What this page covers

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.

Published details may be subject to change. Please ensure that you check Allocate+ prior to the commencement of each unit in which you enrol. The Faculty reserves the right to add new elective offerings or withdraw any of the listed units if insufficient teaching resources are available or insufficient student numbers are enrolled in a unit.

Please see the Re-enrolment for coursework students webpage for details about when re-enrolment opens for any given academic year, including steps to re-enrol and important dates.

Please note if you do not receive a transaction number from WES (starting with a U) then you have not been enrolled correctly. If you require help please submit an Ask Monash request.

The Monash postgraduate law program does not follow traditional semesters. The postgraduate law electives have different teaching periods and have different census, and penalty dates from the rest of the University. Please refer to the Units with non-standard dates webpage.

The 2026 Postgraduate Law Elective Waitlist will open 10am Monday 5 January 2026 for all electives being offered in January and February 2026, with subsequent months being made available on the first Monday of the calendar month, prior to the month in which the unit is listed to commence.

Please note that this form requires you to be logged into your Monash Student account in Gmail. If the form gives you an error message about not having permission, you need to log out of all Gmail accounts, then log into only your Monash Student account, before trying again.
