18. Course maps to help you plan…

19. Extra info: do you have credit?
Credit recognises previous study at tertiary level that can
be counted towards your course. It can reduce the number
of units required to complete a course.
To submit your credit application:
• Email to sci-enquiries@monash.edu, or
• Hand in at the end of this session, or
• Visit Science Student Services from 25 January
Complete the credit application form - https://www.monash.edu/science/future-students/undergraduate-study-
options/credit
