La Trobe Students for Palestine said the university has not met their calls and will hold a snap rally on Monday at the Bundoora campus after the deadline for the camp's removal ended on Sunday.
They are demanding the university not evict them from the encampment, that no academic discipline be taken against student protesters and the university cut all ties with engineering conglomerate Honeywell and Israel.
The university on Friday ordered the camp to be disbanded, citing the safety, wellbeing and amenity of campus users and visitors.

"Although the protests at La Trobe have been relatively peaceful and no classes have been interrupted to date, the university has considered the risks associated with the continued encampment activity," it said.
La Trobe student organisers said their protest was peaceful and the university's directive was part of a pattern of universities attempting to "crush pro-Palestine encampments".
They say La Trobe vice-chancellor Theo Farrell has not attempted to engage with the student's demands.
About 70 people joined a snap student-staff rally on Saturday to defend free speech and oppose the university's directive, organisers said.
Monday marks the fifth day students have occupied the Arts West building at the University of Melbourne in Parkville, saying they have no plans to leave after failed talks with university leaders.
The university said more than 15,000 students across 474 classes had been affected and alternative arrangements were being made on Monday and Tuesday.
The building was closed on Friday following a safety inspection which found damage and obstructions to emergency exits, fire panel access and fire-fighting equipment.
Victoria Police Acting Assistant Commissioner Mark Galliot said the university has not asked police to intervene.
"If we are asked to do anything, (we want to make sure) any response is proportionate ... and if we do go in, there'll be negotiations with those protesters before any action takes place," he told ABC radio on Monday.
"At this stage, we do not want to act and the university doesn't want to act because they want to seek a peaceful resolution to what's occurring."
