allocate the most suitable time slot(s) that is still available.
For further information: How to use Allocate+
Yes, you are strongly advised to check Allocate+ after submitting your preferences for the following reasons:
- An activity is cancelled or modified by the school during Preference Entry Mode
- Activity availability may change during the preferences entry period (e.g. new tutorials may be added and previously advised tutorials may be cancelled).
- You will not be advised if any activities are cancelled or amended whilst Allocate+ is in Preference Entry mode.
- It is recommended that you check the Allocate+ system once a week until the Preference Entry period closes. Refer to Allocate+ important dates for details of dates. Should there be changes to activity availability it will be necessary for you to nominate a replacement preference.
- Edit your existing preferences

- Check your allocated timetable
- You will have to log in to check your allocations, during Allocation Adjustment Mode.
- Adjust your allocated timetable
- You can adjust your allocated timetable if other time slots are still available. For details, please refer to article Change Allocation in Allocate+.
- An activity is cancelled or modified by the school in Allocation Adjustment Mode
- Some activities may change whilst Allocate+ is in Allocation Adjustment mode. It is possible that activities to which you have been allocated could be cancelled, which will leave you without allocations for that unit.
- If an activity is cancelled or amended you will receive an automated email advising you to re-allocate in the system
During allocation adjustment mode, other students may make changes to their timetable. If you monitor Allocate+, you may be able to move to your preferred class if a place becomes available. Alternatively, you may use the Swap function in Allocate+ to move to the desired class.
We are constantly checking with Schools to adjust the size of the class. Let us know in case it is still full, and we will work with Schools to increase the size, if allowed.
You will need to log into Allocate+ and select preferences/allocations for any unit you have just added and re-adjust other preferences/allocations where necessary.
If you are a:
- new student who has not used WES before, any new unit enrolment in WES may take up to 24 hours to process.
- current student who has used WES in the past, any changes to your enrolment should be reflected in Allocate+ within the next 2 hours.
It is important to note that if you discontinued a unit, your allocations for that particular unit will be removed automatically from Allocate+.

- The My eQuals portal link starts with https://myequals.net.
- You're viewing your document in the latest version of Adobe Acrobat Reader (not in your browser).
- A blue ribbon appears above the document stating, Certified by Monash University... all signatures are valid.
- You're connected to the Internet.
- Your internet connection is fast enough to validate the signature.
The authenticity of digital documents can only be guaranteed when accessed through My eQuals and viewed through Adobe Acrobat Reader, with confirmation that the signatures are valid.
Printed documents
We can't verify a printed My eQuals document unless it's a certified copy issued by Monash University.
Yes, you can ask for a replacement testamur (degree certificate) if the original is:
- Lost.
- Damaged.
- Stolen.
- Incorrect due to a name change.
You'll need to submit an application for a replacement testamur (pdf 112kb). The cost for a replacement testamur can be seen in miscellaneous Fees. To change the name on your testamur:
- Submit your change of name by completing the Variation of Personal Details online form prior to submitting your application for a replacement testamur form.
- Include documentation (for example, a marriage certificate, birth certificate, passport or divorce decree).
It will take about three weeks to receive your replacement testamur.
The Australian government introduced the Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS) to improve worldwide recognition of Australian qualifications.
The statement includes details of your award and your achievements, as well as information about Monash University and the Australian higher education system.
You'll be able to show your AHEGS when you apply for a job or a place in a university overseas.
If there are any errors or missing information
You can request a new statement free of charge:
- If you find an error, such as a misprint or missing information.
- if you receive a prize after you graduate for work done as part of your award.
To request a re-issue, provide the details to Monash Connect.
If there is a name change
If you change your name, you won't receive a new AHEGS unless the change was made before graduating.
Buy additional copies
You can buy additional graduation statements from Monash Connect.
To graduate, you'll need to fill out one graduation application for your double degree. You can apply online in the Web Enrolment System (WES) by using the relevant link:
Although you're only filling out one application, you'll still receive two separate testamurs (degree certificates).
Yes, if you decide not to complete a double degree, you can ask for permission to transfer into a single degree. Please consult your School’s Education Management office on the procedures and eligibility.
Once you've met all the course requirements, you can graduate from that degree. You can then log into the Web Enrolment System (WES) to apply to graduate in a single degree.
