Monash 2014 Jaffy Tips & Questions Thread

[eeps]

Just to add to the above post, see here as well: Monash University: Caulfield campus guide

For the Beach Day (Caulfield, tomorrow), it says to bring a change of clothes.
What sort of clothes? It's for the after party, so is that like club stuff, or casual stuff?

I know this is a jaffy question but what do you do in you free ?
I have a massive 3 hour between lectures. What should i do ?

[NothAU]

Whatever you want, it's free

You could go to the library, go home, eat somewhere, study, hang out with some mates, even burn down parliament house if you really wanted to (although I wouldn't do that one), you have plenty of time

Not a Jaffy but I certainly feel like one at the moment:

I've just changed a unit, and the lab I want (need) clashes with a lecture, thus it won't let me enrol in it. How can I go about getting this lab? Do I need to submit some form or something?

It depends on the faculty as to the process, but if you check out the link below you should find your answer

Thank you so much! I'm at the clash request form, however my new unit isn't showing up on the list of which unit to select as the "problem unit" (the old unit is instead). Given that the new unit is already in Allocate+ but not yet in Moodle, how long do you think I'll need to wait until the form updates?

No worries. I can't help you with that last one sorry though I did read somewhere that moodle is supposed to be fully live tomorrow (I think it was tomorrow but I can't remember exactly where I read this) so maybe try checking tomorrow and Friday. Your best bet though would probably be to contact the unit co-ordinator directly - they may be able to email you a copy or something

Umm.. Do trains usually run on public holidays (since Labour Day is coming up soon)?

If I change one of my units in WES, will my timetable be affected at all? I might change one, but I don't wanna risk anything wrong happening.

Yes they do but they usually run to a Saturday timetable as far as I know.

From my experience the only part of your timetable that will be affected is the subject you are changing in WES (i.e. those lectures/tutes etc will disappear) but the other ones will be unchanged. However, in saying that, make sure you are certain you want to change that subject as once you change it in WES your labs/tutorial positions will become available for someone else to move into which means that if you then want to change back you may find you need to choose another time or there may be no available space at all.

[vashappenin]

Ok dw guys. I called up the uni and they said that because it's a core commerce unit they'll add more tutes
