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?

Snorlax, they'd post it on the LMS.

Will there be costs pulling out of a semester 2 subject? How about sem 1?

No as long as it is done before the census date of the subject, you can find this on your student invoice. If you withdraw after the census date you still need to pay and it will show up as Withdrawn on your transcript.

Im doing Bsc. Sci and I don't know what I want to do yet, but I saw a post on Melb Uni Confessions about not being offered any graduate course.

What happens if my GPA and say GAMSAT score are not high enough?
Thanks

Hi guys I have a question.
I'm in my first year of doing comm/arts at Monash, but I want to transfer to UoM to do comm.
Is it possible to transfer midyear in my first year/has anyone done it before? Because it seems like we get midyear uni results around the time when offers come out.
My atar was 92.9 so its not enough to get into UoM comm on its own.
Thanks if anyone knows!

It depends on what you want to do. If you're not offered a post-graduate course then you can go on to do Honours --> PhD or go through the application process in the following year.

I'm considering applying for honours in psychology and am wondering whether the subjects used to calculate the entry score/average are all weighted equally? Thanks.

The score used to rank applicants is calculated as the average of your second year psychology results and all third year results (psychology and non-psychology). Results from other institutions are scaled to equivalency with a University of Melbourne result, where H1 = 80%.

It should be 2nd year subjects are weighted at 1/3 and 3rd year at full weighting. Unless they're considering changing the formula this year, it's been like that for the last few years.

For music auditions, are you allowed/required to attend the audition with a piano accompanist? The website does not specify this.

Hi, can someone explain to me how mid-year entries work?
I'm thinking of applying for the Bachelor of Science for entry in semester 2
If i get accepted, how will my units/subjects work? Will I be doing semester 1 subjects or semester 2? What units can I choose to do?
I want to major in psychology, so can I still do the psychology semester 2 subject without doing the semester 1 unit of it? I'm confused...

There isn't much information on the melb uni website so I'm not sure how my studies will go if i get accepted... Thanks
