For the sake of not making a 900th thread, I shall ask my variety of questions here!
1. Re:enrollment
First of all just let me point out the skill involved in the creation of that awesome pun.
Anyway, my question is: if I re-enroll in my course now, but later decide to change to a different course do I have to pay any sort of cancellation fee/dues in general for this to occur or is it a relatively simple process?
Secondly: obviously, if I decide to move to a Bachelor of Science which is where things might be headed at the moment, I don't want to forfeit my place in my current course until I know I am accepted. Because of applying through VTAC that basically means I have to re-enroll and then apply to Science and wait until January. But what happens when I'm already enrolled at the University of Melbourne and I try to apply to the University of Melbourne? That is, if I am already enrolled at the University will they even consider my VTAC application and will it hinder my chances of transferring?
Course load/breath debacles
So, because I have already completed two Science subjects (MBB1 and MBB2) this year, along with four subjects which can be counted as breadth in a Science degree (Australian Politics, Literature and Performance, US History and Culture, Media and Everyday Life) I should technically only be undertaking two subjects per semester next year if I move.
1. Changes to the breadth requirements confuse me - someone explain how many breadths this means I have to do! I know there are some rules about how many of your breadths are allowed to be first year subjects but I don't really understand them - how many is it?
2. Because I'll only be taking two subjects per semester, does this mean I am classified as a part time student at least for first year? Or am I a full time student because, despite not taking four subjects per semester, I will have completed 100 credit points (more than this) at the end of my first year?
3. How do I go about claiming credit for breadths and the psychology subjects - do I wait until accepted or talk to somebody about this before I apply or does it have to be discussed in my application (although, VTAC wouldn't really allow that?)
4. If I apply to exchange at the end of 2011 I will only have two subjects per semester and therefore, a non-appropriate weighted average. I can imagine they would take the Psychology subjects and add them on to my average for each of those once I gain credit. Is this correct? However, do I get to choose which breadth subjects count when? So, for instance, if I got a 90 in one subject and I want to make that count as my first semester 2011 breadth and then an 87 in another and then an 86 in another still, am I allowed to choose when those count so that my exchange application is more likely to be accepted/I am more likely to get funding/everything? Ie, have my breadth for 2011 semester 1 the 90 subject and in semester 2 the 87 subject and leave out the 86 subject from my weighted average until Sem 1 2012.
Or would they consider every subject ever taken in that equation, so it wouldn't really matter when the breadths are counting, they will all count because I have already done them - I can imagine I would be able to use at least three of my four as breadth credits?
The last question is potentially really confusing so if nobody gets it, let me know and I'll rephrase.
The fun of funding!
If I pay for one semester next year, considering I already paid for one this year (upfront) does this mean I get an extra year on my 'seven maximum' years of CSP placement. Or, because I have been in a CSP place, this does not occur? The whole seven year thing just confuses me - because I would be going back to first year I technically lose a year of CSP eligibility?
Might sound like a stupid question, but I thought I would ask!
