University Mid-year offers (1 Viewer)

i just found out the UAC number from last year is gone/deleted, does that mean we have to pay again to do transfers etc..??

Yes that's correct, you'll have to reapply with and be assigned a new UAC number.

And pay a nice transfer fee.

Yay uni marks! My marks now totally own my year 12 junk. Can't wait until next year when they don't matter any more...

hey if they really are only considering your UAI for mid-year transfer, does it matter how well (or bad) i go this semester?

So head to a newsagency and fork over the moolah for the book... and if it's your education future, shelling out a few bucks shouldn't be a big concern.

Not unless you do it too late and have to pay a whopping late transfer application fee.

I'm kinda confused with these transferring processes and all.

So basically to transfer, we simply apply to the UAC for a second semester offer using methods similar to last year when we were applying through the UAC for this semester? For example, I applied using Apply-By-Web.. and if I want to transfer.. all I have to do is just do that again? Cause in that pdf Ragerunner posted up.. the UAC guide doesn't seem to contain the word 'transfer' in it, giving me the impression that it seems like doing what it suggests in that pdf will result in you getting offered 'a fresh start in a new degree' and not a transfer, if that kinda makes sense. Again, like I said before, I'm sorta lost on these things.

I want to transfer from BSc to BSc (Nutrition), and if my transfer is successful, does that mean the credit points I obtained in sem 1 for BSc is automatically transferred to my 'new' degree? It should anyway, since all I did was add a major. If you're wondering why I won't just NOT transfer and simply major in nutrition in BSc, it's because I can't. Like BSc (advanced mathematics), you have to actually transfer to it because you can't major in it in the vanilla BSc degree.

Well its really mid-year entry. So in effect, you're just applying for a course in uni in the same way you applied in september when you made your first preferences.

Its not a transfer.. its entry so you start again fresh course.. but just like all courses, you're able to apply for credit for previously studied subjects.. just have to make the relevent forms made up depending on the uni etc..

Just remember.. only a very small number of courses are made available during mid year entry.. some uni's only offer 1 or no courses for mid year.

 

[Collin]

So if I wanted to 'transfer' then, instead of 'starting fresh', what process should I do? I was originally advised to transfer at the end of the year, because the subjects of BSc (nutrition) and BSc were practically the same in the first year. How would I go about 'transferring' at the end of the year? Is it a more inter-institutional process than say me going all the way back to the UAC again..

 

[Ragerunner]

If the courses you did in semester 1 are the same as the ones in which you are transferring to, then you do not need to repeat it when you transfer.

e.g. My situation. I currently do B Science. I initially wanted to do B Sc (Computer Science), however, I knew it might be too much for me to handle. As such, I picked the B Science, and completed all the pre-requisites for B Computer Science. As a result, I can transfer to it next year and continue onto second year as I have completed all the pre-requisites in the first year of B Science.

I wasn't too clear on your question, but that's what I thought you meant.
