Changing, adding, and removing units? (1 Viewer)

[shakky]

How and when do you get to change or add units before semester 1 @ Usyd? Is it usually done online or in person?

 

[Rafy]

Enrolment variations section of http://ssa.usyd.edu.au/ssa

opens early feb.

On the same note, can I change eng streams if I want to?

I would still advise you to send the degree coordinator an email anyway just to clarify anyway.

When I enrolled into B Comm, I wanted to major in Finance and Economics. One of the junior prerequisites for economics was ECON1001 Introductory Microeconomics. The lady who enrolled me said that it is now the same as BUSS1040 Economics for Business Decision Making, and so she took it off my enrolled units. Can someone clarify this, because it still says everywhere I have checked that ECON1001 is a junior prereq for majoring in Economics?? Otherwise I guess I can change it myself when this enrolment variations comes out.

thanks ozko, and @ noddis911: buss1040 has replaced econ1001. check http://sydney.edu.au/business/course/BCom under transitional arrangements for 2011+

yes i understand it replaced econ1001 as a core unit for commerce course, but does it replace econ1001 as a junior prereq. for majoring in economics, cause the website suggests otherwise? :S

http://sydney.edu.au/business/__dat...erce_with_majors_in_Finance_and_Economics.pdf

I printed that and took it into enrolment and followed it exactly. But even though both econ1001 and buss1040 are listed in the same semester, the lady said they are now the same. thats why im so confused, cause everywhere i look for the units to major in economics, econ1001 is listed and it doesn't say that buss1040 is either equivalent or replaced it for 2012.

I would recommend contacting the School of Economics and ask them directly.

Does anyone know if there is a first come first served deal going on with picking units and timetables? Would going in before mid Feb give me a better shot for my classes? I need 4 afternoons free for work :/

Technically you can't pick spots for your tutes and lectures individually. The timetable is automatically generated, and if you have a period of time you can't do, then you can input that particular time when generating. It's fairly limited so you may have to go into uni during O-Week and make a request. I'm not sure they will honour it though.

On the same note, can I change eng streams if I want to?

I think it's possible if you're changing to something within the same stream (Steam A and Stream B). Just ask for a variation form.

eg. Software to Electrical or Mechanical to Civil

Otherwise it'll most likely be through UAC.

Nah, bby, I applied for eng/MedSci through uac and then picked my stream later (on the day) and didn't really pick (the guy just signed me up) and yeah.
So I kinda wanna change.
But I dunno.

What did stream are you signed up for?

 

[engineering]

Go to the Engineering Faculty Office.

You can do any engineering stream with BMedSc if you had the engineering ATAR. eg if your ATAR was 97 you could do BE(Civil)/BmedSci, but you could not so BE(Aerospce)/BMedSci

[alstah]

How would I go about changing my Arts electives? They enrolled me in 4 per semester instead of 3

 

[Riproot]

Biomedical.
Although, I think I wanna do chemical or civil.
I don't know.
Someone told me those are the three the girls do and I was like "fuck, I'm gay."

Thank you, when can I do it?
Also, do bonus points count.
I only got 94.75 so I can't do any space ones or enviro, but pretty sure I can do everything else.

I think on this years information book about majors and stream, it said that electrical engineering has the lowest female population.

Okay…?
I am totes not doing that, electrical seems too difficult.
Also, I want more girls so I can make girlfriends, but mainly I just meant that I'm even girly with my choice of engineering.
