Uni ID's and societies (1 Viewer)

[Shaybay92]

Just 2 questions.... if we are already students at ANU do we just get a reprint of a new ID or do we have to get new photos taken etc? Where can we get this done?

Also, if we were part of societies in '10 do we have to rejoin/pay membership again this year? (I would assume so, but no one really made it clear..)

you have to go to the students Administation building (next to melville). Basically, they have the right to charge you for "lost" ids. they take a photo there too. o-week is a bitch to get IDs btw.

Can I just rock up before O Week and get my card done - before I even enrol?

They do revalidations in Manning Clark during the first few weeks. You don't get a new card if you revalidate, just new stickers to change the expiry dates.

The only thing that i've ever known to be 'lifetime" is coop bookstore membership. Btw borrow your friends card, dont bother joining up.

The Book Depository. Enough said.

I'm fairly sure you can't. It would stuff their enrolment procedures up somewhat.

So SL, whats the go? are you transferring or something from another uni?

Transfering from UWA as my sig implies - i'll just wait status doesn't take that long to xfer

this applied to current students only

AWESOME. I've wondered when we'd finally upgrade to RFIDs like everyone else...

 

[ajdlinux]

Which invariably they won't. IIRC Laurus Wing has magstripe cards but they haven't linked it with the ANU Security system yet?

yeah - no enrollment = no id number = they can't print the id on the card.

We've got id numbers already. SL, maybe you could try & enrol with the internationals on the week before oweek (next week - already? gosh!)...?

Nah mate I went into centrelink and they gave me a consession bus pass so I don't care - I'm just fookn bored now

you could always do the touristy things....


- war memorial
- questacon
- art gallery
- national archives
- film and sound archives
- if youve got a car - tidbinbilla nature reserve.

tidbinbilla tracking station was pretty fail last time i was there.

If you havent already done so, get proof of residency and then transfer you drivers license over here. If you've had Ps for 6 months - you can do a "p-off" course (5hrs) and you dont need to have p plates any more. Also - no speed restrictions on Ps in ACT (for act license holders). Oh and rego is cheaper.

Haven't bothered getting my lisence.
Haven't got a residency.
Sposed to wait for my gf to come over (few weeks) to do the touristy shit - might go for a hike later.

still do the test though, see me previous post - i edited it.

Thanks for that - still I'm not going to buy a car while I'm here (2 years.)

there we go

yeah, its worth getting it - even if it sits in your drawer for 2 years. After 2 years, you'remost of the way of getting your full license. = lower insurance

thanks i'l have a look at that - might just get auto even though i can drive manual alright haha

Definitely worth going for your licence, although Ls are quite pricey in Canberra as you have to attend the two-day Road Ready course ($155) + the licence itself ($45.50).

I don't have a car and don't plan on getting one, but I'm still going for my Ps this year.
