Get it now, I've seen it for myself already, it's pretty darn long lolol. Might as well get your textbooks and get acquainted with your surroundings while you're at it.

And I think the Concession sticker expires at the end of March.

Found out that after bridging course I have to go back and get another id card, because mine says NAwd... But at least the lines won''t be as long, and I can have a shot at a better looking photo :)

Lol I don't like mine, but I just can't be bothered to go back to FM Assist to get it again, as it took me ages to find the place, and \I have a funny feeling I'll get lost trying to find it again. I have to get a map ><

Yes...because all students should get a visa card combined with their student card...

Hi Jenecis, long time no speak! Hope your holidays have been fun ^^

Well for all the transfer students who currently have ASB, Eng or etc on their uni ID cards, they'd have to get a replacement card for sure. However for returning students (law, eng, sci etc), FM Assist will only put on a shiny-gold holographic sticker saying "2010" on top of your card after filling in a certain green 'transport form'. That's what happened to me lol. If you look at your Student ID it will say for most people valid till 30/12/2012, and it means just that. All part of the plan to cut costs at UNSW I guess.

Again I stress that you get your ID cards by the end of this week, because by the start of next week, prepare to get your eyes/skin burnt whilst waiting in the blazing sun outside FM Assist.

This has been said before but I'll say it again. You can just get your student card after O-Week. The 2009 travel concession sticker is valid until 31/03/2010. I imagine new students without concession will also be given lenience until this date, should you happen to be inspected.
