    Commonwealth Equity Scholarship and Start Up, do I get both?

    I found out from the university that mine is called a Commonwealth Accommodation Scholarship (though they've never referred to it as that before). Checking the website, this excludes me from the Relocation scholarship, but I haven't been able to get a confirmation from centrelink that I am...

    Commonwealth Equity Scholarship and Start Up, do I get both?

    I am currently on a CES and although common sense would dictate that I do not get one of the new Start Up scholarships implemented to replace them, I can't find anything on the centrelink web page confirming this (the only pre existing scholarship they mention is the Commonwealth Education Costs...

    HSTY1034 or HSTY1044?

    I rather liked Judith Keene, who organises it. But the other woman is bad.

    Has anyone done HSTY 2640 20th Century China? Or know about John Wong?

    Has anyone done HSTY 2640 20th Century China Or know about John Wong? I've enrolled in this course and the subject matter looks interesting, but I'm not getting the best impression of the lecturer from the emails he has sent us so far. Does anyone know how he is as a lecturer?

    Second year student on YA, does the 2009 budget provide me with additional money?

    I thought only the relocation scholarship did, this is what I was trying to get clarification on.

    Second year student on YA, does the 2009 budget provide me with additional money?

    I am currently a second year student receiving youth allowance as a result of parental income, I am classified as a regional student because I moved from Katoomba to Sydney to study and currently get a Commonwealth Equity Scholarship of $4200 or so a year. I am aware that I wouldn't get the...

    Switching degrees mid year

    I am currently in my second year of a BA: Socio-Legal studies and am horrified enough about the prospect of two core subjects (sociological theory, I hate it!) within this degree to consider switching to something else. Is it possible to switch mid year from a BA:SLSS to a plain BA with a...

    Another vote for Jeff Tatum I'll also add Richard Waterhouse, changed me from a professed hater of Australian history to being fairly interested. Clare Corbould, great American history lecturer Michael McDonnell same as above

    Can one choose which major a course counts for when they overlap?

    I am currently doing a BA: Socio Legal Studies, and next year they are offering to count HSTY2671 Law and Order in Modern America as a part of the course. I am however already planning to make my second major History and would not want this course to count toward one of my already limited...

    Nice, hopefully exam free subject for second semester first year Arts student?

    I am doing a BA: Socio Legal Studies and have three spare subjects next semester to play around with. Currently I have history selected for all three (one ancient and two modern), but I'm not too keen on one of the histories. Anyone know of an enjoyable subject to fill this gap? I do not like...

    Union Board Elections 2008

    Can I just say, I am really, really dissapointed that Patrick Bateman didn't run on an American Psycho themed platform, I don't care about student politics at all and people trying to force fliers on me was really annoying, but I would have voted if he had've done that.

    Referencing a primary source using the Harvard System?

    Referencing a primary source using the Chicago System? I can't find any information on how to reference a primary source that isn't published in an edited book and I'm going mad trying to figure it out. The source is a letter declassified by the Department of Defense Papers from GK Thompson to...

    I think UAC screwed up my equity scholarship application

    Yeah, there's not much they can do though, they can't really force USYD to give me a scholarship (the uni has the final say on the scholarships), and there are only a limited number to give out so it's impossible for me to be considered for the larger pool of main round ones.

    I think UAC screwed up my equity scholarship application

    I got through to UAC and they told me it didn't go off properly, but that they will put me in for a late round scholarship, I wonder how many of those they give out

    Handwriting

    I didn't make the original post, and yeah I get your point. I just wanted to clear up a misconception that everyone, or even most people, who apply for this are bludgers.
