If it's not showing not properly, send an ask.mq request. I had an issue with things not coming up after one of my transfers and they fixed it quickly.

Still mad we don't have an icecreamery place.
damn, how strict is MQ uni with internal transfers. im doing bach of commerce (Accounting) and want to transfer to Bach of commerce - prof accounting. the gpa requirement to transfer is 2.5. i think im a few points below. but i have accounting experience and extracurriculars etc. i dont think they look at these experiences and just measure your gpa. hmm. i hope they aren't too strict with gpa.

Are you on the 4.0 scale or 7.0 one?
I didn't have an issue with my internal transfer, though I didn't have a GPA requirement. You can't actually give any additional documentation as to why your transfering (Ie. In Your case you wouldn't be able to say you've got experience) , so they only assess you against GPA.
You could continue your degree until you've got a 2.5 GPA. Just do the same subjects as professional accounting and it shouldn't make any issues when you do transfer.

Yeah the problem with early timetables is you either get something fantastic or not enough classes are available yet so you end up with the basics and it's awful. I normally just check back once a week until I find better slots.Did it early but its pretty bad

Doubt they'll add lectures or seminars/tutorials to make my timetable better. I suppose that's the bad thing about third year.

I have a couple of friends that are deciding to do 3 units instead of 4 for second year. Now that I think about it makes sense, with units getting harder and workload increasing for each one, as well as the better potential to look for part time jobs/internships to develop your resume. If it feels too chill I'll just switch back the next semester.
Have you guys thought about this?

IMO seems a bit silly to drop to 3 if you don't have anything lined up or can cope with the work load. Your putting yourself behind early, and if you do get an internship/grad offer, your going to force yourself to overload because you haven't got a summer session to fall back on.
Maybe wait until your 3rd/Final year before doing it. If you don't get an internship, take a unit over summer so you can do 3 subjects in semester 1 of your final year (when grad applications and interviews occur). If you do get an internship, then you know your going to finish on time without overloading.
My grad offer is conditional on me graduating by a certain date. There were two other interns I know had to turn down their offers because they would not complete by that date. Basically, they'll have to do grad applications all over again at the start of next year during their last semester. If they don't get mid year intake, that could mean 6+ months without income because they can't get Youth Allowance and may not have a job anywhere else.
But of course it's up to you.
