  - Full enrolment quotas
  - Host university rejects the unit
- Check your course map carefully to ensure space for SIA units.
- Enrol in 18–24 credit points per semester.
- Only approved units will transfer credits.

If you’re an international student, the minimum enrolment is 24cp. Enrolling in 18cp? Make sure to submit a SORS Underloading Form.
Students may participate in SIA during their final semester only if they are in the Industry Experience Stream. However, please note the risks of doing SIA in the final semester:
- If you do not pass your current semester units and cannot meet the FIT5120 pre-requisites, your SIA participation may need to be cancelled if no replacement units are available to maintain at least 18cp.
- In that case, you will need to withdraw from SIA and continue your studies at Monash Malaysia.
For more details on the Monash Abroad withdrawal policy, please refer here.
Research units are not allowed during SIA unless you plan to transfer to Monash Australia immediately afterward. You can do SIA in your 3rd semester and then transfer to complete your Master’s thesis. Make sure you:
- Apply for the thesis using the Master’s Thesis Application Form and select Clayton as your location.
- Have your project and supervisor arranged before applying.
Submit your campus transfer application during the SIA period.
