Introduction

Welcome to MAPS !  At MAPS, we understand that Mature Age, Part-time and Distance education students have a different set of needs compared to the average school leaver of 18 or 19 yrs of age. MAPS strives to cater best to those needs and help students to integrate into their university life.

Mature age, part-time and distance education students are automatically entitled to use the facilities of MAPS by virtue of their enrolment status - which includes all undergraduates aged 23+ at time of enrolment at Monash University, Clayton campus. You do not have to join or register, just come in and use the facilities. We are located at Campus Centre level 1, directly opposite the John Medley Library.
