So what does that mean? My supp mark is 43, I'm aware I have to repeat, but is there anything else that will happen?

Unless MATH1081 is a prerequisite for another subject, nothing else is supposed to happen...

It's not a prereq, so it's not stopping anything. I'm just going to repeat it next year where I'm more mature about studies (and actually attend lectures).

you have to overload on units, or you have to extend your degree, or pay for summer school or you can ask for a special consideration (if its like 48 or something)

Doesn't a 3rd year course outweigh a first year? And HECS covers a course two or three times (from what I read), not only one.

I don't think science subjects are subsidised anymore.

Even if a 3rd year course outweighs a first year...your GPA will still be negatively affected because you failed a subject.

As for HECS, I don't know about UNSW rules..but for faculties at other uni's, if you repeat a subject, you pay the fee again..

Yeah that's obvious that it'll be negatively affected, but it'll be extremely minimal. Whether I got 50 or 40, the affect is still negative compared to the marks of my other courses. And yes, I do pay again, but it's covered by HECS.

Overloading has a minimum WAM requirement. It's at least 75 for first and second years, not sure about later years.

It is still possible to get a 75-80 WAM even with one fail, right? Since all my computing related subjects I plan on doing extremely well in (and anything non related). So I'm sure this fail is simply a hurdle.

Yes of course. It's technically possible to overload next semester as well, given your other marks are good enough. Just something to remember if you do ask to overload (but ask anyway just to be certain).

depends on the faculty of the subject that you're taking. Arts, Sciences, Engineering have an WAM requirement of 65 to overload, whilst ASB is on 75. Unsure about the others.
