Having trouble with your Monash account?

Activating your account

See our step-by-step guide to activating your Monash account from activation to setting up multi-factor authentication (MFA) and other handy self-service options. We strongly recommend you take up the self-service option for back-up codes and password reset - this can save you a lot of time if you forget your password or lose your phone.

Android users setting up MFA from China may encounter problems. Please see the help page at register for MFA from China.

Multi-factor authentication backup codes

If you get locked out of your account because your phone is lost, damaged, or replaced, or if you’ve accidentally deleted the Okta Verify app, you can now use a backup code to reset your MFA and get back into your account.

Password problems?

For any password problems, visit Identity Management Services. You'll also find how to register to change your own password.

Need more help?

If you're still experiencing issues creating an account and/or accessing your email, contact the Service Desk for help.

Had a previous Monash account or offer?

If you've received a previous offer and already have a Monash account, you don't need to create a new one - go straight to step 2.

Using your Monash account and email

Use your account to access your email, class timetable, my.monash portal, course materials, the library and the Web Enrolment System (WES).

We delete your account if you don't complete your enrolment, so make sure you enrol by the deadline.

Foundation Year Programs

There are three different Foundation Year programs:

    • Foundation Year – Standard (course code: 3611)
    • Foundation Year – Intensive (course code: 3622)
    • Foundation Year – Extended (course code: 3633)

If you’re unsure which Foundation Year program you’ll be studying, check your offer letter now. You’ll find it there.


Program structure

Depending on your program, the number and length of semesters may vary. Have a look at this program structure map showing the expected course durations to help you understand:

Plan your Semester 1 units

Click on the Foundation Year programs below according to your offer letter, it has more information on how to select the Semester 1 units:

Foundation Year - Standard (course code: 3611)

Now that you have learned the importance of picking the right units, it is time to decide your four (4) ‘Unit 1’ subjects! As a student commencing the Foundation Year - Standard program please:

  1. Select English Unit 1 (MUF0011) as it is compulsory
  2. Ensure you have selected units that are prerequisite(s) to your Destination Degree. Click here to find about your Destination Degree prerequisites units: Destination degrees | Foundation Year | Monash College
  3. Consider studying a mathematics subject if it isn’t already a prerequisite. This will give you more options at Monash University if you do decide to change your Destination Degree later. Please note: the Mathematics Unit 1 (MUF0091) cannot be studied together with the Fundamental Mathematics Unit 1 (MUF0141). And if you wish to study the Advanced Mathematics Unit 1 (MUF0101), you must also study the Mathematics Unit 1 (MUF0091) together.
  4. The remainder of your units should be subjects that are relevant to your Destination Degree, and that you enjoy, as this will help boost your final Foundation Year score!
  5. If you’re unsure, the Careers Advisers can help you select your subjects when you arrive. Contact them via careers@monashcollege.edu.au.
