Overloading (2 Viewers)

[lasair]

Hi guys, quick question!

I'm 2nd yr and I want to do 27 UOC next semester as I'm only doing 21 right now. Is this allowed? I heard UNSW is pretty tight on overloading but then I also heard that all I need to do is fill in a certain form and let them know why I want to overload.

Anyone know what I can or should do?

...

thanks.

OMG ! Like uni work atm isn't enough.

May i ask why you're planning to overload yourself ?

Whether they let you overload depends on how nice your program manager is

No harm in trying.

I was under the impression that you can overload to 27 without any problem, its just after 27 which you'll have to talk to the program managers. is that true?

bc i stupidly chose to do only 21 uoc this semester and since I don't really want to do a summer/winter course, i'm gonna try cram it all together next semester >__<

it also depends which faculty

commerce is stingy, won't let u overload anything til ur in final year
science shouldn't give u any probs

donno about the others

u can do 27 without approval. i'm doing 27 this session. i dont think it should matter what faculty ur in since it's all self-enrol anyway, but don't quote me on it (i do arts/law). but you mite need approval from ur faculty if you want to follow a different program to the typical program (i had to see arts coz i'm doing 3 arts this session and u normally only do 2)..
27 uoc is kinda painful though i'm swimming in essays

That's probably because you're doing law .

Or maybe software engineers will be swimming in codes..
