Hi, I made the mistake of putting engineering over commerce in UAC preferences for unsw. So this year I have no choice but stick with engineering and I'm wondering when is the earliest possible I can transfer and whether they will take into account only UAI or GPA or 50/50.

Thanks!

end of first semester is UAI only iirc

Thanks, if someone could confirm that'd be great. I thought it would only be poosible to transfer after 2nd semester.

you can apply to uni ANY time. whether they accept u is another story.

I don't think they offer midyear transfers for commerce. I may be wrong though

Usually for a Commerce course, you apply through UAC during the same time most HSC graduates of that year would.

So in your case....
You would apply around September-ish 2009 and wait until January of 2010 for a possible place at your desired university. Mind you, a B.Commerce transfer is much easier than one for Combined Law or Medicine, probably no explanation required there.

You can transfer mid-year for some courses? What? So that means if a uni only does 4 units in one semester..and someone gets straight High distinctions..that means their points are really high that they can transfer to..something like Law?

OHH, What? Because I am NOT THAT SURE but I heard from UWS that they allow for "transfers" to be done after 1 semester if you have enough of a mark to do so..yeah after half a year.

I think it depends on the institutions and their policies/rules in regards to changing universities if you wanted to or not. It looks like UNSW only judges on people's UAI in the half year..but then (I think) after 1 year - allow for their university marks to take over their uai if their uni marks are better.

Therefore it ALSO depends on the institution..right peoples?...PEOPLES? lol

I wish I had a time machine. I'm thinking of sending you to Ekaterinburg in 1918. Maybe Auschwitz in 1944.

Just ask UAC, or better still, head to Centrelink, because i would rather you waste taxpayers money on that rather than HECS.

uac.aplcnt · 26 Feb 2009, 4:14 PM

so that means it should be on the uac site

If you've done less than 1 year FTE, then only your UAI is counted

Macq has a 1 semester transfer policy where either UAI or GPA is considered IIRC

iirc = if i recall correctly - indicates uncertainty, somewhat of a disclaimer

*sigh*

Do your own research
