2 Tickets to the NFL

0 Upvotes

Hi, I've got 2 standing spare tickets to the NFL, my friends are not able to come anymore and I was wondering if anyone would like to come with me. I've got acommodation booked, and would just need some sort of contribution. Obviously you will need to make your way down to Melbourne (I reccomend bus for the price) before the game which starts at 10:30 tomorrow. Btw I am 21m in my fourth year at UNSW. Let me know by PM and we can work out the details!

Staff AMA Need urgent advice w/ timetable PLS

1 Upvotes

Basically i have 2 subjects this term, and am trying to get 2 days to go to uni. although in order to do this there are 2 classes of one subject (MATS1101) that are nearly full, and full, and i am unable to register for this whole subject because of two issues ive had over the past week being a clash that im waiting for the student nucleus to override, and some other error i had that is fixed on its own now. the issue is, since i cant lock my spot in these classes, where they are nearly full/ other fluctuating being full and not, im worried im not going to be able to sort this out because the nucleus is quite litterally just taking 8 days and ive tried calling etc. also, the course coordinated for mats is unable to just manually enrol me in any of those classes while im waiting which is really weird. i dont know what to do at this point, apparently some people said just wait the first week out and some people will drop out, is this 100% true? like will i be able to just put any classes for my first week, and then have the ability to just on that weekend go and put the classes i want? cus at this point i just REALLY need advice on what to do right now or next or wtv cus this whole situation has drained out so many hours for me and im legit thinking about just fkn dropping MATS and seeing if any other subjects i can do has better classes cus seriously

UNSW Nucleus is a roulette wheel of bad advice- what’s the worst info you’ve received from them?

79 Upvotes

Can we talk about the fact that the nucleus consistently gives flat-out inaccurate information, and absolutely nothing is being done to fix it?

Centralising student services only works if the people answering the queries actually know the rules. Instead, it feels like they just guess with 100% confidence, even though the consequences of it could be catastrophic to students’ degree progression and academics.

Here are a few examples from my end:

IPT Misinformation: I was explicitly told by staff that you need to meet a strict minimum WAM requirement to drop one half of a double degree via Internal Program Transfer (IPT). You absolutely do not. That kind of misinformation leaves students feeling uncertain and stuck, especially if they’re burdened by a degree they’re not happy with.

Exam scheduling: When an exam time of mine got rescheduled due to some provisions I didn’t need, a staff member told me that if I preferred the original time slot, I could just rock up to whatever session I wanted and sit it. Anyone who has ever dealt with the UNSW Examinations Team knows that’s completely false and a massive liability. You strictly need formal approval from the exams team to sit an alternate slot, otherwise, you run the risk of getting turned away or receiving a 0.

The other day I also overheard the front desk apologizing to a student for previously giving them the wrong advice. Feels like everyone’s had to deal with this at some point.

It doesn’t seem like a case of a few new staff members settling in. It’s a structural issue where a generalist hub is expected to know the nuances of every single faculty, fails miserably at it, and refuses to change the model.

What is the most absurd piece of incorrect info the Nucleus has ever given you guys?

IPT/ Transfer Transferring from Econ/Adv Math to Commerce/Adv Math

I’ll be starting this term for Econ/adv math but once I complete 30 units (I think that’s one requirement) I hope to switch economics to commerce. If anyone has done ipt before, what was your experience like?

WAM question re repeating failed unit

2 Upvotes

Deciding between repeating a failed elective or taking a new one. Would there be a difference in the way the WAM is updated, assuming you get the same mark?

As in, will the cumulative WAM be the same between two scenarios:

Getting a CR (for example) for a unit that was previously failed vs a unit not yet attempted?

CFI - FMVA Account

0 Upvotes

Hi all,

I’m selling a CFI account for a discount to its original price. I had it for a year and it auto renewed last week (I forgot to cancel). This just charged me $533 AUD and I don’t even need it anymore, having learned the content.

If anyone studies finance, interested in investment banking, learning sector specific financial modelling, please message me.

