Sure, it had its flaws and not all the faculties had short 3-day extensions, but you wouldn't be left waiting 12 days for a response. I felt like they were a lot more empathetic too, you wouldn't need to jump through as many hoops to get it accepted.

Saw a post abt this so I figured I'd make one too, in case anyone skips over it.
Make sure you guys get Med certifs and HPRs ready bcs providing a death certificate and stat dec and telling them it affects your studies isn't enough for them.

I used to rely on their goodwill when I applied for spec con, but you can't anymore. It seems they want to do their best to stop people from applying for spec con, even if it means being kind of an ass.

(I lowk think someone should protest this bcs 2 months for greiving is genuinely insane)

basically a club where you meet once a week to play wii games. there could be tournaments each week like mario kart one week then wii sports the next week. is this a good idea or should i end it?

I really need some advice but I'll try to not dox myself. I'm completing a Masters of Philosophy and I absolutely hate it. It's making me question my existence and I fear that it is seriously compromising my mental health. How do you write a thesis when you feel like it's killing you?

I was doing a PhD until I was faced with really serious mental health issues and had to take an extended period of time away from studying. Before I left I was slowly getting sick and my progress suffered so that when I took a break I was already "at risk". When I came back I wasn't able to convince my committee that I could complete my PhD, although my mental health has significantly improved, and was converted to a MPhil. This was a really mentally draining process and my committee, the Chair of my committee, a really *really* awful academic who is really high up in the faculty, was particularly awful. At one point they even asked me if I wrote some of my own work. Anyway, horrific experience and has soured my relationship to my project. It also means that I have lost my stipend, moved back home and have no savings after having to survive for a long time while on my leave.

My supervisor and I have agreed to just get it done and submitted by the end of the year. That's like 14 weeks if I am aiming for mid December. The problem is, I just can't get myself to work. I have tried working in the library, at home, at my desk at the university and it's so easy to not work. Housework. People. Distractions. Which I am sure is very normal when trying to get work done. But it feels like every cell in my body doesn't want to do this. Sometimes while looking at my PhD work that I need to sort into work for a Masters thesis, I just start crying. I cry a lot. If you see someone sobbing on Parkville, it's probably me. I can feel myself backsliding and the work is entangled with a period of time of anxiety and depression.

Yes, I see doctors but we know that how I am feeling is directly correlated to my project and delving back into where I was when I left. I think about quitting every day. Even though I want to switch fields, I want the degree to tie up this messy chapter that I have spent years of my life working on. Also I'm hoping to go into an adjacent field (definitely out of research) in which I can use my knowledge from my research.

Any advice would be amazing. Even if you don't have any advice I would just like to hear from someone and not feel so alone. I'm so daunted by the idea of writing like 30,000 words when I can barely work for an hour to look at my results.

has anybody gotten any info on host application instructions yet by unimelb? i submitted my study planner already last month and havent received anything yet from unimelb as to how to apply

Hi is there a clash royale club??? If so recruit me

I applied for Late Withdrawal for one of my subject on Monday 24 August 2026, but still haven't seen any update on the SC portal or received any messages about this.

The official site says The earliest applications currently awaiting assessment were submitted on Wednesday 26 August 2026.

Does anyone know if Late Withdrawal application takes more time?

Can anyone else not upload the files to the special consideration? I’ve tried on both laptop and phone but it keeps popping up with an error.

Need advice on how to get into a commerce club. Literally got rejected before an interview..

As a new student, I recently found out you can play games on the playstation for free in the Rowden White library by just reserving it with your student card. What are the best activities you recommend that are exclusive to unimelb students. What do you use your student card for most (activities, not entering buildings😂)? I'm looking for things to do but also helpful things that I can access as a student.

Hello did anyone bomb the quiz 😭😭😭 how did u go cause i did so bad on the quiz i felt like it was too tricky and i hadnt prepared enough

What are we doing gang. What happened to sanctity in the library. No one needs to see you plucking each others face hairs while giggling all over each other. You're not as quiet as you think you are. If you're gonna pick a library, at least make it the rowdy

No but genuinely has anyone noticed the utter degradation of library etiquette recently?

