Thanks a lot for that! Would you be able to describe the process of how you gained the credit from UoM to Monash? Also, how 'strict' are they on their prerequisite grades. Since economics requires an average of A in methods 1/2 and economics 1/2, I've got the economics part covered, but my average for methods is considerably lower (C+).
And ooh one last question, did you not find the UMEP was too much work due to travelling and all, on top of all your VCE 3/4 subjects? Was it a manageable workload and what not?
You can ask the student services for your faculty (if you do Commerce, it'll be the Business/Economics faculty student services) for a credit transfer form. You'll fill out the form and attach a copy of your academic transcript, as well as the unit outline for your unit from the UoM handbook (you can actually hand in the form separately and email them your transcript/unit outline - that's what I did). From there, you'll just wait for the outcome
I'm not too sure about how strict they are on the requirements, but since your grade is somewhat lower than the minimum, I would suggest that you email them to find out more
I did UMEP maths, and it was convenient for me since there are a few school centres around the Melbourne that host UMEP maths, with my nearest school centre was a 5 minute walk from my own school
However, for economics, the only option is to take the unit on campus at Parkville. The lectures (2 x 1 hour a week for economics according to the UMEP page) won't be compulsory (you'll be able to watch the recordings online), but it's likely you'll have to come onto campus once a week for the 1 hour tutorial (not sure if they're compulsory). From my friends who did UMEP subjects on campus, I've heard that the program is quite flexible and accommodating for VCE students, and will help you find a tutorial that will suit your own timetable. You might even be able to schedule your classes for after school. I would argue that the workload is equivalent to a VCE subject, so it's important to assess whether or not you think you'll be able to cope.
