not sure bout the exemptions, dont think you can get exemptions for 8 subjects(depends on the subjects you took, you'd have to check with them since its a case by case basis thing). Friend of mine who did diploma only got exemptions for two subject, lol.

Pros and cons, imo, as long as its a Monash degree, and you have decent results, shouldnt be a problem getting a job, or so i hear.

If you want flexibility, go with biz and comm(lots of majors to choose from), if you want to focus on accounting and want to study it in depth, with a lot theories and case studies in a smaller class(hence more attention i suppose? not always a good thing though ) go for b.comm(accounting). Also, it would be easier to transfer to caulfield/clayton with b.comm(accounting) than with bbuss comm.

ps: lol, monash took a full page ad on Lowyat, anybody else seeing it? the girl looks familiar...

hahaha even more excited to start uni now eih

PS: good luck to anybody else taking FM or any other summmer sem papers in 7 hours time

Try and email this guy:

eng.cheong.meng@monash.edu
with your Full Name, Monash ID, School, Gender, Mobile Phone no., which year and semester he/she is in as of Feb 2012 and Monash student email address).


Nothing wrong with trying your luck, registration closed some time ago and they're having the buddy training this friday so email him asap.

Yeah

lol just claim it first lor, can buy the books later.. avoid the long queues during the first week

doesn't each school have their own talk? better go cos they let you know the subjects you should be doing for your first sem(if you don't know already).

lol, then no need lor since you know what subject to do, they'll probably have another course info sesson during orientation.

Didn't go for mine anyway

yeah, its a hari sukan kinda thing, go if u dont know anyone in your course, rly sucks not knowing anyone in your course

any idea how many free parking spots are there gonna be left?

go for orientation, go for monopoly, go for orientation bash, join clubs, volunteer for stuff, join clubs, join the sub-coms(clubs/studnt council)

don't worry la, monash no lansi people

driving from singapore? at his hour @.@ damn thats gonna be a long ass drive, good luck

have a good orientation, and enjoy a lil before the work starts piling up(week 2 for eng students, week 6 for business, haha not sure bout arts.... hmm)

lol orientation, be prepared to get bored off your ass for a couple of hours on the second day(course info session....zzzz)

come monday by 8.30am at least as zstan said(registration starts at 8-9 am), registration booths would guide you on where to go.

your course info session/campus tour/authcate(important as ballz, don't miss)/id card would depend on your faculty, they should give you a welcome pack when you register that briefs you on those stuff iinm.

ouh and go for monopoly on friday, seems quite interesting. Gonna be like a giant monopoly board game(diff faculties against each other) and you gotta do some tasks or some shit(some physical some mental). Should be fun

ps: prove them wrong how? be poor and nice lulz

orientation's tomorrow, lectures and tutes start officially the monday after next.

wait till you have 8 am classes

hope to see y'all tmrw... ahh won't know each other anyway..... glhf ^^

diuu.... found out only after i got home

any new business students here going for the course info sess tmrw? campus tour taim!! /

working alright now, gogogogogo

by 9 according to my chief buddy, but in the booklet its 10. just be there at 9 to be safe, sleep in the library if it turns out to be 10

dont think you need your laptops, can just use the comps in the library after, either that or they're gonna take you to the comp labs not too sure bout that, today was a mess thanks to the system messing up ><"

So yeah, just bring your laptop in case, if anything, it's a distraction if the briefing is boring like the learning skill guys talk today...

depends on your subject, your unit guide on blackboard should list the relevant text books. But I reckon you shoulnt buy em yet, heard they were changing the books for some subject, so better wait for your lecturers. Unless you're pretty sure and spot some good deal on the noticeboards

though I reckon you shouldn't waste too
mcuh money on textbooks, some
like accountig you definitely need, but you'd probably ony use marketing and management for assignments, might as well get em from the library.

Microecons textbook would e helpful if you're the study type, textbook explains a lot, but then again, library has a ton of old copies(old version, but pretty much same content)

1. Get your authcate account at https://mdsadmin-new.monash.edu.au/cgi-bin/register
REMEMBER ALL YOUR PASSWORDS

2. use your newly made log in id to log in wes https://my.monash.edu.au/wes/

3. complete the enrollment questionnaire, emergency contact details and mailing name format. (Its under the enrol/re-enrol option, top left box, first option)
TAKE DOWN YOUR TRANSACTION NUMBER FOR THE ENROLLMENT QUESTIONNAIRE. you're gonna need it to get your student id.

4. complete your unit enrollment, if you're unsure about your subject, just choose 4 of the 6 core units and go to the course management office to confirm with them.
ps: business and econ stats if you're planning to go to australia, and if you're not you can choose either business and econ stats(slightly harder apparetly) or business stats(easier)

5. Head over to student services(building 2, level 2), complete the questionnaire(its at one of the counters just ask them) to get your student id(they'll take your photo id as well)

Welcome to monash, hope this helps


ouh, once you're done the unit enrollment you can start setting your timetable.

happened to quite a few people for a variety of subjects, doesn't matter just attend the lecture if it remains that way. ouh try changing it to show grid type instead of table type, see if it shows up there.

but daymn, first sem edi take money caps. semangatness XD

hey, anybody have any idea where i can get a photocopy of the subject syllabus/ course outline/ teaching planner certified and
endorsed by an authorized officer in your former college/ university for the LAN sujects?

do i just get it from taylors where i did LAN(ages ago, nfi if the syallbus changed or if it makes a difference at all ) or is it somewhere online and i just gotta get it signed by the admin at taylors?

Thanks in advance.
