Title: Did anyone receive their offer letter yet?
Post by: Odette on January 16, 2008, 02:22:55 pm
Hey everyone, I was just wondering if you had received your offer letter yet, I haven't and I need mine to be able to enrol... I'm beginning to panic, I tried calling the university but this answering machine answers and says to leave your name and number or email them... I've done that but I'm not sure how long it will take for them to respond. What should I do??
Thanks

I received mine from Melbourne University today.

Don't panic- it will come. Enrolment at the universities isn't until next week anyway.  :)

Got mine yesterday lunch time, both Melbourne and Monash packages. The postie always comes @ lunch time...

Odette, stress less honey :) Unis all do it @ diff paces. They might do it alphabetically, or course by course, or u might live further out of mailing reach than other ppl.

prob the postman that was suppose to deliver your enrolment package got chased by a dog around a couple of blocks. just wait and it will soon come but if it doesn't :O just call them up on friday asking why you haven't received enrolment package and if they did happen to send it, to resend or if you need it asap they might be able to have a virtual copy and link it to you.

My friend (who also lives in Melbourne) is doing nursing at ACU and still hasn't received it yet either. Don't stress. ACU might be a little slower.

Why is it always me that this happens to, first vtac now the uni ... grr lol

Post by: Nick on January 16, 2008, 05:41:53 pm
Don't worry about it, seriously. ACU are probably just less prompt in sending out their enrolment packages. Given that you rang and got an answering machine, it seems to me like they are probably under-staffed. Therefore it means they will be struggling to get those packages out to people.

My enrollment package was in a really bad scrunchy condition when it came. There's  a few rips and tear -_-

I have no idea whether I've got mine yet or not
My parents are divorced, my mailing address is my dad's house but I'm at my mum's house at the moment. So I probably won't be able to check whether I got anything in the mail until tomorrow or Saturday.

My skool sent out our official VCE certificates 2 us in the mail. It rained.
Odette, did you end up getting anything besides an answering machine?

I haven't received a letter from ANU yet, but I think that's fairly normal. UAC offers don't come out until tonight anyway.

Odette, you should hear something by the end of the week. If not, maybe just keep calling numbers until you get someone. It's a bad time for people to be away though...

Did your course have an information session?
Title: Re: Did anyone receive their offer letter yet?
Post by: Daniel15 on January 26, 2008, 02:24:22 am
Yeah, well it was information session and enrolment on Tuesday. :)
Speaking of which, my login on their intranet and Allocate+ system seems to be working for me now :D

Mine isn't... any suggestions?
Title: Re: Did anyone receive their offer letter yet?

Make sure you're using the right password...
The password on Allocate+ is your birthdate in the form DD/MM/YYYY (with slashes and 4-digit year). The login on the intranet is your birthdate in the form DDMMYY (no slashes, 2-digit year). You'll get asked to change the intranet password as soon as you log in, but I don't think the Allocate+ one can be changed.

Allocate+: http://allocate.swin.edu.au/aplus/apstudent
Intranet: http://my.swinburne.edu.au/pls/portal
Webmail: http://webmail.swin.edu.au/

Yeah, I'm using the dd/mm/year format still saying 'Login Error'. I've emailed my faculty and Allocate+ but no reply (it is the weekend so I wasn't expecting one). I'll ring on Monday, hopefully someone will be there despite the public holiday and hopefully get some answers. It's so frustrating though!

Hmmm... interesting...
Does the Intranet and webmail work for you? Or is it all not working?

Yep, I can get into my mail and everything else ecept this freaking timetable thing!
