Here are most of the UAC offers for 2011, as released in the Daily Telegraph, available for download.
I haven't written an online search page for this as yet, but I might work on that a bit later.

Hi BOSers,
I'm planning to go to ANU next year and do a combined Arts/Science degree. I'm looking over my options for courses for next year, and for the Science major I want to do (Computer Science) I have to do one of the first year maths courses - MATH1005 (Discrete Mathematical Models)...

Question 11 - someone in my class said that the arrow is rotating the wrong way, and my teacher agrees. He's made a formal complaint through the presiding officer to the Board.

I haven't had a chance to read the legislation myself yet, but I'm hoping that it'll be a bit more of a 'Right to Information', like...
