Possible to transfer?

bumpppp

yes, of course, but you'll need to transfer externally through UAC like you would for any course. However, you'll also need to pay an additional late fee ($94 late fee applies) since you haven't applied yet on top of the existing charges (about $55 or so, from memory).

Also, some questions from me:

1) Why are you considering transferring to that degree?
2) Have you studied any arts/science units already?
3) What field are you trying to work in?
4) What was your UAI, what's your GPA?

I also noticed in another thread that you were considering doin law after your degree's completion. It would make more sense to just go into grad law rather than putting another year on top of your existing degree.

Answers -
1) Well..im considering doing it if I dont get into honours for economics or graduate law.

2) I have done 2 history subjects (in 1st yr)

3) Im not sure field i want to work in ...still tossing up my options.

4) Uai was in the high 98 range..GPA is close to a D..depends on this semester. thats why im not sure if ill get grad law. Ive already put in UAC form, with grad law usyd as first preference.

So yer..lots of different options


EDIT: oh yer and thanks for the info. i wasnt sure if i could do commerce lib, since im about to finish commerce.

the thing is, what would an extra year give you? if you have a D avg, you should also be fine for economics honours.
Also, note that you'll have to take 2 more arts (or govt) units, 2 science units, and 1 ecof unit next year if you go to com (lib). That's 5/8 units for next year.
You also need 2 commerce majors, so if you don't have that, you may find it tough to fit the second major in during the last year.

alright..thanks for the heads up. got sum serious thinking to do.

also.is it true that grad law entry only considers the last 3 years of your study? if i do well in 4th year lib studies, i can get a pretty high average. its 1st year marks that are really hurting my average at the moment.

Economics honours doesnt consider overalll average. you have to do complete a specialised pre honours stream and maintain a certain average in those subjects (70)...and its pretty hard to maintain that.

Funny I'm trying to do the opposite. I wouldn't recommend the extra year, you know it'd be an extra yr of arts and science basically but if that interests you (or the uni lifestyle suits you)...

i would assume that would be incorrect. i dont see why any course would only consider X number of years to get into. That would seem quite silly, as people wanting to get into grad law could take something like b arts/commerce and take all the difficult units in the first 2 years, then just take far easier ones for their final years. ive never heard of this 'last 3 years' thing.

Yer im not too sure about it either. Some one else informed of this. I think they thought the 3 years FTE which is used to work out the selection ranks, meant that only the last years get counted.
Does anyone else know what the deal is with this? what happens if you did a 4 year degree?

 

[Left-ism]

also..if i do transfer..do the pre 2006 conditions still apply for me ..or i have the same conditions as a post 2006 student would?

 

[stazi]

they use AT LEAST 3.0FTE years to work out the selection rank for grad studies.
and post-2006 conditions will apply if you transfer
