How many hours can I work on a student visa?

The rules are each country's, not Monash's, and they are different. Australia: work rights for student visa holders are set by the Australian Government, and the cap has changed several times in recent years. Monash's page links to the current Department of Home Affairs conditions - always confirm the number there before relying on it. Malaysia: with a Student Pass you may work only during semester breaks or public holidays of more than seven days, and for no more than 20 hours a week, at restaurants, petrol kiosks, mini markets or hotels; the page lists jobs that are not allowed. Every job has to be approved by the Immigration Department: you apply through the International Student Pass office and must be there in person when the application is submitted.

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.
