Double degree to single for UNSW (1 Viewer)

[triheart]

Hey guys, for those current/past students from UNSW I'm currently doing Bach of commerce/engineering (double degree). If I drop engineering and I want to only do commerce do I require to have a min WAM of 75 to internally transfer? or I could simply transfer to single commerce degree without fulfilling that requirement.
Please tell me I don't need the requirement, scoring a D average is really difficult especially doing two degrees as once. Thanks in advance.

You don't need a D average, you can just drop it.

I don't understand the "doing two degrees at once is hard" line (in first year, at least). I know Engo/Comm doubles who have shorter timetables (by entire days) and courses that are the same difficulty (or less tbh) that I do as just an Engo single.

You can drop it no wukkas, they can't force you to stay in it. Basically, you're enrolled as doing both degrees, so you just un-enroll from one of them (afaik)

I guess it depends which double degree your doing. Some degrees share things in common however like mines it doesn't really seem so. I thought the double degree and single degree are treated as both different courses so I thought I needed the requirement to transfer and go into single comm degree.
Is there a website in unsw that explains that situation of dropping from double to single? All i could find was this

Sorry for asking even though you answered me I wasn't quite convinced still.

on the same note, if i wanted to do a double degree next year in commerce/economics and got the 2010 atar to do it*, do i need a D WAM etc?

* couldve done it this year if i wanted to

dude C wam should be enough, at uts I heard you have to go through UAC again and they combine your atar and WAM to get you in, since you had the ATAR, you have an easy chance.

(ii) A student may apply to discontinue the combined BE BCom programs and elect to complete either the BE or BCom degree in accordance with the rules governing award of that degree. Following discontinuation of one of the programs (BE or BCom), courses which count toward that program will not in general count toward the remaining single degree unless they meet the single degree requirements in their own right.

you can use your ATAR

Oh so the WAM requirement is for students who didn't get the ATAR result to transfer into that course? Thanks for the clarification really appreciate it
