UWS internal transfer (1 Viewer)

[melsc]

Hi guys,
I was told that you can transfer internally at UWS after 6 months rather than a full year, how does that work, do you have to take extra subjects or anything and does that mean you graduate in the middle of the year rather than the end?

Geez, your getting in a bit early, aren't you melsc, you have just under a year. You should be more worried about other things.

Anyway, you can transfer after one semester, you fill in a form and give it to the student centre. If you get a GPA of over 5.1 you are guaranteed a transfer.

You start your new course in second semester, and you may not need to do extra subjects, especially if you have already done the subjects.

Hey, yes you can transfer after one semester after you've studied 40 credit points. You would have had to have gotten:

* 3 credits + 1 distinction

or

* 2 distinctions + 1 credit + 1 passing grade

its not 6 months, but a minimum of 4 units to be completed with the required results!!!! than you are able to trasnfer.
and yes a gpa of greater than 5.1 will secrure that internal trasnfer. [oh thats been said]
also there are 2 types, GICTS and CHange of key program, so be careful when talking to the staff, they may confuse you.

I think you confused meslc more than anything

well i didnt intend to, just warning her of the staff and some policies that usually get confused...but basically if you're in a course and wish to trasnfer into a different course [different subjects, e.g. engineering and arts] than the guaranteed internal course trasnfer scheme is the way to go. if its like computer engineering and you want to trasnfer to electrical, than its the change of key program, another example is B Arts (history) and B Arts (whatever), your changing the major but still in the sam course i.e. b Arts.
if this still might be confusable [i made that word up] im sorry...

Mel, you just get anything over 5.0

A HD = 7, D = 6, C = 5, P = 4.

You'll do 4 subjects, and if your average grades = >5.0 u are in the win.
The way I'm sure you'll be so commited, I have no doubt you can get over 5.0 (tho please try in the HSC... It's not as hard as you might think).

> 5.0 for one semester isn't 'rare'.
