Timetabling Sem 2 2013

[Starlight]

Hey guys,
Does anyone know how I can enroll 5 subjects in a semester? I've got 4 cores enrolled and can't seem to enroll a 5th one for a breadth as it says I can't have 62.5 credit points...
I know it should be possible because in my subject tutes last semester, some of the students were doing so. Any ideas?

Sounds like you want to "overload". You would have to get permission from your student centre in that case.

Thanks for the fast reply.
I should have given some context. In semester 1, I failed a core subject because I missed out on the obligatory classes twice... Yeah I really screwed up
Come results time and I get a fail. It was removed from my study plan so I thought I could make up for the missing credit this semester because it's my last year and I want to graduate.
Do you know if they would give permission in such a case? Do I need to book one of those online appointments, I've never been to the centre.

No probs, but is there a reason why you have to do 5 subjects? E.g. if you were doing a bsc couldn't you just swap your breadth for a science this sem or drop a science elective? It would just reduce the workload so much (and you wouldn't have to worry about persuading them to allow you to overload).

So if it's one of those subjects offered in both sem 1 and sem 2, you should be able to complete it for sem 2. Best to get in contact with the coordinator for the subject in that case (details of their email on the handbook etc.) and if they give their approval, forward that email to the student centre and they should be able to manually enrol the subject on your study plan for you. Keep in mind that classes may be full so you should go to the student centre in that case.

Edit: I just noticed you saying you were in your last year. Is one of your bachelor's subjects simply an elective and not contributing to your major or are they all prereqs?

Yeah, it's just an elective, not a prereq and one of those sem 1 subjects only
I thought I was eligible for additional assessment/final subject rule but wasn't notified, although I contacted the coordinator...

I enrolled in a tutorial that I just found out has been cancelled. I've been told to enrol in another tutorial but all the available ones have really inconvenient times (either 8am or 5.15pm). Is there anyway I can enrol in one that's already full or am I stuck with the 8am/5.15pm ones?

Talk to your student centre ASAP. If they are nice enough, they may be able to get you into one without any evidence. You might want to read this before you go talk to them though:
