It's the break between semester teaching days. You'll have SWOTVAC and exams for the first few weeks of it though so don't go booking holidays or anything just yet.

Ok so I'm going to need a fairly high GPA alongside my ATAR but do I also need to sit the STAT? I mean the GPA and the ATAR will mean I have put so much effort already... This is for BSc@UoM and nothing else online seems to be of any help.

Are you currently enrolled to a Uni within Victoria? If so, then that's all you need to focus on until you can start applying for transfers. As far as I know, UoM doesn't even use the STAT nor accepts it according to the UAC site.

When can we start paying fees, including the SSAF?

When can we start paying fees, including the SSAF?

When your student assistance invoice is issued. Normally is sent out a week into semester, census date is when they become due.
Edited because I can't read properly.

When your student assistance invoice is issued. Normally is sent out when the census date for your subjects is reached, so a few weeks into semester.

Thanks heaps, Stevensmay!

I viewed the subject fees online and it said the due date was 31st of March. I thought that was the census date  Also do you know where I can see how much I have to pay for SSAF?

I just went and checked my records from last year. An invoice was issued in early March (first day of semester), with the fees listed as optional but due on the census date if paying up front. This included all subjects I was doing that semester as well as the SSAF. Then, a couple of weeks after the census date, a Commonwealth Assistance Notice recorded that I had incurred a HECS debt for my fees, including the SSAF.

You should have gotten a text or message via your uni email about your host and meeting location. If you haven't, I think you can tag along with one of your friends but be sure to let their host know beforehand.

Is this the partial lecture notes needed for Calc 2? If so how much does it cost/can you get it somewhere cheaper?

Yes. It's about $17 from the Co-op (Baillieu bookshop). You can print it yourself but it's probably going to cost the same by the time you finish.

Are there updated/live personalised timetables that are shown on our student portals?
For example, If any of our classes were cancelled, would It appear on our timetable, or would they just post it in the LMS?

Also, I have no clue what's going on with my Physics fundamentals classes...No info about anything was uploaded to the LMS...Is this normal or what?

Thanksss
