yea u can, just go to myadmin then enrolment variations. You can change and add subjects up to 2nd week i think.

There might be a limit of how many changes you can do though. im still undecided myself on one unit this semester.

and what do u mean add subjects? cause you can only do 24 credit points a semester and with faculty permission you can do 30.

You can add subjects until Friday 16 March.

It can be done online. Go to https://ssa.usyd.edu.au/ssa/ and click 'Enrollment Variations 2007'

You can add online up until the second week of semester. After that they might allow it with associate dean permission. You have 20 variations online after which you need to apply in person.

Depending on faculty, you can overload to 32cp without permission. Further units require associate dean's permission (trust me, you don't want to do more than 30cp).

You can't do a transfer mid year as it's not internal. You need to apply with UAC near the end of the year.

As for specific subjects, I can only comment on what I did through flexible. In first semester it was ENGG1800 (Intro to eng discipline) and ENGG1801 (Eng computing), and ENGG1802 (Mechanics). However mechanics can be substituted with PHYS1001, check with department for specific details.

For both semesters you need your 12cp of maths. In semester one, try to do ENGG1800 and ENGG1801 (if you can't do the latter, don't worry, combined people are known to take it in second year). I did chem, you might be alright with just doing physics but check with department. I think what you'll be doing will not be up to course requirement but Doug might waive it. For second semester, if you do physics in first semester there's no need to do mechanics.

As for the other subjects listed on the website, I'm not sure whether I didn't do the combined exempt units because I was combined, or because I was flexible. Again it's best to check with department. For ENGG1803 (Professional), I was exempt, but I'm not sure why I was exempt.

If you do my combination (ENGG1800, 1801, 1802/PHYS1001) and one of chemistry or physics in both semesters, and obtain a D average, I'm pretty sure any shortcomings will be waived. You might lose a few electives later on but you will definitely finish without delay.

If you choose to do combined, the above combination will definitely work (well, it did for me).

As for mechanics vs physics, I recommend physics because you need to do 36cp of junior science for BSc, and if you do combined you can get that out of the way without using up 2nd year electives to finish your 1st year science requirements.

Thanks, I can do mid year UAC transfer. Will they let me do engineering subjects eventhough I a bsc? I worked it out, since I have a few exemptions for the combined degree, I will only have to do 2 first yr courses in 2nd yr. AERO1560 and engineering computing.

Science will allow you to do subjects from other faculties. It shouldn't be hard, explain to engineering what you want to do and they should be fine with it.

AERO1560 is a bitch is KC is taking it. If you can do ENGG1800 and avoid AERO1560, you might as well make life easier.
