Monash Graduate Association - MGA

Census date is Monday 31 August

Semester 2 census date is coming up. If you’re thinking about changing your enrollment, now is the time to check your options.

Withdrawing from a standard Semester 2 unit by Monday 31 August means you won’t be liable for fees and can avoid late withdrawal penalties on your academic record.

Not sure what to do? The MGA Advocates can help you understand your options and what you need to consider before making changes.

📩 [email protected] - get in touch before the census date.

We’ve got plenty happening to help you make the most of Week 5! ✨

From free groceries and Grab and Go dinners to a special Crafternoon where you can make your own masquerade mask, there’s plenty to get involved in.

Come along, grab what you need and join us for a few activities along the way! ☺️
