Re: MQ General chatter and timetables thread (+ Conception Day!)

It depends. I know that some people are able to, and some people aren't. However this is, afaik, the best way to do it:

Ring up estudent and say that you want to add an extra unit, and fabricate some story which is good enough to convince them, but not so good that it means you'll have to get an academic to approve it. I said something along the lines of "I need to do this for my research next year in honours, I know I don't have to do it."

Incredibly late reply, but thanks. =p

I'm doing App fin and Accounting, so not too sure on the specifics, i'll just wait 'til I can ask an academic advisor.

Definitely see an academic advisor if you're wondering about your degree.

However, they do not generally know about adding extra units; I believe most will actually tell you "no, it's not possible", when in fact it is by the method I described.

Its worse in a double degree, the both claim that you need to talk to the other department. When I transfered neither could help me sort out my program so in the end I figured it out myself and the only way I know I satisfied the arts degree is that I was able to graduate!

When did you get the reply?
I'm guessing I'm one of the people that didn't get accepted... bad today for me didn't get a job and now this... sigh.

 

[-may-cat-]

I got mine today, maybe they do it over a couple of days? Even if not don't let it get to you, shit times balance themselves out eventually.

Yeah thanks, no I'm just slightly pissed that after going through 3 stages to get a job and wait for a week and the guy called in a 30 sec conversation that I didn't get the job. =/

 

[-may-cat-]

I know the feeling, i'm waiting on a call for a job i really need atm after going through 2 interviews, it will suck so hard if i don't get it.