You'll receive a hard copy of your award certificate (testamur) by mail. You'll also receive official digital versions of all three graduation documents through My eQuals:
- Award certificate.
- Academic record (transcript).
- Australian Higher Education Graduation Statement (AHEGS).
We'll give you ongoing access to these within a few weeks following your graduation round. You'll receive an email confirming when they can be viewed online in the My eQuals portal.
At the graduation ceremony, you'll graduate with the Masters award (as the highest award). You'll also wear the Masters hood and you'll be called on stage to receive this award.The graduation program will list you as being presented for the Masters award and separately in absentia for the Bachelor award.
Your graduation documents will show the same date for both awards, you just won't be called on stage to receive both awards.
If you know you're going onto further study, consider applying to graduate in absentia with your first award so that you have your graduation documents shortly after completing it.
Yes, you can graduate from both degrees and you'll need to make two applications in WES, one for each award. There are two ways of doing this. Please see below for your options:
Option 1 (recommended option)
Graduate from your bachelor's degree first and then, once you've finished your honours, graduate from your honours degree.
Your award certificate will list the date of your graduation, not the date you finish your studies, so it makes sense to have different graduation dates for your bachelor and honours degrees.
Option 2
Graduate from both your bachelor's degree and your honours degree at the same time. If you choose this option, you need to apply at the same time but with two applications - one for each of the degrees to graduate from both degrees separately.
Attending a graduation ceremony
Yes, the cost of attending a 2021 ceremony in Malaysia or Australia is A$150. This fee includes:
- The staging of the event.
- Your gown hire (available for collection on the day).
- Entry tickets for you and one guest into the hall.
- Two guest tickets for the live viewing area.
- The ceremony program.
Graduating without attending a ceremony (in absentia)
Although you're not attending a ceremony, we only confer awards during graduation rounds. We'll send you your graduation documents by registered mail and the following charges apply:
- A$18 for delivery in Australia and Malaysia.
- A$58 for delivery to all other locations.
We're currently unable to offer graduation documents collection from the campus until further notice due to the pandemic.
If you can't pay online, you can pay your graduation fee using one of the following options:
- Bank Draft
Record your student ID and Web Enrolment System (WES) transaction number on the back of your Bank Draft cheque so we know the payment is for your graduation application. Post your Bank Draft to
Graduation Services,
Monash Connect,
Monash University,
PO Box 197, Caulfield East VIC 3145,
Australia - Pay by Visa or MasterCard via WES.
- Log into Web Enrolment System (WES) and navigate to pay for your graduation fee.
Yes, you can change your application details if you're a current student or a past student of:
- Bank Draft
An Australian, Malaysia or South African campus. - Open Universities Australia.
We'll email you about six weeks before your graduation round. If you're attending, this email will let you know:
- The date and time of your graduation ceremony.
- Instructions for registering for your academic dress.
We'll email you again two weeks before your graduation with more detailed information about the day. If you're graduating in absentia, the email will outline:
- How to request your award certificate (testamur) to be posted to you.
- The last day to request to be in the first mailout.
- How to tell us of your nomination.
Keep your contact details up-to-date
We use the same email address you used when applying to graduate, so make sure it's correct and check for mail regularly.
You can update your personal details such as your postal address, an alternative email address, and telephone number online at any time in the Web Enrolment System (WES).
Yes, if you notify us at least six weeks before your graduation round. See update, defer or cancel your application.
To defer your graduation to a later round, log into the Web Enrolment System (WES) and click View/Update graduation application.
The two most common reasons why you can't see and select a particular graduation round in WES are:
- The round is closed. You've missed the application period for the round.
- You have unit enrolment/s ending too late for the round.
Each round has set dates for:
- The last teaching period end date for unit/s you're enrolled in.
- Your faculty to finalise course completions.
If you have a unit enrolment ending later than the teaching period end date for the round, you won't be able to see the round in the Web Enrolment System (WES).
The result publication date (for units ending later than the set teaching period end date) will be too late for a faculty to meet the course completion deadline for the round so we stop the round from being visible to you in the Web Enrolment System (WES).
You should lodge an application by the closing date for the round as we can't guarantee that we can accept a late application.
