Applicants must ensure that they have met any specified prerequisite studies or their equivalent for their course of interest. Some faculties may have additional entry requirements such as interviews and folios. See the Victorian Tertiary Admissions Centre VTAC Guide or the Monash Course Finder for more details.

TAFE qualifications

Some undergraduate courses accept applicants with a TAFE (Technical and Further Education) qualification as meeting minimum entry requirements. Applicants must have completed an advanced certificate (Certificate IV or above) or the first year of a diploma to a satifactory standard. Applicants must also meet the university's minimum English entry requirements.

Scored or graded results are required. Where applicants provide assessment results in the form of pass/fail or competent/non-competent only, they will not be considered. However, where graded or scored results are not available, candidates should provide additional scored information, which may enhance selection prospects. This could include: previous Year 12 results, results of other post-secondary studies, or, for entry to some courses, results in the Special Tertiary Admission Test (STAT).
