    Commonwealth Equity Scholarship and Start Up, do I get both?

    I am currently on a CES and although common sense would dictate that I do not get one of the new Start Up scholarships implemented to replace them, I can't find anything on the centrelink web page confirming this (the only pre existing scholarship they mention is the Commonwealth Education Costs...

    Has anyone done HSTY 2640 20th Century China Or know about John Wong? I've enrolled in this course and the subject matter looks interesting, but I'm not getting the best impression of the lecturer from the emails he has sent us so far. Does anyone know how he is as a lecturer?

    I am currently a second year student receiving youth allowance as a result of parental income, I am classified as a regional student because I moved from Katoomba to Sydney to study and currently get a Commonwealth Equity Scholarship of $4200 or so a year. I am aware that I wouldn't get the...

    Switching degrees mid year

    I am currently in my second year of a BA: Socio-Legal studies and am horrified enough about the prospect of two core subjects (sociological theory, I hate it!) within this degree to consider switching to something else. Is it possible to switch mid year from a BA:SLSS to a plain BA with a...

    Can one choose which major a course counts for when they overlap?

    I am currently doing a BA: Socio Legal Studies, and next year they are offering to count HSTY2671 Law and Order in Modern America as a part of the course. I am however already planning to make my second major History and would not want this course to count toward one of my already limited...

    Referencing a primary source using the Harvard System?

    Referencing a primary source using the Chicago System? I can't find any information on how to reference a primary source that isn't published in an edited book and I'm going mad trying to figure it out. The source is a letter declassified by the Department of Defense Papers from GK Thompson to...

    I think UAC screwed up my equity scholarship application

    In 2007 I got an equity scholarship at UTS, this year I left UTS for USYD and had to re apply for my scholarship, which I did. However, today I got mail from UTS saying that I did not need to re apply for my scholarship at UTS each year, and no mail at all from USYD. I've since been emailing...

    I am very, very confused (Socio Legal Studies subject selection)

    Hi I have been accepted into Socio-Legal Studies, and having come from first year Social Inquiry at UTS, I wasn't really prepared for how complicated first year arts selection would be. My aim has always been to choose history as my second major, and I really wanted to do a mixture of both...

    Question about Socio-Legal Studies

    I did a B Comm (Social Inquiry) this year at UTS and hated almost every minute of it. I've been looking at Socio-Legal and it seems very interesting, but subject names like " * SCLG2608 Social Construction of Difference * SCLG2618 Violence, Imaginaries and Symbolic Power" make me worry that...

    Hey, I'm seriously considering transferring to USyd at the end of the year, but I need some clarification with regards to using a computer for exams. My current course at UTS has no exams so this hasn't been an issue thus far, but I understand most everything has exams at Sydney. I have...

    Does one have the option of choosing if first year university counts?

    I am currently doing Social Inquiry at UTS and hate it, and recently I've decided to transfer to something in the University of Sydney. My question is, once you have done a year of university can you choose whether to apply with either half UAI half University or just start again with ones UAI?

    How does one go about acquiring a UTS student number?

    I accepted my offer to study at UTS in a fit of panic at 3am one night after waking up fearing that the cutoff for acceptance may expire and as a result I have no idea what my UTS student number is. I searched their website for information on it with no luck and tried the UAC number which...

    That exam was perfect in every way.

    Easy world war one, the easiest I have ever seen The question on China involved peasant communism! World War Two had Russia as one of the questions, which was brilliant because my best work was on reasons for Allied victory and the major campaigns. The Zhu De question was similarly easy, and...