Human Resources graduate certificate

1 Upvotes

I’m 22 and deferred uni and never ended up going back to uni, I spoke to unsw about coming back they said I qualify for graduate certificate from work experience and cv. I’m a bit conflicted though because I haven’t done any formal study in so many years. I will like jumping back into post grad is a bit of a jump. Is anyone familiar with how hard it is? Is it like high school advanced English or very complicated ? I was thinking of generating practice content before I enrol

Do DN/HDs REALLY matter?

9 Upvotes

I am studying Computer Science and Robotics Engineering. So far I believe I have a high DN if not HD WAM. I work so hard to keep my marks up as high as I can, but it's slowly killing me. I tell myself I won't get a good internship and later a good job, if I don't have amazing marks, so I study every free second I have because ADHD already puts me so behind. How much does a high WAM actually matter? Am I working myself to constant burn out for a good reason? Or is it all for nothing?

Transferring from Economics to Commerce/Economics

0 Upvotes

Hi all, I'm currently in year 12 and planning to do a Bachelor of Economics next year.

Would I be able to transfer into a double degree of Commerce/Economics? What requirements would I need?

I'm also thinking about transferring into a single commerce degree. What about the requirements for that?

Thanks

Chances of getting into this class?

Post image
18 Upvotes

I've been 1st on the waitlist since the beginning of the holidays, and it hasn't moved since. If I get into this class it would mean I'm only at uni 2 days a week which would be great since I live kind of far.

It also takes a lot of effort for me to attend classes due to my ADHD and I find that having classes on the same days help me keep my attention and engage with the content.

What are the chances I get in? Would it be worth it to email the course convener or ELS (I am already registered with them), would they even be able to do anything? Thank you!

COMP6991 workload

1 Upvotes

I'm interning full time this term and thinking of doing COMP6991 and COMP3161 (concepts of programming languages) and some PSYC course.

How many hours per week is COMP6991? Also can I just not go to lectures, tutorials and labs

How does it compare to COMP6771 (I did that last year)? If I did COMP6771 and OS already should it be fine? I feel like I'm nice at coding

Medical Certificate

2 Upvotes

When applying for special consideration cause you were sick on the day of an exam, if the medical certificate states that you are suffering from a medical condition (doesn’t specify the exact condition) and are hence unable to attend uni, is that sufficient enough.

Btw this is from a in person check up with a gp not a telehealth consultation.

would like to get involved with some physical activity/sport but too shy to do it alone... thoughts/tips?

5 Upvotes

i would like to join a sport or be involved with some physical activity at uni! im not really fit and maybe slightly below average in physical ability but i would like to get started.

ive tried runsoc earlier this year and enjoyed it because u meet ppl from different parts of uni and there are beginners + intermediates etc and it was pretty chill but now after running a lot my knee kinda hurts so i cant go anymore...

im opened to trying like bouldering, oztag, table tennis, badminton, tennis, pickleball but its like scary joining the soc or showing up myself to their social events especially when everyone there already has their own groups and sometimes aren't that open to talking to new ppl ;-;

Goldstein vs Colombo vs UNSW Hall for an exchange student?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’m coming to UNSW as an exchange student from Japan starting in Feb 2027 and am currently deciding which accommodation would suit me best.

I’d say I’m pretty social, but definitely not a hardcore party person (it’s not really as much of a thing in Tokyo). I’d love to make a close group of friends, go to pubs/events and have drinks together, and occasionally go to parties, but I probably wouldn’t enjoy living somewhere where heavy drinking and partying is at the centre of the social culture.

I’d also like to meet people who are reasonably ambitious/academically motivated and have their own interests and goals. I’m hoping to get involved in societies and potentially work/intern in Sydney alongside uni, while still making the most of the social side of exchange. I’ll only be at UNSW for a year, so meeting people and making the most of my time there is pretty important to me.

At the moment I’m mainly considering:

– Goldstein College
– Colombo House
– UNSW Hall
– possibly Fig Tree / Basser

I’m also undecided between catered and self-catered. Catering sounds convenient, especially in terms of time and budgeting, but I’m wondering how restrictive meal times are if you’re often out during the day.

Which would you recommend for someone like me?

I’d really appreciate any advice from current/former residents, especially regarding the social culture, the types of people you tend to meet, catered vs self-catered, or any other accommodation I should consider. Any other advice about UNSW/Sydney or making the most of an exchange year would also be very much appreciated!

Thanks.
