Feedback on Academics and Student Life
Share your thoughts on your units by Week 4 through the Monash Early Student Survey (MESS, formerly ESSFS) to spark immediate changes during the semester. Plus, every entry joins our lucky draw for a chance to win major prizes!
Student Evaluation of Teaching and Units (SETU) is the official end-of-semester survey to evaluate your overall learning experience. Your feedback directly shapes the future of units and teaching quality in Monash.
The Student Affairs Feedback Form (SAF Form) is a platform to raise concerns or suggestions about campus life and services. Your responses will be carefully considered and presented to the relevant departments for follow up actions.
NOTE:
The SAF Form does not serve as a replacement for any existing official forms provided by Monash University Staff.
It serves as an additional platform for MUSA to gather more detailed and specific feedback, allowing for a more personal and direct avenue for students to voice concerns.
Semester 1, 2026: Survey open date: 24 March – 6 April
Semester 2, 2026: Survey open date: 17 August – 2 September
