Fees Guideline
Refund Policy
General Fees
All general fees are non-refundable unless otherwise stated.
Tuition Fee
Normally, no refunds will be made after the fourth week of teaching.
The grounds for refunds are set out below:
Full Refunds
• Withdrawal of an offer of a place by the University or
the University’s inability to provide the course. This would include
the situation where you could not meet a condition required by the
University in its letter of offer. (If the offer is withdrawn on the basis
of the application/student supplying incorrect or incomplete
information, the University reserves the right to retain 10 percent of
the first semester’s tuition fee).
• Exclusion by the University for failure to meet degree progression
rules where fees were paid in advance of notification of exclusion.
• Refusal by the Malaysian Government authorities to grant
a student visa.
• Illness or disability preventing the student from taking up
the course.
• Death of a close family member (parent, sibling, spouse or child).
• Other special or extenuating personal circumstances preventing
you from taking up a course may be accepted for a full or partial
refund at the discretion of the Finance Manager of
Monash University Malaysia, prior to the commencement of
the course.
• Documentary evidence must be provided in support of
an application for a refund under any of the above provision.
Partial Refunds
• If you pay your tuition fee for one semester in advance, gives
notice in writing to Monash University Malaysia, at least four weeks
prior to the commencement of teaching in that semester (or four
weeks prior to the specified date for the commencement of a
research program), of an inability to undertake the course, tuition
fee paid in respect of the semester is refundable less an
administrative fee of 10 percent. For Summer semester, the notice
must be given at least one week prior to the commencement of
teaching in Summer semester.
Fee Statement and Non-payment of Fees
Prior to the commencement of each semester, the University will
send a broadcast notice to the existing students to compute and
download the “Fee Invoice” from the Monash University Malaysia
website. In the case of a new enrolment, the payment will be
based on the letter of offer to the new student. If you do not pay
the tuition/general fees by the due date shown, you shall be
charged a late payment fee of RM100 and a penalty of RM100
for every month of non-payment thereafter. If you continue to
have outstanding tuition/general fees, your enrolment at Monash
University will be encumbered. This will result in the computer and
library access being withdrawn and the examination results being
withheld, and you will not be permitted to enroll in the following
semester until all outstanding fees have been paid. Further delays
in paying the outstanding tuition/general fees will result in your
enrolment at Monash University being invalidated. International
students who are invalidated will be reported to the Department
of Immigration for the breach of student pass conditions.
Extension of Time To Pay Fees
If you are a re-enrolling student encountering financial hardship,
you may apply for a short-term extension of time to pay the fees
by completing the "Semester Instalment Plan Application Form"
which may be obtained from the Monash University Malaysia
website (subject to terms and conditions). You should apply only
if you are suffering from serious financial problems. The application
must be submitted one week before the first day of the teaching
period of the semester. If you fail to pay by the stipulated due
date, you will be charged a late payment fee of RM100 and a
penalty of RM100 for every month of non-payment thereafter. you
will also risk the invalidation of your enrolment. Applications for
instalment plan may not be lodged for added units.
• If you give notice in writing less than four weeks prior to the
commencement of teaching in that semester or less than one
week notice in a Summer semester of an inability to undertake the
course, tuition fee paid for the semester is refundable less
20 percent (including an administrative fee of 10 percent).
• If you withdraw from a course within the first four teaching weeks
(or four weeks of a research program) or first week of Summer
semester, you shall be eligible for a refund of 50 percent (including
an administrative fee of 10 percent), provided all fees have been
paid: otherwise 50 percent of tuition fee is due to the University.
• The policy of partial refunds applies equally to commencing
students and continuing students.
Application for a full or partial refund must be made in writing to the
Finance Manager of Monash University Malaysia setting out the
reasons for the request and accompanied by supporting documentation
as appropriate. Where fees are paid by a party on behalf of the
student, the University reserves the right to notify that party. If you
discontinued a single semester unit in the first four weeks of the
semester, there is no financial penalty. If you discontinued a single
semester unit from the commencement of the fifth week, you will be
charged general fees for the unit and full unit fees.
