Are there any advantages of paying student contribution fees partially upfront with HECS?

Hi Mieow,

More information about the benefits of paying your student contribution upfront is available here.

If I sat the placement test for Japanese and was found to be at the proficient level, would I still be allowed to enrol at the intermediate level (Japanese 3 and japanese 4)?

The Faculty of Arts recommends you sit the placement test for Japanese, and you can then speak to program staff members if you do not feel you have been placed at an appropriate level.

If you do dbl major in acc/fin you won't be doing finance 1 because there won't be extra space for the commerce elective. You need to choose another breadth subject for your first year in addition to principles of business law. You'd also need to complete Corporate Law in year 2 and Taxation Law 1 in year 3 to receive your professional accreditation for accounting. So it's compulsory to complete the Business Law Breadth track (3 subs) if you're doing accounting. I've attached a sample study planner for acc/fin if it helps. Someone correct me if I'm wrong

Thanks so much for your help

 

There's nothing wrong with doing Finance 1 as a commerce elective. It's not compulsory to do 2 breadths in 1st year, doing one breadth is fine.

However if you want, you can choose not to do Finance 1, and you'd still able to do the Finance major, provided you have done QM1 and a 2nd semester accounting subject.

Thankyou!

On another note, I missed out on the diploma in languages session yesterday due to the commerce info running from 1-3. Does anyone know if I can take other breadth subjects if I wanted to fast track with the diploma through cross editing?

Hi Coralista,

With the approval of your home faculty it is possible to cross-credit subjects from your diploma to your bachelor course provided that suitable spaces remain in the bachelor course structure. You will need to check with a Commerce course advisor about which subjects you are able to cross credit. Give us a call on 13MELB and we can help you out.

I've read the Fees section and the FAQs but still not quite sure if we can pay any fees now like the Student Services and Amenities Fee. (When do we pay the SSAF and the subject fees?) Do we have to wait for an email with instructions or do we go straight to the Fees section in my.unimelb.edu.au ?

You have to wait until after the census date, which is normally about 4-6 weeks into semester. After this you'll get an invoice generated which you can pay (you'll be emailed a notification).

Odd. Have you tried adding it via both Breadth Subjects and Free Choice?

[slinkykitty]

Just tried free choice and it will let me add that.   Will that work ok, can that free choice be somehow converted to a breadth.    Should i add that as a free choice?

I'm having trouble accessing the placement test for me to enrol in Japanese. It keeps telling me my username and/or password is wrong. Is this the correct website?

It'd be best to add it under breadth, otherwise you'll need to see your Student Centre at some point to get it rearranged. There shouldn't be any reason you can't add it to breadth, is that the only error message displayed?

Just to check, you are using your username and not student number/email address? I can access the site fine.
If you've got your student card you can try resetting your password at accounts.unimelb.edu.au

Yes, it keeps saying that only 37.5 points can be added,  instead of "add to study planner"