Our ability to accept a late application depends on:
- If there is availability in the round.
- When your request is made. If it's too close to the round, it might be too late for us to accommodate you, even if a place is available.
You can contact us with your late application request. A late graduation application fee applies if your request is approved. You'll also need to pay the attendance fee if you're attending a ceremony.
You'll get four tickets in total:
- One ticket for yourself.
- Three tickets for your guests.
In Malaysia
Application to graduate in-person is not available at the moment due to the pandemic. You will receive an email from us when we are able to organise one at a later date.
Outside Malaysia
All Australian ceremonies are normally held at the Clayton campus. This includes ceremonies for students studying at the Gippsland campus (Federation University).
We're currently unable to offer in-person ceremonies at our Suzhou, China campus.
No, you don't have to attend a graduation but you must still apply to graduate without attending a graduation ceremony (in absentia) in order to receive your graduation documents.
You can apply online in the Web Enrolment System (WES). We'll assign you to the graduation round you applied where your award will be formally conferred.
Malaysia campus graduation ceremonies are held twice a year; April and November.
In order to graduate, you must apply for one of the graduation rounds. You haven't officially graduated until your ceremony date or until you receive an email confirming that the Monash University Council has conferred your award.
For Australia campuses graduation rounds, see apply to graduate.
You're qualified to graduate once you're course completed. You're course completed when you've finished your course and your faculty has:
- Finalised your marks.
- Checked you've met all your course requirements.
You don't need to wait until you're course completed to apply to graduate. You should apply during your last teaching period, and then once you're course completed, the University will process your application.
If you graduated before My eQuals launched in 2017, you can purchase your academic record (transcript) in My eQuals. For step-by-step instructions, see our academic records (transcripts) page.
Other documents like your testamur and AHEGS are only available in hard copy.
If you graduated from 2017 onward, a digital copy of all your official documents will be available on My eQuals.
Before nominating to receive your award certificate by mail, make sure someone will be there to sign for your delivery in the weeks following the expected mail-out date. If you change your address after you've nominated to receive your award certificate by mail, please:
- Update your mailing address in the Web Enrolment System (WES) straight away, and
- Contact us so we can tell you if your award certificate has already been sent.
If your award certificate has been sent, we're not able to change the delivery address. You'll need to contact your mail delivery service to arrange for redirection of your mail.
We'll graduate you in absentia if you've applied to attend your graduation ceremony but don't turn up on the day.
After the ceremony round, we'll email you asking where we should post your documents. We won't issue a refund of your graduation fee in this case, but we'll post your award certificate without any further charge.
If you're attending a ceremony, you need to pay the graduation attendance fee before the application closing date for the round you've applied for. Check apply to graduate for application closing dates.

Visit eExams with online supervision and watch the online supervision videos to learn how it all works.
If you need IT support for your eExams, call the Monash Malaysia eExams Support Hotline on +603 55145600.
However, there are a few things you should check first to see if you can resolve the problem yourself. These differ according to the type of eExam.
Check out our troubleshooting and tips for eExams.
If you can't solve the problem yourself:
- When taking the eExam on campus, raise your hand so our onsite IT support staff can help you.
- When off campus, get in touch with the Monash Malaysia eExams Support Hotline on +603 55145600.
If your internet connection drops out during your eExam, don't panic – your eExam responses are automatically saved every 30 seconds.
If you can't reconnect to your online eExam session:
- When you're taking your eExam on campus, raise your hand so our onsite IT support staff can help you.
- When you're off campus, get in touch with the Monash Malaysia eExams Support Hotline on +603 55145600
How to reduce the risk of network issues during your eExams
If you're doing your eExam from home:
- Your internet download and upload speeds need to be at least 2Mbps. You can test your internet speed by running an online speedtest.
- Don't use a hotspot internet connection - it may not provide adequate connectivity.
- Inform your family members or tenants in your house of your eExams timetable and request that they do not watch Netflix or other streaming applications or download large files while you're sitting your eExams.
- You can connect with or without a VPN - just choose the option that gives you the most stable internet connection.
For more information, see device and system specifications.
For specific teaching periods, you can apply to convert all your passed grades to SFR (Satisfied Faculty Requirements). If you choose to do this, these grades won't count towards your WAM and GPA.
