I'm just sorting through enrolment now. I was wondering how exactly the courses work for my Commerce degree. It's saying that I need to put in the courses that I want to study, but have they already included the cores or do I need to put them in myself?
Also, am I supposed to choose the four flexible courses that I want to study now? And are these flexible courses going to be learnt throughout the degree or just my first year?
One more thing. I've accepted the offer but obviously haven't enrolled into my classes yet. Does this mean I'm still eligible to receive an offer from another university, like USYD?
Sorry for the bombardment of questions. I figured I might ask some students about the process before calling the actual uni.

Hey! Find your course in the handbook and it should have a recommended structure there! ;D
Edit: Your course doesn't have one. Lovely. Basically, uni is much more flexible than you may expect (especially in something like Commerce) and your structure can vary based on your preference. If you are unsure, a good start would be to get those core courses done, assuming they are offered in Semester 1. For you I think these are:
ACCT1501 Accounting & Financial Mgt 1A (6 UOC)
ECON1101 Microeconomics 1 (6 UOC)
ECON1203 Business & Economic Statistics (6 UOC)
MGMT1001 Managing Organisations&People (6 UOC)
Edit #2: Are you straight commerce? If so, this will help, otherwise pick the one you need ;D

Cheers Jamon,
UNSW has sent me an e-mail regarding my enrolment, and it seems as though they've sent a personal recommended structure as well. It was basically just the 4 core units. For my flexible units, I've decided to pick these as my 4:
MARK1012 Marketing Fundamentals
MGMT1101 Global Business Environment
TABL1710 Business and the Law
COMM1000 Creating Social Change
I'm actually dreading the compulsory economics and accounting courses though. I have a feeling that my lack of HSC maths could potentially make me struggle next year. I've decided not to do a bridging course for Mathematics though, as a lot of people have told me that it's unnecessary.
And yeah, straight Commerce at the moment. I would have loved to be able to do Com / Law, but there's a very long story about my delayed ID, which stopped me from being able to sit the LAT despite paying the fee for it.
I think I'll leave the enrolment for now. I want to wait for the January round to see whether or not USYD would take me for Com / Law. I'm not gonna complain about UNSW (I kind of prefer the campus and atmosphere better anyway), but it would be pretty cool to see USYD accept me.

Hey guys,
My timetable looks like this at the moment. I was wondering if this is a normal setup for a full-time student? I honestly thought that I'd only be going to uni like 2-3 times a week.. I'm doing 8 courses at the moment as well, but I'm not sure if that's too many or not. It said that I need to have the 4 core courses, and 4 flexible ones so that's what I chose.
How many courses are you guys doing atm?

Hey,
I'm going 4 days a week (tried to get three but one of the tutes filled up). I'm only doing 4 different units (three music and one education). 8 seems like a lot but I don't really know your course.
This is mine:

Thanks for the insight Katie. I definitely think that I'm doing too many courses. I'm doing a straight up Commerce degree, and I've already got more classes than your Education/Music degree. I'll have to call the uni after work tomorrow to sort things out. I have a slight feeling that the four compulsory courses that I included are supposed to be completed throughout the degree, rather than in a single year.
