Dear Monash University,
The decision to cease distribution of student diaries for 2014 has not been met favourably by the students of Monash University. The feedback has not been good and students are feeling frustrated.
While Monash University budgets may be tight, students have come to expect that they will receive a student diary as part of their enrolment and university fees for the year.
The student diary was not only a useful tool for students to manage their timetables; it also provided a great deal of vital information for students. The first year students found it exceptionally useful.
Please reinstate student diaries for 2015!

Having a diary with Monash's important dates/exam periods already marked in (with the addition of our own special dates) makes uni life so much easier! Especially, myself speaking from a first-year student's perspective.
I used these diaries everyday! I was very upset when I found out we wouldn't be getting them this year. I would have even been happy to pay $5-10 for it- great size, great to have uni dates and info/maps
I do not find using a smart phone a good substitute for a physical diary. I would much rather plan myself with a diary than relying on a phone, which has the potential to stop working and loose all my data.
I realise this is a cost cutting exercise, but it is a fantastic resource and helps form a sense of belonging and identity for the students
why no diary!?! Had weeks listed, important MONASH SPECIFIC and UNI SPECIFIC dates; which other store-bought diaries do not provide, and also good Uni-tips.
You walk around campus and see how much light's on and think about waste! If you want to save money, that could be a start, not this!
:)

I'm a book person, so I don't really use the apps to remind me of things that I need to be done. I used both 2012 and 2013 diaries, and would totally appreciate it if we can bring back them diaries in 2015!