To convert your grades, you'll need to submit the Update your results form once all your results for the teaching period are finalised. You'll have two weeks to do this, but before applying, take a look at the advice on our grading and updates page. Once your results are converted, you can't change your mind.
If you have two final assessments (exams) scheduled at the same time, it's okay – we'll move one of your assessments to a different time on the same day. You don't need to do anything.
We'll email you two weeks before the assessment period outlining the exact arrangements for that day.
If you've withdrawn from either of the clash units and intend to sit only one assessment, you must contact us to let us know and confirm your new arrangements.
If you suddenly become unwell during your final assessment (exam), try to finish your assessment if you can. This is because, in most circumstances, once you've seen the questions or attempted to answer them, you won't be eligible to apply for special consideration.
If you choose to end your assessment session and wish to apply for special consideration, you'll need to submit compelling evidence of the severity of your illness or exceptional circumstances.
Requesting medical help during online supervised assessment
If you suddenly become unwell during an online supervised final assessment, you may request medical support from your online supervisor – they will get a registered nurse to call you on your mobile phone.
Special consideration
For more information, see special consideration.
Yes, you'll need multi-factor authentication (MFA) to log into Monash's eAssessment platform.
For more information, see Multi-factor authentication (MFA).
If you've failed a unit that falls within an eligible teaching period (with a mark less than 40), the grade will be automatically removed from your academic record. This means the unit won't appear in WES or on the Update your results form. You'll use the form if you want to withdraw from any passed units or convert all your passed units to SFR (Satisfied Faculty Requirements). However, you'll still be able to see the failed units in your results email.
More information is available in our grading and results update.
We may be able to provide you with alternative assessment arrangements (e.g. rest/movement breaks, extra time etc) if you have any of the following:
- Disability.
- Medical condition.
- Short-term injury.
You must first register with Disability Support Services. Once you've registered, you will need to make an appointment to meet with an adviser by submitting the Disability Support Services Registration as early as possible to allow time for any alternative arrangements to be implemented.
At the meeting, you'll discuss your support needs with the adviser - they'll assess your situation and suggest support recommendations to us.
It depends on the type of eExam you're sitting. If your eExam is supervised, you should log into the eExams platform and connect with your supervisor 30 minutes before the eExam is due to start. If your eExam isn't supervised, you can log in 10 minutes before it begins.
A unit might not appear in your final assessment timetable (exam timetable) because:
- There's no final assessment for that unit or it's not during the scheduled final assessment period. Check the Handbook for assessment details.
- There's an issue with your enrolment in that unit.
- There's an issue with your enrolment in that unit.
Your final assessment timetable may be incomplete in Allocate+ if you're registered with Disability Support Services and are eligible to receive additional help during the assessment period. In this case, we'll email to confirm your alternative assessment arrangements to your student email one to two weeks before the start of the assessment period.
If you think there's a mistake on the timetable, please let us know.
We'll email your student email address with the details of your alternative final assessment (exam) arrangements one to two weeks before the start of the final assessment period.
Alternative arrangements may include:
- Different start or end times.
- Rest and movement break periods during the assessment.
- Access to specialist equipment (e.g. computer, ergo chair).
Rest break periods (for online supervised assessments)
If you're granted alternative arrangements with Disability Support Services that include rest and movement breaks, you'll need to remain in view of your webcam when you take them. The time for rest breaks is incorporated into your overall assessment time.
Register with Disability Support Services
To be entitled to alternative assessment arrangements, you need to register with Disability Support Services.
How you request feedback on your final assessment (exam) depends on which School you're with. Please see your School’s Education Management Office for assistance.
No, you can't have more than two final assessments (exams) in one day. If your assessment timetable does show three final assessments on the same day, contact us and we'll fix this for you.
This year, you'll be able to view your final assessment (exam) responses remotely while COVID-19 restrictions are in place. We'll also be holding onto your assessment responses for longer than the usual six-month period – this means you'll still be able to view your responses if you weren't able to do this in the time set by your managing School. Submit the Application to View Exam Script to view your final assessment responses.

No unit result
Most students should have a result. The result may be WH (Withheld) if:
- You have an extension to finish outstanding assessment tasks.
