as I have read..

the receipt from the ATO is fine until March 2004 when they need it...

I still don't get what this subject selection thing is..

I'm doing biotechnology and don't have a clue!

The thing is too darn complicated

Just turn up at enrollment and be completely confused like the normal people. I hope there's a line for prepared people though...

Ash, have you already enrolled?

If so...

When you went to select your classes, did you get to chose which times you would attend or did they set your timetable for you?

well i went in about 15mins but thats coz they let me do everything first coz i was missing my physics course... but it takes about an hour, but can b made faster if u turn up about 1/2 an hour b4 ur due (so ur first in line), get the little hecs book early (its on the enrolling desk thingy) and fill in as much as u can on the 2 sheets in there, and the only wait then is in queues of ppl who didnt even know they had 2 choose subjects. its not really hard or confusing, ull b fine... hehehe i thought it was fun

oh yea, and parents are definitely allowed, most ppl had a parent when i went (i walked past all the engineering ppl and did mine)

I'm doing biotechnology and obviously I wouldn't know what subjects to choose...

do I just look at some list and choose what sounds good or does it have some description as to what's good to study for this and that?

also with the HECS booklet thing, what exactly is it? coz I don't have the Tax File Number yet, I do have a receipt from the taxation office so I hope I'm fine... is it that complicated to fill out?

hope the lines won't be too long :)

I'm on the 10am schedule, hope not too many ppl are in that surname! :p

OK this really doesn't make any sense.
I'm confused as to how the timetable maker interacts with the server. I know that sounds like a stoopid and irrelvatnt question but my point is...anyone can access that site and create a timetable and there is no place that I could find where you could log in and create one for yourself, BUT it still only shows the classes that are available. What's the point of it then? If you want to make a timetable with what's available shouldn't you be counted as reserving a seat in the class and therfore some sort of form thingy should occur where it confirms that you, as in me, have set YOUR timetable and booked in a place in the classes you select.

Instead it just seems like a bit of a lets-see-if-you-can-avoid-a-clash game. :S

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Dev

Your probably not doing anything wrong. The timetable maker is annoying in that it has a clash if there is more than one class at that time, which means when the room numbers come out, they probably won't be correct. Do what I do and make your own timetable =).

Sorry to say Jase-Rex but I think you completely missed my point. I wasn't complaining about anything to do with clashes. It just doesn't make sense in terms of virtuality.
If I enrol into a class, how does it reserve a place for me in that class? You may as well have a tripple overflow in 1 class according to the way they've set that timetable maker out. It's not like you log in to your own account and actually book a seat in a class. Or is it?

The enrolment system and timetable system are not linked. When you enrolled, you are put into that class, and you are now in that class and no one else can take your spot. You use the timetable system to look up your class times and room numbers, and if you want, build your own timetable that you can print out and stuff.
