I don't have any personal experience with this, but just something for you to be aware of...

When doing a double major, you can only count 2 units towards both majors. You have a total of 16 commerce units to do, of which 6 are core.

Then on top of that, to complete a finance major you need another 7 units (ACC1000 counts towards finance), meaning you've now done 13 and have 3 left. If you cross credit BFC2140 and BFC2340 to the actuary major, you have 6 units left to complete the major. Even if you do etc3460 (which is on the list for both) as part of the finance major, you would still need 6 "actuary" units. So this brings you up 19. So you can't fit it in unfortunately.Even if you could do these 19 units (going over the credit requirement for your course, not usually allowed I don't think) you wouldn't have all the required exemptions for part I accreditation.

Unless you're doing commerce/science, in which case you can do some maths units to count as some the actuarial units which may make it possible. MTH2222, MTH3251, MTH3241 etc.

If you're doing com/law you only have 5 core units so have 1 extra unit to play with, but you still can't fit it in with a conventional path.

But best to speak with a course adviser to see how you go. If you want to major in actuarial studies though, have a look here to see all the units you need to do in order to get all of the exemptions.

Best thing to do is go in and speak with the people at uni as Reckoner said. Even if you figure it all up yourself, its still up to them to say it actually is allowed. Little rule changes or things you miss can seriously screw you up, go in and talk to someone. Preferably, get a course plan made up as well (ask for one, they do it in science, dont know if all faculties do it).
