first year engineering :)
I'll be there doing law/comm :)
First year arts, future Arts/Law hopeful.
Sci/ Eng jaffy here....
Be afraid.
Yep. I'll be there. Remember kids, if you see me, don't talk to me and save us both an awkward time.You'll be able to pick Brencookie as being the loud white guy in the middle of the room :P
Just kidding, come say go and have a chat :)
Just kidding again.
You'll be able to pick Brencookie as being the loud white guy in the middle of the room :PThis is so not true!!! I always sit with my back as close to as many walls as possible hahaha.
Monash Clayton Campus LOL ;)
b-but I still get to skip the whole jaffy thing, right?
I've used your libraries more than most second years.
First year biomed!
Now to work out how to use WES :)
Will you undertake in Australia any units of study contributing to the course of study of which the unit forms a part ? <--- what does this mean. Is this even English?
EDIT: Lol, I answered yes but damn this question is like o_O. Someone enrol for me, this is taking too long.
Hahah! I struggled with those aswell! Some of these questions are just so badly worded :P
First year biomed!
Now to work out how to use WES :)
First year Biomed/Law!
We might have some classes together :)
I had to google the entire sentence to help me find out what it meant haha. Why can't they just say things in a simple way, come on, why make it harder for me to enrol?
Yeah, that question really could've been worded better
Now I just gotta figure out what units I have to take
I'm looking at an Astrophysics major, if that helps
Righto, I would suggest you make your first year units something like this:
-Snip-
Hope this helps! (You can probably find some reviews of these in the Monash University - Subject Reviews & Ratings thread)
Super high school sort of question, but is there some kind of course advisor/counsellor type figure we can speak to about unit selection?
Thanks, that helps a lot. I'm guessing there aren't any absolutely required units for BSc regardless of major, then?
You're welcome! Nope, the only absolutely required units that BSc students need to take (with some exceptions, I think) are STA1010: Statistical Methods for Science and SCI2010: Scientific Practice and Communication. You can take STA1010 whenever, and SCI2010 after first year.
(b.) at least one level-one mathematics or statistics unit from:
MTH1020 Analysis of change
MTH1030 Techniques for modelling
SCI1020 Introduction to statistical reasoning
STA1010 Statistical methods for scienceIs anyone able to enrol into units yet?You're correct, I did the HECs section and enrolling in units is available to me now.
I haven't filled out the HECS Help section yet, but am predicting you're able to enrol into units + use Allocate once you get past the HECS section? Or is that incorrect and you're meant to pick units later?
You're correct, I did the HECs section and enrolling in units is available to me now.Do you have to do this section? Or is it not final, just indicative?
Just having a quick look at the BSc Handbook, it saysYeah if you're doing those other maths units you won't need the boring stats unit. The whole idea is to get students to do at least one maths/stats unit if they don't plan on involving maths in their degree, and STA1010 is normally the one that most do. But in your case you'll be able to go without it :)Code: [Select](b.) at least one level-one mathematics or statistics unit from:

If I'm taking MTH1020/1030, I shouldn't need SCI1020/STA1010 then, right?
Did anybody read all 27 pages of that HECS-HELP document?Do you have to do this section? Or is it not final, just indicative?

