70+ Average for Comm. Scholars

[sin0001]

Starting the Comm. Scholars Program this year and was wondering if the 70+ average requirement applies to all our units, including electives? Or just the Commerce units

It'd be all your units

(Don't worry, a 70+ average isn't overly difficult to maintain)

Thanks mate.
Also, is it generally beneficial to buy the 'prescribed'/'recommended' books?

It really depends on the unit and the textbook (and to what extent that text is used through the semester). Often it's a good idea to get ahold of the prescribed text in some capacity, be it bought, downloaded or borrowed from the library. The general consensus is to give buying the recommended texts a miss, but there's no reason not to borrow them if you want some extra reading about a subject!
