MON548: Handbooks (Monash)

Handbooks for intending students originally prepared by the Academic Registrar's Office. The handbooks give details of faculty regulations, available courses of study, and details of specific subjects. The first 'handbooks' were issued in 1962 and consisted of stapled A4 sheets for each of the five existing faculties of Arts, Economics and Politics, Engineering, Medicine and Science. From 1963 they were issued as softly bound volumes which ranged in size over the years from 135x203mm to 214x280mm. For 1989-91 information previously published in faculty handbooks was included in the Monash University Calendar. Since 1992 an Arts Graduate Handbook and a Student Handbook have been included as part of the annual set. Two archival sets are held of handbooks 1962-88. Since academic year 2000 faculty information has been amalgamated into two volumes - undergraduate and postgraduate handbooks. Handbooks for PhD, EdD and MPhil students for 1973-2006 are also included with the series. 2008 was the last year that handbook information was published in hardcopy format.