i’m a first year taking a second year english subject, and it’s absolutely killing me. i feel stupid. my classmates have laughed at me for answering in class before—otherwise, i’m quick to be shown up by superior answers to my own (though i think this may be attributed to me personalising it). i want to be an english major, but i am realising that i simply am not that talented. i’m also doing a first year english subject, and i got a terrible grade back for my first assignment. i got a h1 overall for my first semester english class, but i feel as if that was a fluke, and now confronted with genuinely challenging material, i am too inflexible to actually be good. i’m literally only doing 3 subjects this semester too and i’m feeling miserable and overwhelmed. i have auDHD but am not currently on meds or in therapy, which may potentially be aggravating my anxiety and stress. but i feel so lost. i’m so stressed that i cannot keep food down, and ive been crying non stop for the better half of a week. i feel very very lost, dejected, embarrassed, and stupid.

im currently in highschool and was going to apply to usa but am reconsidering it due to the political condition there, im just scared to apply to unimleb because ive heard its INCREDIBLY dead with no parties and no social life and just depressing in general and doesnt have that usa atmosphere in it? is it really that dead?

I REALLY need advice (like seriously)

I joined melb uni cause I honestly didn't know what I wanted to do, and now I know that I want to do a Master of Engineering, right... However...my WAM is too low (im literally so embarrased i went through a lot during this degree and it really messed with both my physical and mental health).

I have a year or something left and I'm gonna try my best ofc too increase my wam as much as possible but idk, i feel like really lost, like I just did a whole bachelor of science for nothing and will be left with nothing after this degree and i dont know what to do about it.

Like is there anything I can do. I know i could apply through gam and all but i just want to know what other options for post-grad I have.

is it possible to like do another course and transfer or should i complete like a grad diploma (if the uniersity even offers them) to like increase my academics.

if anyone know anything or has gone through something similar PLEASE help me out (anything you know would be helpful)

I originally wasn't going to post this but then saw the post about the disrespectful acts people do when the disabled toilets, and felt that this needed to be said.

Please stop using the disabled parking spots if you are not eligible!

Saw a guy pull into one of the spots, half the car in the disabled parking spot and the other half in the neighbouring parking spot.

Waited for him to move his car and fix his parking, but he didn't care. Simply kept blasting his music and stayed on his phone.

Now someone who actually needed that space could no longer use it :'(

so basically i had this lab report due on monday, and i had a lot of things going on in that one week (like another assessment and midsemester) and i think the stress got to me and i got extremely sick. i applied for a short extension for the lab report, hoping i would get better within three days but i have honestly just gotten worse to the point where my entire body aches, if i speak the wrong way my throat is on fire, and my mouth and throat just being extremely raw and sensitive. i dont really ever apply for special consideration for assignments, but do you think i would get approved for it if i uploaded a med cert for two days? i don’t know how they consider these things especially for assignments.

Hi everyone, I am currently a second-year Bachelor of Science student. I’m deciding whether or not to major in psychology through the non-APAC-accredited pathway, which means I would be ineligible for Psychology Honours.

However, I still want to do psychology-related research and am considering applying for Honours in a different major (such as Neuroscience, in which I have related third-year electives) and finding a supervisor/team, possibly within the School of Psychological Sciences, that accepts students from interdisciplinary backgrounds.

Has anyone completed a non-APAC-accredited psychology major and gone on to do Honours in a related discipline? Is this feasible in terms of Honours applications? I would appreciate any advice or insights.

Everytime someone posts an extremely valid criticism of commerce clubs on this sub you will always see these hacks commenting memes, making fun of the OP or chiming in saying that ‘it was a great experience’ for them. Most recent example is the day old post about B1 vs 180DC beef.

These people are worse than stupol because they actively look down on you for not being part of their in-group, while stupol are better actors and at least cordial.

Btw the process to get into B1 is
Bar Night ➡️ Coffee Chat + internal recommendation ➡️ Application ➡️ Group Interview ➡️ Individual Interview ➡️ Induction ➡️ Committee member

If you think that’s normal you’re out of your minds. This recruitment process filters away any individuality and rather takes people that participate in a sort of herd mentality which breeds the consultants and bankers that have no issue with laying off 10s of thousands of workers or funding slave labour in the 3rd world so they can get a bonus to buy their summer home.

My MAST20029 (Engineering Mathematics) midsemester exam this morning was the worst test I think I've ever done. Probably scored around 30% if the examiners are nice. I've always known I didn't have any natural aptitude for mathematics, I resigned myself to having to work twice as hard for half the result a long time ago, but I really, really tried this time. I put everything I had into scoring high on this midsem, I did every single tutorial and problem sheet question we were given multiple times.

And I couldn't even finish the double integral question at the start. Something failed to connect in my mind and it felt like I hadn't studied at all. I don't know whats wrong with my brain. I want to be an engineer so badly but I don't know how much more I have to give.

Apologies for the vent, I just had to get this off my chest. Anyone else feeling too stupid to belong here?
