The Monash Jaffy (first year) Thread 2013

[slothpomba]

For those already studying at Monash, did the info sessions help with unit enrolments ? Or did you have to figure it out yourself?

For science, we got an idea of what requirements we need to meet (nothing you cant find in the handbook) and members of each department (chemistry, physics, astronomy, biology, etc) gave little pitches about their areas and why we should do their subjects.

Nothing all that great or important honestly. If you got nothing else on that day and can be bothered, certainly can't hurt going. I know it seems important now but in hindsight its not something i'd blow off anything important for.

Likewise, the science faculty (same with arts, commerce, etc) has an office, with a desk staffed with people 9-5 whose sole job it is to inform you about courses, requirements, if you're progressing in the right way, etc. You can always pop down and ask them or email them.

I was oversea during the info session and got my sister to go in place of me. When she got back from the info sesh, I got told off over the phone for over 30 mins because Monash wasted half of her day telling students everything that can be found on the internet.

Also, the enrollment session is a waste of time if you've already enrolled on WES and know how the units and stuff works.

Guessing thats the Rotunda, its a big round building, and then lecture thearte R4, so just keep walking around the circular walkway inside till you find R4.

You should be able to forward them all to your live account

Cog wheel -> Settings -> Forwarding and POP/IMAP

Thanks pi, is there also a way to make it appear in windows live so that i can send and receive from the actual account and not a forwarded account?
When i try to add the account to mail it has blank space in server adress (incoming server information) and server address (outgoing server information). Do you know what i need to fill in here?

Moderator action: removed real name, sorry for the inconvenience

Monash email uses Gmail right?

[SenriAkane]

I tried that
http://support.google.com/mail/bin/static.py?hl=en&page=ts.cs&ts=1668960&rd=2
keeps giving me the error 'login already in process' 'credentials cannot be verified - check username and password are correct'
I've tried everything i can think of but no luck

[WhoTookMyUsername]

after playing around for ages, it turns out the 'username' we have to put in to sync mail accounts is not abcd1 but [email protected]
If anyone was trying to sync with no success to windows live mail or apple mail that should fix it on all devices (after this follow the instructions on the link above)
However before that you do need to go to google mail settings in a browser -> forwarding / IMAP -> enable IMAP

On another note does anyone know if there are lockers in monash especially for storing clothes for sport/gym/riding and how much it costs and such

[WonderBunny]

There are lockers you can get, unfortunately I don't know any of the details.

Hahaha don't worry I was already so awks I didn't notice anyone else being awks
I went to it but was not impressed because there is no room for the subjects I wanna teach and no one could give me information on how to actually get those [after 6 months of asking and calling different departments and people] so i changed courses
