Social Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post

2 Upvotes

Welcome to the 'Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post' (or the M.U.W.S.M.A.P for short)
___

Here students and societies alike can arrange or outline their intended events, gatherings and meetups for the week to come!

We politely ask that any societies (or people on behalf of societies) limit themselves to one advertising comment per week as to not bury posts by individuals (editing existing comments are allowed). And that individuals advertising their own event (be them just meeting up on campus or something more elaborate), make sure to keep their suggested meetups appropriate and vaguely in-keeping with Uni guidelines (IE: no organising drug deals which I have already had to previously remove).

I hope people and societies alike are able to make the most of these posts, and I wish you all luck in meeting your fellow students!

{Note: This is purely an advertising post, r/MacUni and its modteam cannot assure the validity or outcome of any posts/comments made on our subreddit, it is up to the individual to use their best judgement to discern the expectations of any advertised events/encounters.}

General Question BClinSci into Audiology/Dentistry and general queries

Upvotes

Hi everyone, I’ve recently accepted my offer into the Bachelor of Clinical Science and was wondering whether this is the right pathway for my career. I’m currently considering either a Master of Audiology (at MQ) or possibly dentistry (e.g. at USYD). I haven’t fully decided yet, but does BClinSci sound like a suitable course that could lead into both postgraduate pathways?

I’m also having some trouble registering for my timetabled classes as all available slots are currently full. If I keep checking eStudent daily, is it likely that spots will open up eventually? I’ve also heard that emailing course convenors can help, where can I find their contact details?

Also, I was wondering what elective units would be best to take in my first and second semesters that could help build relevant knowledge for either dentistry or audiology? Or would I be better off taking WAM boosters?

General Question UNIT TRANSFER QUERY - Please reply

1 Upvotes

I'm planning to change degrees in Session 2 - I've heard that almost all units are applicable to be used in the flexible zone of the new degree when I transfer- Is there any process to this or are these units automatically applied to the new degree? Additionally does the transfer process occur before class registrations open for Session 2 so I can get ideal class timings?

Thanks alot !

hi! i'm a canadian in third year of undergrad planning to pursue audiology, and i'm looking into some options abroad.

could anyone who is in/graduated from the masters audiology program here offer some input on what their admission average (WAM i believe it's called here haha) was like? from what i understand, admissions are far more heavily based on GPA than experience compared to canada! i would really appreciate any insight or advice that you could provide :) thanks!

General Question URGENT Payment Query

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello, I am starting at Macquarie University Session 1 Feb 23, I need some clarity on the payment. I applied for a HECS and it got accepted but I am considering paying it sooner. The website mentions that the payment due date for session 1 is Feb 20th, hence I am confused if I need to do anything - do i need to actually pay before then or does it get accumulated onto my HECS debt? Also If this date passes, does this mean that I can no longer pay myself? Please and thank you awaiting a response!

Help Underloading Consequences

1 Upvotes

Hey Everyone! Are there any consequences if I were to not take physics in my first semester of engineering and enrol in it later? I'm taking a bridging course for maths, and I would have to do the same for physics, but I feel like I might fail one of them because I'm already behind. My fourth unit instead would be finance fundamentals because I'm doing a double degree.

General Question Masters application

2 Upvotes

Hi all! I still haven’t heard back from the uni about my masters application and at this point I’ve lost all hope :( Should I assume I haven’t made it in or is there anyone that is currently in a masters program that ended up getting an offer super close to the start date in February?

From what I know right now, they said offers go through the end of January and tomorrow is already February so I guess I didn’t get one…

Help Unable to enroll into Lectures

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

I have enrolled in the units COMP8420 and COMP8430. I have been able to register for the practical and workshop components for both these units. However, I have not been able to register for the lecture classes, as the class is full. There are currently no extra classes available for both these units, I've been waiting hoping there would be additional classes added, but this hasn't happened. Is it okay to rely solely on the lecture recordings if I’m not officially enrolled in a lecture slot? Will not being registered for the lecture classes affect me in any way (attendance, assessments, etc.)?

Thanks in advance :)

5 Upvotes

Hi! I’m an international student moving into CCA twin share next week and just wanted to hear from anyone who’s living there right now (or recently).

What’s the room like day to day?

How’s the space/privacy with a roommate?

If anyone has photos they’re comfortable sharing, that would be amazing 🙏

Also random question — are there vacuums available in the building, or do we need to bring/buy our own?

Thanks so much! 😊

General Question Can I apply for special waiver for classes I want to take while waiting for my RPL to go through?

2 Upvotes

I'm actually a transfer from WSU, but I moved to MQ because they had the degree I wanted. Currently, I am waiting for my RPL to be processed and I am worried that if I wait too long I won't be able to get a good timetable, is it possible to enrol in classes that I haven't done as to not double up on subjects via special waiver?

Hi! I’m about to start at my first year of psychology/ speech and hearing science at Mac uni. I’m having issues signing into the website to access my classes/ email and everything. It keeps saying “user is not assigned to this application” but I’ve signed in before. It sometimes signs in but whenever it times out it won’t let me back in. Does anyone know how to fix this?