Bachelor of Economics Advanced with Honours here! :D
Should I bother doing MTH1020, or go straight to MTH1030?
Monash seems to have multiple different prerequisites for MTH1030, with those being:
1) MTH1020
2)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4
3)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with at least a B average in the exams
4)Completed VCE Specialist Maths 3/4 with a study score of at least 30
I did Specialist Maths in VCE with only a S/S of 32 (and 37 for Methods), with a B+ in Exam 1 and a C+ in Exam 2. Any opinions? I just hope I won't struggle in MTH1030, especially if there is Linear Algebra (hardly did anything with matrices in Methods apart from Probability and Transformations of Functions).
Sorry to hijack this thread, but am I able to take MTH1035 instead of MTH1030? My course requires MTH1020 or MTH1030, but given that MTH1035 is just an extension of MTH1030 can that count as the unit?
Stupid, stupid question, but how on earth does enrolment work? Do we turn up on Wednesday? What do we need?
I've been looking for the past hour now, and still can't decide on 2 electives
I've been looking for the past hour now, and still can't decide on 2 electives
I thought you just followed the prompts online, and then rock up to Monash when they tell you to...
I think you need the vtac offer letter, some stuff printed out from wes and photo ID? (I think there's something else too)
Wednesday? Everyone's on a different day right? Cos I'm on the 29th...
Sorry, this may sound like a stupid question but can you still enrol in subjects online if you haven't got a tax file number? I applied for one today and am up to step 3 (on WES I can't move past the HECS loan section and onto the enrol in your units section). Should I leave it until course enrollment day which is on the 29th for me?
And also, has anyone received an offer letter from monash yet? Will this come in the mail soon or should it have arrived already?
Thanks
and the 29th is the actual enrolment day for everyone where you pick up your ID card and confirm your unit selection.
My enrolment day is the 28th, and a mate says his letter showed the 30th for enrolment
Bachelor of Economics Advanced with Honours here! :DYou should be absolutely fine if you work your way throughout the semester. Linear algebra is just introductory. You'll be solving equations, taking determinants and inverses and doing transformations with matrices. Equations are straight forward but the determinant is a headache..I mean it's very tedious

There's 2 sessions for each faculty I think. Coming Wednesday (22nd) is the Course Information day where they help with unit selection and all, and the 29th is the actual enrolment day for everyone where you pick up your ID card and confirm your unit selection. Although the course information day may or may not be the same for each faculty.
I'm looking at an Astrophysics major, if that helpsIf you're good at maths, don't bother with asp1022 in semester 2. Instead go ahead and take asp2062 because that's what I did.
Question for any law double degree students, particularly Com/Law.
In your offer letter thingo from VTAC did they only mention one date (i.e. 29/1/14) for you to attend for enrolment or were there other dates? I only have one but I just feel like there's other course info days as well that I'm unaware of. Anyone??

YUP.Hahahha ok cool I thought I was missing something! :\
I only have one date too.
EDIT: not a fruit/outing with a guy ;)
OH, also: is anyone else playing around with MUTTS? I'm so confused!

Have you all had a read of Allocate+ / MUTTS Guide --- Please read before posting ? Some of my first posts on AN were me panicking about MUTTS/Allocate+ haha
Out of curiosity, who has their course advice day this Wednesday, and their enrollment on the 29th?
i do, but im a bit confused. im doing science/law, and the offer letter says that the Bsc info session is on the 22nd, while the law double degree info session is on the 29th. so technically, you cant really do unit enrolment till the 29th. but here is the problem. enrolment ends by the 29th. so does that mean i have to decide on units before doing to the law info session? lolwut? can someone confirm

So I think you only go to the info session run by your managing faculty (Law, right?). I don't think you have too much of a problem because I think your Law units are set for first year, and the only choices you need to make are for the BSc units.
If you like, I can help you pick some units for that! The fundamental question is, as always, what are you interested in? :)
Enrolment just involves confirming your place in the course, that you have accepted your offer and getting your id card.
Units can be consistently changed until like the 2nd week of semester. If you are unsure about your units yet you can leave it for now but just make sure you do everything else.
I'm having a bit of a look through Allocate+, and clicking the ASP1010 Workshop link says the subject is switched off. Any ideas when it might be turned on?
i'm just wondering is there any science based electives because i really cant find any?
Allocate+ is the actual timetabling system, and I don't think timetabling is open for Jaffys yet! You may need to wait until after enrolments are all done. In the meantime, you can use MUTTS to work up a mock timetable that you can mostly translate to Allocate+ when it opens :)

I'm able to put preferences in for all of my other Semester 1 units, so I'm assuming it's open
Had a bit of a look around in MUTTS, made a timetable that I thought looked good, only to find upon opening Allocate+ that I completely misunderstood how it works, I had units from different streams selected in MUTTS
i'm just wondering is there any science based electives because i really cant find any?Asp1010 and 1022 are good filler
I'm a tad confused about MUTTS... if someone could confirm, for these lectures:
LAW1101_CL_S1_DAY/Lecture/02-P1
LAW1101_CL_S1_DAY/Lecture/02-P2
Does the P1 and P2 mean that it's a two part lecture? So I'd have to enrol in both? ???
Thanks in advance!

