im doing med sci yr 1 right now and wish to transfer to the dent skool in griffith uni.
i heard sometime in the past on a post that only my GPA would count in transfering not my UAI, but now im getting mixed answers,,,...
ive done bad in high skool (cambridge qualification in NZ) so the UAI thing would
simply KILL ME, and would stop me from getting anywhere.
Does it all depend on the different unis?

p.s ive finished high skool in 2007

I'm currently at MQ, and I want to transfer into USYD.
I was wondering, what is counted as a full year of study? After two semesters of study, I would have only done 7 units.
If that is not enough, would doing a summer school unit count, or is it too late?

[Andi0390]

Seven units doesn't count.

I don't know about the summer school - it might count - but it would probably be too late for 2010 first semester entry. They release main round offers early-mid January and you would need your results by then - maybe later for a later round but I don't think it would work.

Okay thanks
I just found and read the UAC Full-Time Equivalence thing on UAC.

Full-time equivalence (FTE)

When you calculate the full-time equivalence (full-time years enrolled) in the course or employed at the company, tell us the nearest quarter year.
For example:
1. If you were enrolled for 3.5 years as a part-time student, your FTE is 1.75.
2. If you completed five full-time semesters and there are two semesters in each year, and you are currently in your final full-time semester, your FTE is 3 (including the current semester).


It's a little vague, but from what I understand, i'm not enrolled as a part time student, so shouldn't my studies count as full time?

But even if that's wrong, and 8 units/ year equates to a full year, then 7/8 units = 0.875 years of study. If it is to be rounded to the nearest quarter, then it should be rounded up, since it's smack bang in the middle of 0.75 and 1 year of study. Does this sound correct?

I'm 99% sure you need to have done 8 subjects (or equivalent) for it to count

[Roguey]

If anyone is interested, I ended up emailing the UAC Enquiries and the reply I recieved said that 7 units will count as a full year of study.

What happens if im doing a double degree of comm/law and want to transfer out into another institution and do just commerce? do they count the results of my law units? cos if they do, im fucked.

[Andi0390]

For transfer they count everything you do to form your GPA. You GPA is used for entrance if you have done a year (or equivalent) full time study. It doesn't matter if its from an english unit, physics unit - whatever. A grade is a grade.

Hey everyone,

I'm 21 so im a mature age student, I want to transfer into a course which has a 85 "ATAR" at UTS.

I have a horrendous UAI, lower than 50.., but a 6.00 GPA after 4 subjects and im taking 5 subjects this semester to increase chances.

Do I need to take it up to a HD average to transfer ?, if anyone can let me know what to do, that would be great thanks.</SPAN>

Hey Guys,
I want to transfer within Usyd. Im currently doing my first year of a BA, because I was not sure which career I wwanted to follow, but I have had my heart on education for a while now. I did the history/english units necessary for the arts part of the combined BA/edu degree. I want to stay at Usyd.

So questions:

-How do I apply, still through UAC?

-Will they count the arts subjects that I did.. and what does that mean for me next year? Will i be continuing with half arts-edu or will I only be doing education subjects since I have finished the history and english subjects necessary for the first year?

Any help would be great?

Thank you so much.

If there is no option for internal transferring, then yes, apply through UAC. On time application closes in 3 days (September 30), so quick quick
