July 1 sees the introduction of Voluntary Student Unionism (VSU), however good news for Macquarie students…

SAM is delighted to announce that for the remainder of 2006, you will not be required to pay a fee for being a SAM Card Holder. More news to follow shortly ……

And there it is, ladies and gentlemen, the annual SAM communique to students.

 

[*hopeful*]

"You have to pay, or we'll umm...confiscate your card"... wasn't really gonna work.

 

[AsyLum]

Sure it was! Obviously you haven't been to Chairman Ma's house!

[Orange Juice]

Note the expiry date on SAM cards is 12/06... seems they had the intentions of doing this since whenever they made the decision (not that there's any logical alternative), even prior to the EFS donation.

(Not that this fact should take anything away from this thread)

woo! 10% off at JBHIFI for a year yay!

 

[iambored]

is this meant to be an incentive to pay our fees next year?

 

[AsyLum]

Could be, but it could also be just a generally good gesture.

 

[iambored]

i'm skeptical, maybe (wth took me 5 tries to type the 'be' of maybe) they just printed the cards with the wrong expiry date... but i think it's most likely that it was easier for them to issue them to everyone for a year and they thought why not.

does anyone know where i can get my SAM card, didnt get it cause i was in Canada? also does anyone know if its still possible to get a student diary? i know its a little off topic, but didnt think it deserved its own thread

cheers

Contact Victor Ma or try www.sam.org.au.

try the sam spot, they have them at the start of first semester for late starters, i don't know if they still have them there now. they might have them there after mid year enrolments are finished

 

[*hopeful*]

try the post office shop

 

[fornstar]

hey thanks to those you answered my question, i think ill try sam spot
thanks again to everyone

So who’s going to pay their fees next year?

 

[Supra]

its 178 per semester right? I need that money so i wont be getting it. Main consideration: how much do u use ur card. For me, i dont use it at all.

 

[MaryJane]

I wont be paying for SAM next year. I dont feel I get $180 worth of discounts to justify its use. You'd have to buy a lot of SAM stuff, with their pitiful 5 - 20 cent discount to get your money back

In fact, I havent met one person yet who said they will be paying their SAF's.
