When you use the "Program and Plan Search", and a list of subjects comes up, does it mean subjects that don't appear on the list you cannot enrol in?

I saw this as well:

The "Program and Plan Search" is a simple method to search for core courses and common electives associated with your program and selected plan. This search will only display courses that you are eligible to enrol in.

so say McLake and sunny enrolled in a third year course in Year 2 of their programs, did that third year course appeared on the list? or did you enrol in it by "Search by Catalogue"?

thanks

Search by Catalogue is the best way to go.

Search by Program Plan...., which should bring up core courses and common electives, doesn't work for all degrees. Some degrees haven't been updated on the myUNSW site.

but how do you know if you're allowed to enrol in a particular elective with "Search By Catalogue"?

i'm not paranoid.... it's just med science is really strict about freaking electives...

Well McLake knew what he was and wasn't allowed to enroll in, so he just went ahead and enrolled in them. But no, third year courses were not on that list.

I think that the system will actually prevent you from enrolling in what you can't. If it doesn't then you should email your course advisor (as zoodboog suggested) to make sure that what you wan't to enroll in is OK.

course advisor as in the subject i want to enrol in, or the course advisor for my program?

For your program

so so true. I always go by search by course but I had no idea there are now problems with it for 2nd years.

 

[Survivor39]

save.the.day, what course are you doing?

 

[t-i-m-m-y]

Can't you just use the virtual handbook to find out which course u need to do, and enrol on my.UNSW accordingly?

yes you could do that
but because the virtual handbook is no more, you'll have to use the new online guide, which i think is a much better layout and a lot clearer to understand

YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

"clearer to understand", if that's what you call, finding it harder to find your course, then i'm in agreement with you.

If they were so set on changing it, it's fine with me, BUT THEY COULD OF LEFT THE BLOODY LINKS THE SAME. Now my course, which had links to core subjects in the Virtual Handbook, just redirect's to that annoying new Online handbook front page (which means, I have to find the new links, which wastes MY TIME).

It's just more colourly and thus, MORE waste per bandwidth.

I DECLARE THE "BRING BACK THE VIRTUAL HANDBOOK CAMPAIGN" !!!!!

On the same note, they did this with the library catalogue as well, the link is the same, so that is ok. But the new format looks dodgy, probably introduce more bugs into the system, it always seems to happen!

hoe do u find out ur program coordinator?

at least with the new online guide everything is sorted into disciplines. so if you're doing engineering for example, just look up engineering and every engineering course is there, with subjects to take listed.
i really don't see the problem at all.
i hated the virtual handbook because it was so disorganised in the categories in which subjects were put. i could never find anything.

save.the.day, what course are you doing?

I do the same course as yourself i.e. medical science and I believe were in the same year just having finished my first year.

I just tried enrolling and using the "search by program" I believe its called at it doesnt bring up any subjects for medical science This is going to be tough for me now as I have to use the hand book to look up every subject that I need to do.

Last year the "search by program" worked so well as it showed you the sujects only that were fine for you to enrol in now I feel all lost

I suppose as everyone has said; for enrolling electives I'm just going to e-mail the advisor but with 100+ or so students in med sci thats a hell of alot of e-mails this poor advisor will be getting.

ok so I've just tried to enrol and I am just so confused with all the options med sci gives. Survivor, do you have any idea which subjects you're choosing there are about 8 different anatomy courses to choose from and 4 bio chemistry subjects to choose from and others and from that pool we have to choose just 36 credit points? Was just wondering if you knew if any of those subjects were required.

THeres just so many options and I dont know which ones best for me. Theres a note that tells us to enrol in the adv. courses as they are pre-requisits for year 3 courses but what really pisses me off is we dont even get told in the handbook the subjects we can choose from in year 3 so I dont know whether I should or should not enrol in the adv. courses. Argh so confusing. Guess I'll just e-mail the course advisor after Christmas.

I know what you mean. The handbook is just really slack on just saying "oh choose from this this this schools".
bascially you MUST choose 36 uoc from the list they provide you, and 6 uoc from that list or from Biological sciences...etc. As well as BSSM and one gened.
What's so annoying is some courses are not longer offered like ANAT2200, 3 uoc, ANAT2210 etc etc...) They made some changes to form some 6 uoc subjects like ANAT2241 or something which is still Histology but it's 6 uoc.. Can we actually choose this?? ARGH!

For the third year, I think we can choose anything with the prefix 3XXX from ANAT, BIOC, MICR....etc. (satifying the prerequisite for each subjects of course)

What I want to know is for the spare 6 uoc elective in Year 2, can we actually choose ANYTHING from Biological science? I'm afriad that we can't choose things like MSCI (marine science), Geology etc which are from BEES... or do they actually mean you can ONLY choose BIOSXXXX subjects? I don't get it...
