Transferring courses

[Alps]

Hi, would it be possible to transfer from BArts to BCom at Melb Uni? If so when can i do it, do i have to make up for lost time? Such as start BachelorofCom from the start? I havent done methods ._.

You can transfer either at the end of the year or midyear (but midyear is harder) and the application is through VTAC so you need to check the dates. You should be able to get some sort of credit transfer but I'd go and see a course advisor or someone who could tell you exactly what would count. The maths thing could be a problem though

Do as many commerce subjects as you can in your arts first year, as well as introduction to maths, as it covers the methods prerequisite to commerce - note that it's not a credited subject in commerce though.

Commerce takes a max of 37.5 points of level 1 breadth, so no more than 3 non-commerce subjects will be credited (assuming you only do level 1 subjects in 1st yr). You can circumvent this by doing level 2 subjects in second semester - you can't do level 2 subjects in first semester though.

Midyear transfer into commerce is quite competitive. I think midyear needs 75-80%+ average.