No one knows what happens there and what magical lottery determines what year your ID expires. I'm doing a single degree, which I should have finished by this year, yet it expires in 2015. Hmmmmm maybe it is magic, not gonna finish my degree this year, HOW DID THEY KNOW??!
No one knows
Jaffys, please be as keen as possible. Firstly, it provides us cynical ex-jaffys with boundless entertainment and secondly it makes uni seem so much better :)
Am I allowed to do CHM1011 if I got above 37 in vce chem? It is legitimately impossible for me to fit in CHM1051 into my mix :/
sweet! and also, is it an okay idea to attend 2 lecture parts (P1 and P2) from different streams? It seems really hard to coordinate all my subjects via MUTTS if I don't do this.

so if I go with the chm1011 -> chm1022 pathway for first year, I can only minor in chemistry?
I'll be sticking around for the majority of first semester and maybe a bit of second semester before I head to the states. Will mostly be tutoring/researching. Come say hi on 10th floor, Menzies :D

AWKIES because your ID is scheduled to expire two years after you're scheduled to graduate :P
Technically you're not meant to attend lectures you're not enrolled in for capacity reasons. The lecture theater can only safely (and i guess legally with OH&S ?) hold a certain number of people. In first year biology, we had one of the biggest theaters on campus but there were heaps of people sitting near doors, on steps, in the aisles because people who weren't assigned to the better spot showed up to it. Lecture attendance usually dramatically drops off about half way through semester though.

Huh, I suppose I got away with it because my bio1011 and 1022 lectures were in South 1, so there were always plenty of free seats
Bit late...doing Pharmacy(Scholars) at Parkville :) :) :)
Mine in South 1 were more or less over capacity. There were a few seats that were easily accessible, some were like 5 deep in a row, with people on either end to get to it, so next to impossible.
It might have just been the times that year. I remember i got allocated into the really choice time, the other was a really shitty one. It actually got pretty damn bad, like, if there was a fire, people were blocking all the aisles and doors and stuff. They even threatened to check I.D's or timetables at the door, i dont know how they'd manage that but hey they said it.
Check out the song in my signature ('Pyschopharmacology'). In-fact, listen to all of amateur transplants stuff...
First year engineering as well! :D
like a few posters before, how am I able to do the unit enrolment if I have yet to complete the HECS part (as I am getting a tfn sooner/later) ? Or on the enrolment day, will they just allow me to open up the unit enrolment part and I can proceed on the day?This was a question that was asked at my course info session day and those facing this dilemma were told to choose the pay upfront button instead of what you would normally choose. But when you get your tfn you just have to change it from pay upfront to the other option. Also I think this has to be done before the census date otherwise you might incur some additional charges.
MAE3404 - Flight Vehicle Dynamics
MEC3451 - Fluid Mechanics II
Here I come!

Wait, there is a second Fluid Dynamics subject?There's only one in Science, but there's two in Engineering. The Engineering ones go in more depth into applications of it and such, the Science one focuses more on the mathematics of the situation given.
Wait, there is a second Fluid Dynamics subject?
Mildly off-topic but do you realise how exciting it is to have another person doing biomed here? I can, like, give advice and shit!

Speaking of paying upfront, wanted to ask something off that, when do we pay the $500? Is this on enrolment day?

Artception.Monash STEM students have been the majority for too long.
^ Can confirm that Bentham has been dropped from the reader, meaning I wasted a good three hours of my summer break reading Anarchical Fallacies, thinking I'd be super prepped for HRT.Oh wow. So did my sister then. LOL. That's disappointing though. I thought Bentham was a good part of the course, as brutal as it was. Oh well you're probably put at an advantage anyway for having honed your Arts skills, if only a tiny bit!
Yes, we do have a few caufielders around here! Monash publishes student number statistics, might want to get a hold of those, i haven't personally noticed a *huge* increase at clayton, at the times i'm there.
Try taking the Caulfield-Clayton shuttle bus at 5pm to Caulfield (please don't, lol, you'd only make the problem worse), only then can you comprehend the magnitude of the massive student influx.
Every time I see the Caufield-Clayton shuttle bus, it's packed to the brim. I should stay back at 5pm one day and see how crowded it is, haha
