The Master of Digital Communications (MDC) will not be offered to new students from 2009. The MDC has been replaced by the Master of Information Technology (MIT) and Master of Applied Information Technology (MAIT). The MIT, MAIT and their associated degrees are offered at Caulfield campus.
As advised by the Faculty in June 2008, Master of Digital Communications students completing their degrees in 2010 will be required to enrol in their remaining units at Caulfield campus OR via off-campus learning (OCL). All Information Technology on-campus postgraduate units (with the exeption of Minor thesis units) will run at Caulfield campus only in 2010.
The Monash University re-enrolment period begins on Monday 12 October and ends on Monday 23 November. All continuing students are required to re-enrol during this period.
Please follow the steps below in order to re-enrol:
If you require any assistance, please do not hesitate to seek advice from Clayton Student Services staff in the first instance.
