    general UNSW chit-chat

    Yeah, really not there anymore. Was making a loss so voluntary ARC couldn't afford to run it. Uni took it off their hands and said they'd open one up after the blockhouse referbishment. Looks like yet another winning move from UNSW, serving the students. No where on campus does it anymore.

    PHYS1131 labs

    Can you upgrade into Advanced Science from Science?

    Advanced science has a higher UAI cutoff, so transferring has to go though UAC and will depend on any university marks you achieve. However, I think all of the study plans offered in advanced science can be just about followed course for course to satisfy the requirements of a science degree...

    Students fees

I had that option ticked when I enrolled, but it was I'm not sure what I need to do to make the partial...

    Subjects that counted?

    http://www.uac.edu.au/pubs/pdf/2004-Table-A3.pdf That should help you work it out. That table showed me my Extension 2 Maths mark of 72 means I'm in the bottom 25% of students in the subject. But that mark will count rather than my 86 in Economics, where I was in the top 25%. Thats because...

    Big diff between Exam and Asess marks?
