enrolling B.actuarial/B.commerce. which courses? (1 Viewer)

[motaba]

The census date is a couple weeks after uni starts, I think 31st March next year.
My understanding is that if you drop out of any course before the census date (also includes dropping out of uni altogether) then the government won't charge that course on your HECS.
But after the census date, the course fees will be added to your HECS no matter what, even if you drop out.

When's census and what is it and how does it work?

The census date is the last day you can withdraw from a course without financial penalty. If you don't withdraw by the census date you are liable to pay the course fee.

Are we allowed to change it later after i enroll the classes now?

You can but say goodbye to the nice time slots.

Is HSC economics assumed knowledge for actuarial/comm? All i have found is 4u maths...

Will i be at a disadvantage when doing the eco courses such as ECON1101 or is the course taught from the beginning? (anyone can sit and learn)

No only 3u maths is assumed for UNSW. 4u and English adv are 'recommended' so i'd prob get raped by the maths. Dw, you will pick up economics straight away.

I haven't done both business studies & economics as well.. Only 4units math

Business studies and economics don't even help. They will get you through maybe 2 weeks worth of content. And even then its fairly easy to learn yourself

SO basically the eco courses don't disadvantage students who haven't done the HSC course and are taught from basics

Will it be a disadvantaged if you didn't do 4u maths?

you won't be disadvantaged, but i reckon those who did hsc eco would have an advantage. I did it and I got higher marks than my other friends who didn't do hsc eco while doing less work.
Also do yourself a favour and go to Alberto Motta's lectures

Okay cool thanks!

Also how do you know who takes which lecture on the class details website?

hmmm, i'm not sure when you can find out who takes which lectures, you'll have to try and find it yourself, or ask your friends who they have when uni starts. Just make sure he is your lecturer!!!

Yes. You will probably struggle with the maths. Even people who get E4s in 4u find it hard.

Should I give up on actuarial studies even though I got Band6/E4 for 2u/3u?

You can akways drop later on. Do it for a semester and see how that goes
