Transfer course now from different faculty (2 Viewers)

[toracat]

I'm currently a year 1 student doing computer science at usyd but however after the school begin, I thought this wasn't for me. So is it possible for me to transfer the course right now？since it is only the first week... so I want to change to art which is a different faculty from faculty of IT and Engineering.
Or can I transfer after sem1 or otherwise I have to wait for 1 year??
please help !!!!!!

If you want to change to arts, then you can probably transfer mid year as they will just take your atar.
However, you can't transfer now.

Well considering if you want to change B.Computer Science to B.Arts, it's a different faculty.

I believe USYD does do intake for B.Arts in the mid-year intake. If you've achieve the required cutoff for this year for B.Arts at USYD (which is 82.00), you will get an offer. You will need to apply through UAC.

Note that mid-year intakes don't do bonus points for HSC subject performance nor special schemes (like that in EAS points), so you have need to attain at least 82.00 as your ATAR purely.

Most certainly you will get an offer.

Though I'm not sure whether you use that same UAC application for the Jan main rounds or whether you apply for a new one. That you need to call UAC up.

yes, I will be using the same UAC application no. So do I just apply directly through UAC? Do I need to contact the faculties?

are you sure you're not happy in the course? I felt the same way this first week but it wasn't until last night i remembered why i chose my course and realised the issue was simply me being a little overwhelmed with the high school to university transition. Just be sure you're not getting cold feet before you go ahead and transfer

yea..I' m sure I am not happy in this course...since I just randomly chose this course after my atar released. also computer science required a lot of maths and currently we are learning 4u math but unfortunately I only did 2u in highschool, so I couldn't really catch up with other people.. I just realised what I want to do recently...(sigh). I hope it's not too late.

so..they will not take my grade in sem 1 for cs? also, do I really have to complete sem 1 for cs in order to transfer to B.art?

Yes you apply through UAC directly. Contacting the FASS wouldn't be necessary imo unless you have some other related inquiry.

Generally most universities would only count uni grades if you've studied over 48 units of credit (1 year of study, 2 semesters), so no they wouldn't count your uni results yet and thus will use your ATAR only. By the end of semester 1 this year, you would have completed 24 units.

You should also consider doing your desired Arts major courses now (counted as maybe minors or electives in your CompSci course now) so you wouldn't be wasting time in your Arts course next semester.

I don't get what you mean..., the likely chance of transferring into B.Arts?

yes yes

 

[sirable1]

yes yes

Almost 100%, I don't see why you wouldn't get an offer though since you exceeded the cutoff.