- You haven't submitted your placement report (if you're a placement student).
- The host institution for your Study Abroad units hasn't yet submitted your results from your studies with them overseas.
- Your Unit Coordinator or Chief Examiner might still be marking your work and will update your result shortly.
With the exception of those listed below, you are advised to contact your School’s Education Management Office or Unit Coordinator with questions about your result. You must use your student email in all your correspondences. This ensures the privacy and security of your student record.
Exchange Students
First check with Monash Abroad to see if they have received your transcript from the host university. They can tell you if it has been sent to your School.
- Check with your School that they have received it from Monash Abroad and processed it.
- If you have received an original transcript from the host university, take it to your School’s Education Management Office for processing.
Study Abroad students
- Bring your transcript in for processing to Monash Abroad or submit it to them online.
- Check the information in the feedback on your assessments web page.
Unit result is wrong
- The result in the Web Enrolment System (WES) is an overall unit result, not your final assessment mark (exam mark). If you think the result is wrong, contact your School’s Education Management Office.
No, you're required to sit your assessments in the format set for your unit. If you have a medical disability or conditions that affect your ability to sit an eExam, contact Disability Support Services to discuss alternative assessment arrangements.
The GPA is an average of all grades you received in your course (e.g. high distinctions, distinctions, passes, fails and so on). Each one is given a numerical value and the values are then averaged. The Monash GPA is calculated on a four-point grading scale where 4.0 is the highest and 0.0 is the lowest achievement.
The WAM is a more precise measurement of your academic performance because it's an average of all of your actual marks (eg: 78, 85, 63, 48 etc.) combined with the year level weighting. The WAM is out of 100.
Grading and results update
To support you in achieving the best possible academic outcome during the disruption caused by COVID-19 and with the close involvement of elected student representatives, we've made some temporary changes to grading and results. To see the changes and which teaching periods they apply to, see grading and results update.
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is the average result of all grades achieved throughout your course.
For example, your grades might be a pass, credit, high distinction, distinction and so on. Under normal circumstances, all grades, including fail grades and grades from any repeated units, are given a numerical value. The values are then averaged, giving you your GPA.
Grading and results update
To support you in achieving the best possible academic outcome during the disruption caused by COVID-19 and with the close involvement of elected student representatives, we've made some temporary changes to grading and results. To see the changes and which teaching periods they apply to, see grading and results update.
For full details, as well as how to calculate your GPA, see grade point average (GPA).
A WH (withheld) grade means your unit result isn't finalised yet. Your grade may be withheld because:
- You have an extension to finish outstanding assessment tasks
- You haven't submitted your placement report (if you're a placement student)
- The host institution for your Study Abroad units hasn't yet submitted your results from your time overseas.
- Your Unit Coordinator or Chief Examiner might still be marking your work and will update your result shortly.
Make sure you've completed any outstanding assignments. If you don't know why you received a WH grade, contact your School’s Education Management Office or Unit Coordinator (see the Handbook). Otherwise, check WES regularly to see if your grade has been updated (the time this takes depends on why you received a WH grade).
An NH (Hurdle Fail) grade means you have failed the unit because you haven't satisfactorily completed all the hurdle requirements for that unit. If you're not sure of your hurdle requirements, check the unit entry in the Handbook. If you don't know why you received an NH grade, contact your Unit Coordinator or Chief Examiner. You may approach your School’s Education Management Office for assistance.
Grading and results update
For specific teaching periods, failed hurdle marks will be converted to NS soon after results are released. If you haven't already been given another opportunity to pass the hurdle requirement, you'll be offered a supplementary assessment. For details, see grading and results update.
Your WAM is the average mark you achieve across all completed units in your course (marked out of 100). It's based on your actual marks (eg: 78, 89, 63, 48 and so on) and the year level of each unit. Under normal circumstances, your WAM would include failed and repeated units.

Final assessments (exams) are usually:
- 1 hour 40 minutes
- 2 hours 10 minutes
- 2 hours 30 minutes
- 2 hours 40 minutes

Reading and noting time is incorporated into the overall duration of your assessment, so you have the choice to read first or begin answering as soon as the assessment starts. Check your final assessment timetable (available in Allocate+ and my.monash) to find out exactly how long your assessments are.
