    Bachelor certificate show grade

    Your testamur (certificate) just says "Bachelor of X" Pass or with Honours (First Class etc). It doesn't have any kind of mark on it. Your transcript has your grades on it, and perhaps your wam if you university/faculty includes it on your transcript (it wasn't on my arts degree). edit...

    accommodation

    What kind of accommodation are you thinking about/looking for? For the university colleges - I think applications close generally around september, its probably good to start putting in applications for interviews now etc - look to individual websites for particular dates/forms. Most the...

    So hard to get information out of university, mayabe you guys can help?

    Some faculties don't actually calculate your wam for you - or put it on your transcript. Eg. Arts faculty - wam does not appear at all on transcript. Of course if your employer asks for your wam, you calculate it yourself (everything is worth equal - no difference for first/second/third year...

    Semester 1 Exam Timetable

    Re: Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread some subjects don't have exams. Eg. They may have take home exams (they may be in week 13 or in stuvac/exams), or just no exams at all - all assignments instead eg. I have a 4,000 word essay instead of an exam for a subject. To be honest for some subjects...

    How to become a university lecturer?

    I just have to correct one thing - there are teaching only positions at universities now. No one likes them, because a university academics aim is to research, however uni's are using teaching only positions as a way to cut costs, and/or force out academics who aren't performing in their...

    Semester 1 Exam Timetable

    Re: Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread Doesn't appear to be up yet - although the release date says 3 may - when you follow the link it says it will be released "after Thursday 3 may" so I guess we have to wait until later in the day or perhaps tomorrow. I was kind of anxious to see what my...

    Arts/Law at SydneyUni

    I was always under the impression that you could only do one major in arts when combining with law. That's because generally a major requires at minimum 6 'senior' subjects (2nd or 3rd year subjects - first year subjects generally don't count towards a major), and you only get the opportunity to...

    Semester 1 USYD Chatter Thread

    It must be, Facebook groups/pages/photos for union candidates have started popping up all over my newsfeed :p not sure about the actual dates though.

    Is it true the Seniors always look down on First Year Freshmans?

    The terms are only used in the residential colleges - in which case, yes, there is some form of heirarchy between seniors and fresh - but its only going to come up in a residential college setting. And it isn't that seniors look down on fresh, its just that seniors may get preferential treatment...

    Clancy Auditorium - Parking?

    yes free on weekends, but I was there on Friday. The UNSW Orchestra and the Sydney University Symphony Orchestra teamed up for a joint concert of Mahler symphony no. 1. First performance was at UNSW last night, and there's a repeat concert at USYD next saturday. :)

    Clancy Auditorium - Parking?

    Thanks. I ended up parking in one of the parking stations - it was about $2.50 an hour, but only till 7:30 (free after that), so I paid about $9. Considering on public transport it probably would have cost me about $6 and taken forever, I think I did alright. :)

    Clancy Auditorium - Parking?

    Hey all, I have to go to UNSW this afternoon for a concert in the Clancy Auditorium. I was just wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction as to where I can park around there and approximate costs? I notice there is a parking station near there on botany st, but I can't seem to...

    budgeting for uni

    Well that's good! Personally, I realised with my expenses I couldn't live off youth allowance alone - rent/food/bills etc would be more than what I get out of youth allowance, so I have a job where most of my income comes from to pay everything. Shared rentals with students are quite common -...

    budgeting for uni

    Youth allowance can be quite difficult to get, however definitely look into it. Rent in sydney is expensive - especially around the uni's. It depends which uni you go to, and how close to uni you want to be - but if you want to live in the inner city (glebe/newtown etc for sydney uni), then...

    Loading your Visa Prepaid (Student Card) with BPAY

    Probably something to do with the public holiday. Also if you were transferring between banks it normally takes 2-3 days for the money to appear in the other account anyway (eg. Commonwealth Bank to ANZ).

    How do you become a tutor?

    Also depends on the faculty. In arts (history and ancient history for example) the only people I have ever seen tutoring apart from lecturers are Phd students (and possibly masters). Not even Honours students tutor. However in maths etc I know of Honours students that can tutor. It probably...

    Changing units of study

    You can still drop a subject (last day tomorrow), but you can't pick any other subjects up (deadline for that was a week or so ago).

    Ok thanks for correcting me! I haven't looked at it all in a while :)
