transfering (1 Viewer)

[Orange Juice]

anyone know anything about this?
stuff like whom to see
where to get form
when to turn form in by...
how hard it is to get a gpa of 2.5 (i need this to transfer apparently)
and what happens if my subjects for the first half isnt the same as the ones of the course im trying to get into

 

[dirty dave]

hmm, i know is that a gpa of 2.5 would be the equivent of around a credit mark.

as for the subjects, you can still transfer, its just that you can use the units youve already done as cps for the new course, if it is one of the units you can do at the new course

dont know about the other stuff, sorry

 

[*hopeful*]

ummm i read somewhere (maybe even here that to get 2.5 gpa over 12cp u need 2 credits n 2 passes but i dunno if thats rite or not
maybe theres contact info in the undergraduate handbook
btw anyone know how hard it is 2 get a 2gpa over 18 cp'z ?

right now im doing stat170, econ110, mktg101 and comp115
i know commerce (what im trying for) doesnt have comp115... so does that mean only 3 of my subjects which i do this half will count towards my commerce degree?

 

[dirty dave]

yea, although the commerce degree has electives so i suppose you can choose comp115 for that
check with the undergraduate handbook if its one of the electives.

I'm planning to transfer to Commerce as well. I'm pretty sure all u need is a GPA of 2.0 (pass average). Its in the handbook on page 30, or u can call the student enquiry hotline for more info.

I'm doin econ110 & mktg101 as well, i think in Commerce these r core units neway. As for comp115, it mite count, but it depends wot u wanna major in, i guess.

Btw wot degree r u currently enrolled in Orange Juice?

 

[Orange Juice]

b ebusiness...
i checked for commerce mktg
all my subjects are in the first year so its all good...
i checked the red book and it said need a gpa of 2.5 and 12 cpt..
i assume that was to transfer INTO another course

 

[AcStyle*]

oh oK, u wanna do Comm-Mktg, i just wanna do the generic B.Commerce, u only need GPA of 2.0 for that.

hehe i'm doin eBusiness as well

 

[Orange Juice]

i guess we might be doing same subjects then

whats the diff between bcomm and bcomm mktg?

and whats "generally" easier?

 

[AcStyle*]

I guess the main diff between Com & Com-Mktg is that u have to major in mktg, where as in B.Com, u can choose wot u wanna major in.

As to wots easier, depends on da person, if u r really interested in ur subj. u should be fine.

 

[Orange Juice]

so realistically you could still major in mktg and hence turn your degree into bcomm mktg?
cuz if so why wouldnt eveyone do that instead of limited their majors

 

[AcStyle*]

I am planning 2 major in Mktg, but i dont wanna go as indepth as u would in the BCom-Mktg degree.

In the generic Com degree, theres not as many core units meaning theres more free credit pts for electives.

 

[Orange Juice]

yeh that sounds alot better... can you gimme the page for bcomm in the red book plz? id rather a lower gpa anyday...

 

[Grizzly]

not sure if this applies... but sometimes there's a quota where even though you met GPA min. another student who got higher than you is accepted but you aren't because of the quota.

Eg transfering to LLB GPA equals 2.0 (easy no?) but has a quota...

 

[Orange Juice]

llb wtf is that?

has the commerce subjects got quotas? anyone know?
do alot of people transfer after the first semester?

 

[AcStyle*]

LLB = Law

As for a quota on transfers in2 Com, i dont think there is one. I read on the MQ discussion boards somewhere, that as long as u meet the requirements, u can transfer.

i'm looking to trasnfer as well...
but to b.appfin/b.ec...

you can use your credit points to count as electives in the degree you want to trasnfer. so, your comp115 isn't a waste.. and plus isn't a level 100 comp unit core in b. commerce??

here are the links for the courses you want:
b. commerce - mktg: http://handbook.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?code=FV001
and
b. commerce:
http://handbook.mq.edu.au/programofstudy.php?code=CW008

by the looks of it, b.com-mktg is much more structured than the generic b.commerce. but then again, on your transcript it will say B.COMMERCE MARKETING.. not just B.COMMERCE like the general degree!!

 

[Grizzly]

...yeah..why do they offer a general comm degree ...like, in trms of a career - what position in a company will b.comm give u without majoring in e.g accg/mktg/acst ?

e.g b.comm in usyd.

 

[jlh]

you know i never did understand why they offered the different types of commerce degrees...

it seems to me that macq uni isn't that flexible. at usyd under the b. commerce degree, you'd pick your majors/minors and then follow the core units to complete that major, so you can have any 2 combinations you want. unlike macq's degrees where they have pre-set programs of study...

i think in terms of career, it doesn't make a difference... i mean a b.comm- mktg does the same core units as a b. comm with majors in marketing.
