Do you keep refreshing the board like I do dragon insteading of trying to study? lol.

All I know of is that the government ETSS rebate of 8% on subject textbooks ends on the 30th of June 2004. The rebate was supposed to cover the increased cost brought about by the GST.

the govenment got rid of price cuts for uni students, just forgot when it will be implemented.

I think most university bookshops are trying to get people to buy before that date..

the UNSW bookshop is pressing academics to release their textlists early, before 30 June so that students can take advantage of the subsidy before it expires.

?!?!? seriously??? our text lists won't be out by then i don't think, i hope they are. where did you find out about this?

Its written on the UTS co-op bookshop window that I walk past all the time.

Hmm my textlists are out I think, but I'm usually afraid of them being wrong, which is hasn't in the past, but I still wait until the first week of semester.

if i have time tomorrow i might go past co op, that sucks, 8% was quite a bit, and then the co op discount ontop of it

They come out 2 weeks before the next session dont they? Or is it 4 weeks? I dont think theyre out yet buddy, but i think each subject has listed which textbook you need.

I dunno 'bout you. I've got my textbook list already! I think I found out by doing a search at the computers in the unishop. (Or somewhere else??)

 

[iambored]
