QUESTION: If i do a double degree (econ/arts) and I decide I want to drop one degree, say the arts degree, am I allowed to do so and just do a pure econ degree?

And what disadvantages will there be if I do that?

Another question: I found this link on the anu site
http://studyat.anu.edu.au/courses/ECON1100;details.html

ANU said:
Economics 1 (H) includes the same syllabus as Macroeconomics 1, with two additional hours per week in which the theoretical treatment of microeconomic behaviour presented in Microeconomics 1 is supplemented and applied to a range of topics (for example, the application of economics to the understanding of political, legal and social institutions and decision making). The course is designed for better performing students who want to extend their exposure to economics beyond that offered in the standard first year courses in microeconomics and macroeconomics.
Are there restrictions to this course?
Because it's offered in the first year, what do they base their selection on?

Also, can someone give me more info on the honours stream..

EDIT: some courses have (P) and (H) after the course name.
http://www.ecocomm.anu.edu.au/courses/courselist.asp?school=ECO

can someone tell me what it means?

edit2: ok I think P means Pass and H means honours. So the (H) course is for students thinking of going through with hons in that course?

"The course is designed for better performing students" it's for smart cookies/people who REALLY like economics. Also chopping and changing from a duel degree isn't much of an issue as long as you do it early in the degree. If it panned out like you stated, I don't think it'd matter that much and you could probably graduate in the 3 years with straight economics as you would have if you did it in the first place (I'm guessing here, just going by what the course descriptions tell me). Also, arts sucks do econ/finm. Can't help you with honours, just e-mail ANU directly. /poor structured reply.

but since it's a sem 1 subject, how do they know who the better performing students are? Do they base it on our UAI?

Gotta get to ANU first
If the cutoff stays at 75 I should be safe. If it goes up to 85 I should make it still...

But yeah, I'm not going to slack off, i'll do my best...

That's that hardest I've laughed in a long time. But yeah, just have a look during open day.
