I have a few questions :O
1. Is it worth joining the union?
2. Is it worth getting a locker? (and is there any place i can rent one, either temporary or yearly, other than the union and sports centre thing)
3. Can i get a The Age 2011 Tertiary Card without being a union member?
Thanks!
1. Yes it's definitely worth joining the union. We run a free bbq every tuesday, have a computing centre upstairs so you'll never have to wait to use them, will save you a over 50% on joining clubs & societies, often save you $20 or more on tickets to events, etc. I made my union membership fees back many times over the course of last year.
2. Talk to envi, the environments society. The old postgrad society, apple, used to have a ridiculous number of lockers in the architecture building, but they collapsed. Pretty sure they've handed control of the lockers over to envi, though. That's where I'd go if I wanted a locker.
3. No idea.
You can enrol and unenrol in subjects any time before the census date, which you can find on the website and is after lectures start. Just enrol in everything a week or two before uni starts at the latest and you'll be fine.
Gloam says census is 31 march, calendar says Semester 1 (12 teaching weeks) including: Monday 28 February - Sunday 29 May, maybe im reading it wrong
Also were can we pick up the SSS showbags??
Yeah the census date is during semester, so you can change subjects after uni starts if you find you don't like them.
We'll be in a few different locations tomorrow if you're after a showbag. You'll find us eventually. If you're struggling, just ask somebody with a bright orange plastic bag where they got it.
