Page text

Text and tables taken from the official page, with collapsed sections opened, so it can be read and searched here. Images and forms are not copied, so open the original page when you need to apply or submit something.

The majority of Law undergraduate units will be run in semester one or semester two and have standard discontinuation dates. However, some Law Undergraduate units have non-standard teaching periods, unit discontinuation and penalty dates from the rest of the University. Web pages with relevant dates are linked below, do not use the central university census dates for the relevant units.

Before discontinuing a unit, you should check the dates below to avoid academic and financial penalties.

From 2025, all non-standard unit dates are published by the central university on one web page. You can find the non-standard undergraduate law units by using the search function on the new 2025 webpage linked below:

What is a census date and why does it matter?

The census date is the last day you can withdraw from a unit without paying for it and without it appearing on your record. After that date you are liable for the fees and a withdrawal is recorded. Census dates differ by teaching period, so check the date for your specific unit rather than assuming one date covers the semester. At the Malaysia campus, a unit withdrawn after the census date shows as WD-LATE or WD-FAIL, and the dates are in Monash Malaysia's Principal Dates.

When do results come out?

All campuses

Results are released per teaching period on the dates published in the official results calendar, and appear in WES. A grade can be withheld if there is an outstanding matter such as unpaid fees or an academic integrity process.

Do I still need to apply to graduate?

All campuses

From December 2026, Monash confers awards automatically, so you will not need to apply to graduate. Once your faculty confirms you have completed your course, you are conferred in the next monthly cycle and receive your testamur shortly after. You are conferred first and then invited to an upcoming ceremony, so graduating in absentia will no longer apply. If you have already applied to graduate this year, the current process on the official page still applies to you. Full details of the new process will be published in December. Not on the website yet, but confirmed by Monash's graduations office in October 2026: after you complete your course you can delay conferral yourself in the system by up to 3 months. For a longer delay, for example for a graduate recruitment program, ask Monash Connect; it can be up to 12 months after you complete. Your testamur shows the date the award was actually conferred. Monash Malaysia's own graduation pages still describe applying to graduate, so Malaysia campus students should check those as well until they are updated.
