The institute was constituted as Monash University College Gippsland on 1 July 1990 and was designated as one of eight National Distance Education Centres in Australia. Monash University Council became the college's governing body with provision for a Gippsland Advisory Council and Academic Board to advise their Monash counterparts and act with powers delegated by the Monash governing bodies. Discussions within the University College and within the wider Gippsland community continued during the following years until broad agreement was reached for closer academic and research collaboration with the greater Monash University. On 1 January 1993 the college became Monash University Gippsland Campus.
