Monash University follows the Universities Australia methodology for determining Week 1 of the academic year, based on Week 1 being counted from the Monday nearest 1 March. Similarly, Monash University observes the Universities Australia allocation principle for common vacation dates, with the common vacation weeks being:

  • the week beginning with Easter Monday;
  • week 19; and
  • week 31.

Information from the Universities Australia website see Vacation Dates.

Monash also observes the following events and protocols in constructing a calendar based on the Universities Australia approach:

  • Orientation Week occurs prior to the commencement of Semester 1 and Semester 2
  • Semesters 1 and 2 each have 12-week teaching periods (from 2011)
  • Semesters 1 and 2 each have a five-day Swot Vac before examinations commence (from 2011)
  • Semesters 1 and 2 each have a three-week Examination period (from 2011)
