Students are at the heart of Monash University, and help shape the vibrant, cohesive community we’re proud to be part of. As a student, you play a vital role in upholding our values which reflect not only who we are as a University, but also how we connect with those around us.
The Student Code of Conduct reflects a shared commitment between students and the University to ensure the values of fairness, integrity, honesty and mutual respect, along with ethical conduct, which are at the core of everything we do. The Student Code of Conduct sets out both the University’s expectations of students, and how the University helps students to meet those expectations to foster a supportive, respectful, and thriving learning and research environment.
You can find the Student Code of Conduct (pdf), along with all other University policies, procedures and schedules, in the Monash Policy Bank.
