Please type in English, writing in netspeak is annoying and hard to decipher.

First of all, you need a really really good reason to pick up a subject. If it is required for your major it will be easy, but if it is just an elective it will be very difficult. Speak to the co-ordinator of the course (check the faculty website) and explain your situations. They MAY be able to allow enrolment but it is fairly unlikely.

Re: Textbooks / Handbooks / Student Fees

okay if you are REALLY hankering to access the textbook lists (although I don't see the point), go here:

Does anyone know how to go about applying for uni if you've already left school? I didn't think that I wanted to go to uni, but now I've decided I do...
And, despite the fact that UNSW will be hard for me to get to, is it worth it? It is on my top 4 list.

Hi Mel,

Depending on what you wish to enroll in, Medicine, Medical Science, as well as some other courses accept mid-year intake, your semesters may vary alittle though.

It's best to enroll into a degree at the start of every year via UAC (Applications open around October/November, check with UAC site, and grab their handbook (and since you're not a Year 12 student, you won't get the UAC handbook for free).

Also, if you're planning to take a degree into UNSW, usually the lowest UAI is about mid-60s onwards.

 

[jemsta]

haha ive never seen a degree at UNSW with a UAI of mid 60s
its more like low 70s

 

[uhawww]

Even DFEE?

Yes, but they might be nice and let you in if you are below anyway (I think the lowest D-FEE is something like 75?).

The short answer is "yes". For full details on how to get to UNSW, check out the transport page on the O-Week wiki at:

Most popular subjects will have classes at night, but not all. You get to choose your classes when you choose your timetable, so you can choose accordingly, but beware that not all subjects will give you the possibility to study late.

wow it would be interesting to go to uni at night since u couldnt go to highschool at night.

I have an Economics lecture from 6-8pm on Wednesday nights, and I had the opportunity to have my tutorial start at 8pm the same night.
