[peace1993]

How r u doing guys , thanks to come in and help .

I am a 1st year international student studying B.liberal arts & science . I got ATAR 84 but I still don't know why I was rejected from the B.Science /Arts ,uni told me it's too late to re-enroll and advice me to transfer in mid-term . But I have to study overload credit point so as to follow pattern of B.Science/Arts , but I started to be very lazy and unmotivated since then ,

I was not up to the course and unmotivated to study , I skipped most of the lectures until last week , and my situation become worst
1 . my biology report was 20% cut off due to late submit ( the report occupies 15% in total )
2 . psychology essay was the same 20 % cut off due to late submit .
3 . First quiz of Math1001 (6 out of 15 , directly 6% in the total mark of the unit , that means i have lost 9% in total ), first quiz of Math 1002 (2 out of 15 , that means I have lost 13 % in total ), there are still the last quiz in the next 2 weeks for both units ,also occupy 15 % in total for each .

Last month to save myself in such a disadvantage , I have woke up and determined to study as hard as I can . Can I still make all credit or pass under this situation ?? I worry about it very much , I am afraid of being dropped out of the school .

Next month would be my Sem 1 Final exam , can I still get back to track ?

I would to have anyone advice me , thousands thanks to you !

p.s Unit of Study I am having: Math1001 ,1002 / Econ 1001 / Psyc 1001 / BIOL1003

It's very difficult to say considering you haven't been trying recently.

You have to realise that at USYD, we have a strict % of people who can get a HD, D or C. The units you are doing have a high enrolment rate and lends itself to being very competitive as they act as feeder units into the different majors.

If I had to say, I would be inclined to think that you won't be able to get a credit unless you ace all your final exams.

Don't worry about credits, just aim for the pass's now given when you are currently at. You can still theoretically get a Credit or better though.

That's the best attitude to take I suppose. Don't screw up Semester 2 though.

 

[peace1993]

any other advice ?? like is it still a chance to transfer to B.sc/BA with pass average

 

[soloooooo]

Check on the USYD website. There is often a minimum WAM/GPA required to transfer.

I am dead sure I wont be stupid like this again , this gonna be one of my stupidest thing i hv done so far in my life .. thanks anyway !

Even if you do screw up massively it is not the end of the world. Life is all about the journey and learning experiences.

yes minimum WAM/GPA seems familiar to me , but I remember it said B.sc/BA has no such a reference since 2006 ..

can't agree more ..
btw , if I really messed up like failing 2 units of subject , will I be kicked out ?

 

[soloooooo]

No.

If you fail an individual subject 3 times (i.e. Math1001 etc) you will then be excluded for a year or so typically. Also if you fail 50% or more of your courses two semesters in a row you may also be excluded (i.e. failing two or more subjects this semester and then also failing 2 or more subjects next semester also).

Given it is your first semester, even if you failed all 4 subjects you wouldn't be kicked out (or not yet anyway) and would be allowed to continue for Semester 2.

wow I won't fail that much .. by the way thanks for your information ,it's really helpful .
last question , how about the WAM / GPA for Bsc/BA ? there is no figure for the course

I would assume you take the higher of the two WAMs for the individual courses.
