NOTE: New courses, or course amendments cannot be published in the Handbook until appropriately endorsed* (this includes both faculties in the case of double-degrees). Faculties are responsible for ensuring compliance with course approval requirements prior to publication of a course in the Handbook.

Endorsement is granted:

• by the relevant faculty board/s
• via the University course approval process.

Separate arrangements apply for research masters and doctoral proposals.

* In exceptional circumstances, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education) may approve the publication of a course entry in the Handbook prior to its formal approval.

Faculty-level approvals

All new and amended units (except cross-listed and Passport units), and course amendments that are not categorised as 'major amendments' are approved by faculties using the relevant faculty-level procedures approved by the dean.

University-level approvals

For details on the Monash course and unit (cross-listed and Passport units) approvals process visit the the Office of the Pro-Vice Chancellor Learning and Teaching.
