Welcome back to the continuing unswers, and a special greeting to the new faces.

For those who don't know this thread serves as a general discussion thread for UNSW students. Please keep all the miscellaneous and off-topic conversation here as well as comments/queries/observations that don't warrant a new thread. While posts that would generally be considered spam elsewhere are tolerated in this thread, please note that this is not a substitute for Non-School.

Hope you all have a successful year,

I believe the only way to get a new card is to go to FM Assist: http://www.facilities.unsw.edu.au/fm-assist/student-id-cards

If you're a new a student it's recommended to go to the library, where people will be set up to give you one there, until early march I believe.

If you're a new student taking an Arts subject, or arts major, then feel free to join the UNSW Arts Society.

I can't seem to long onto to zmail - is there a reason why I can't do this? I've accepted my offer and enrolled in all my classes - should I call IT?

Is there like some sort of reason as to why you can't enrol? Like, pass me a screenshot or something.

Re: Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread 2013

does it say "zmail error" or something, because i had the same issue. It's not an incorrect id/password problem

If you want a student card, you'll get it at O-Week. There's like a big line and then you also apply for student concessions and whatnot.

It's suggested to do it before O-week, because the queues get long otherwise.

I did it at O-Week. First day. Line was long but I had friends (BoSers) in line with me so we just chatted and got to know each other.

Do your tute questions weekly, don't leave study til the last minute. You'll be fine, so much free marks throughout the semester with in-class tests, online tests, etc.

Re: Semester 1 UNSW Chatter Thread 2013

MATH1131? It's mostly high school revision. But you did 2u, so just remember there are 3u and 4u students that will be doing the same as you and you're immediately on the back foot.

So just do what Mature Lamb said. Also get a good study group going, if you can.