Your lecturer will be able to advise if you need a calculator and what type is permitted in your final assessment (exam). Some units may need calculators to be authorised by the unit managing School.
Don't worry, we won't ask you to remove your headwear for your final assessment (exam). If we need to confirm your identity, we'll ask you to reveal your face to a female staff member.
If you're doing your eExam with online supervision, you'll need your M-Pass (student ID) or a passport or driver's licence with your photo. If you don't present your photo ID at your final assessment, you may receive a fine or be reported to your faculty.
We publish all unit results in the Web Enrolment System (WES). Just log in to check your results.
Blocked student accounts
If there's a block (encumbrance) on your student account, you won't be able to see your results in WES. Contact our Finance Helpdesk to find out how to clear your encumbrance.
You'll find the unit result release dates on the your results – when and how page.

Your final assessments (exams) appear in your timetable just like your class activities do. You'll find them in the weeks of the assessment period.
For full details, see how to view your final assessments in Allocate+.
Semester 1 2021 final assessment will have staggered start times.
- Session one (AM) starts at 7am or 7.30am.
- Session two (PM) starts at 11am or 11.30am.
- Session three (EV) starts at 3pm or 3.30pm.
Start times in Allocate+ are based on Malaysia time. So, if you're sitting your final assessments (exams) in a different time zone, you'll need to convert the start times to your local time.
If your timetable shows you have a department-run final assessment, it means your School or teaching department is coordinating it.
Check your unit's Moodle page or contact your Chief Examiner for more information.
Students registered with Disability Support Services
You may have a different start or finish time if you're registered with Disability Support Services.
We'll email your student account outlining your specific assessment details one or two weeks before the start of the final assessment period.
You can view your personal timetable approximately four weeks before the start of the final assessment period (exam period):
- In my.monash (in the eExams & assessments tile), and
- in Allocate+. See how to view your final assessments in Allocate+.
If the format or date of your assessment changes we'll let you know, but you should also check your timetable again in the week leading up to your assessments, to confirm your final timetable. This applies to the main assessment period, as well as deferred, supplementary and summer assessments. Winter assessment times vary between Schools.
For timetable release dates, see final assessment dates.
Final assessments (exams) are generally held from Monday to Friday over a three-week period at the end of semesters one and two.To find this year's assessment dates and to see when your personal timetable will be available, see final assessment dates.
- Deferred and supplementary assessments are normally held six weeks after the main final assessment period.
- Summer semester dates are published towards the end of the previous year.
- For winter assessment dates, contact your School’s Education Management Office.
To find out exactly what you can bring into your eExam, see eExam rules. If you have an in-semester eExam, you should also check with your lecturer to see whether any other rules apply.
What you can take to your eExam depends on the type of eExams you have. For details, see eExam rules.
The Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) is a calculation used in Malaysia and doesn't appear on your academic record.
If you began your studies with us on or after semester one 2008, you can request a Student Letter that confirms your CGPA from the Student Online Forms.
For more information, see Cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA).
No, you're covered by the Blind Marking Policy. This means that instead of using your name, your Chief Examiner uses your student ID to identify you. This policy ensures the marking process is fair.
The Grade Point Average (GPA) is an internationally recognised calculation used to find the average result of all grades achieved throughout your course.
The GPA helps:
- Deferred and supplementary assessments are normally held six weeks after the main final assessment period.
- Universities compare your results with those of other students.
- Prospective employers compare your results against those of other job applicants.
For more information, see Grade Point Average (GPA).
We provide a Weighted Average Mark (WAM) because:
- It's a more precise measurement of your academic performance than the GPA, and
- It's used as an entry requirement for some honours and graduate courses.
For more information on WAM, see Weighted Average Mark (WAM).
An invigilator supervises students doing their assessments.
If you have a supervised eExam, you'll be supervised online via Monash's secure eVigilation platform.
Monash employs and trains its own invigilators to ensure you have the best possible final assessment (exam) experience.
Read up eExams with online supervision to learn more.
Yes, you can take your bag and other personal items into your final assessment (exam) on campus, but you must place all of your belongings in a bag and place it under your desk/chair when the assessment is in progress.
An eExam is an electronic assessment that uses Monash's own eAssessment platform. For details, see eExams.
