What do you mean you have decided to enroll? Commencing students at MQ cannot enroll until they have received on campus academic advice - enrolling is not something you do on your own at MQ in your first semester. If you have accepted your offer you would have registered for an on campus...

Technically this is correct, but be prepared to really push for it. I had to go through so much bureaucratic bullshit to be able to graduate with the program into which i originally entered. Can you link details of both the old and new programs? Usually when they make changes to a program...

if you're not feeling particularly scrupulous... every semester enrol as a full time student and collect your concession. Drop the units you never intended to take before the census date. Be a part time student with concession.

I don't like the concept that a degree not instantly providing you will a similarly named job somehow renders it useless. I did an Arts degree and i am now planning (fingers crossed!) on joining the ADF as an intelligence analyst. Some might say that my degree was thus useless. I disagree. My...

Nar, they're talking about the named degree B. Psych (Hons). In this case the honours component is built into the undergraduate program, though you still need to meet the same GPA requirements to enter the honours year as those who undertake it separately to their undergraduate program...

SIBT is very expensive, with units costing sometimes over double the amount that MQ undergrad units cost (http://www.sibt.nsw.edu.au/enrol-today/fees). That said, you can apply for FEE-HELP (http://www.sibt.nsw.edu.au/enrol-today/fee-help). All that info was found with a single google search...

imo 100 lvl AHIS/MHIS units at MQ baby first years far too much. What you describe above seems like a perfectly reasonable workload to me. Good marks are not supposed to be easy to attain at uni, you really have to work for them. OP, i wouldn't avoid a unit just because it is challenging, it's...

Hell hath no fury like an undergrad screwed out of their study space by an HSC student.

Kick their asses out, honestly, you'd be surprised how afraid they are of you.

Do be aware that university research work is incredibly competitive; many under grads/post grads would give their left arm for a chance to get that sort of experience. IMO it's highly unlikely that you would even be considered as a school leaver with zero previous work experience. I'm not...

You laugh now. Give it a few more years, you will become like me.

Yup, exactly as i said :p

There will be no second library. What there will be is a glorified child play room (complete with bright colours, sunshine decals and beanbags) where every dumbcunt on campus can hangout, eat pizza and pretend to study while actually watching youtube, shopping for asian housewares or playing COD.

Re: A First Year's Guide to University As far as i know Must Pass Final to Pass provisions are pretty normal. But i've never heard of students being denied the opportunity to attempt their final due to insufficient tutorial attendance, that's really rough. Kids, just go to your classes!

Re: A First Year's Guide to University Yikes, that's a bit much :/

Re: A First Year's Guide to University No worries, it wasn't a criticism :)

Re: A First Year's Guide to University I'm perfectly calm..? Was simply mentioning some things that deviate from the norm at MQ for the benefit of future readers.

Re: A First Year's Guide to University Just a couple of things. I just want to make clear that at least at Macquarie, non-compulsory attendance of tutorials/pracs is the exception, not the rule. Often attendance and active participation makes up part of your overall mark (up to 15%) and if...

What's the question?

If you're talking about this http://www.fass.uts.edu.au/international/language/level/index.html It's to ensure that people who already have some degree of proficiency in the language can't enrol in a beginners class and breeze their way to an easy HD. Also helps to make sure that someone who...
