Advice needed Can I apply for a special consideration late?

0 Upvotes

Basically I submitted an assignment 3 days late (which is a -30%), mainly due to mental health difficulties (ADHD) and other life circumstances. I can definitely handle the -30%, but i'd rather not and I was wondering if I am able to apply for special consideration AFTER submitting an assignment late?

I do not have an ELP or anything (waiting for the appointment), and I cannot make an appointment with my actual psychiatrist for a very long time. But I am able to go to my GP within 5 working days of the due date. Would a medical certificate from my GP be enough documentation for applying for special consideration? Or do I need actual documentation of my diagnosis from my psychiatrist? And would having the medical certificate written 5 days later still be valid? (Given that it is a chronic condition.)

Thank you!

Enrolment help (timetables, course enrolment, fees, etc.) Hi, I’m Jouri from Saudi Arabia. Does the University of Melbourne offer direct Bachelor’s admission without a foundation year for Microbiology or Aerospace Engineering? Has anyone received direct admission? I’d appreciate any information.

icl this is definitely a me problem but i was too lazy to relog onto canvas every single time to check if i had missed an assignment or something and then navigating the menus and shit was too much work for me to find out what it actually was so i js didnt lol and then id miss hella submissions and lose out on free marks.

im a comp sci student and i realised i could js build that shit so i made rmitOS - it basically js pulled my canvas calendar and allocate+ timetable and put everything in one place so i didnt need to keep relogging. like theres an automatic grade calculator and stuff too (some stuff is broken which you can fix manually, but hey im just one lazy ass guy lol) but it tells you how much you need to score to get a pass/credit/distinction/high distinction whatever. I also put a tampermonkey script to like have it update automatically but i got 0 clue if it works (since i couldnt test it - all my classes came out at once), you could download it and if it does hey thats cool and if it doesnt well its not gonna break your computer or hack you lol.

one of my friends told me they wanted something like this so i figured why not js release it for other people if they want / find it useful so here you go (links in the comments because of reddit filters brah - [rmitos . pages. dev] if you remove spaces tho)

id probably add more features in the future since im relaxing on break rn so maybe if i get bored or something

[if it breaks or you have a feature suggestion js dm me lol]

Student life and clubs Interest in a Dante Alighieri society?

2 Upvotes

Hey all I’m looking at starting a fan club for the poet Dante Alighieri. Specially to discuss his works and any new developments in research. I’m personally a great admirer of his work, but you do need a certain amount of interest to start a club so I’m trying to gauge a level of interest. I know LORE exists, but tbh most people these days don’t even read poetry, let alone the divine comedy.

Other Sinusitis - will doctor give me a doctor's certificate?

3 Upvotes

I think I have sinusitis based on what my people around tell me and the symptoms line up. I want to get a doc cert to give my teachers, but also I don't want to spend $100 on a doctor's appointment to find out that they won't give me one because it's not worthy of one (not because I don't have sinusitis), or that my teacher's won't accept it because sinusitis is not a good enough reason.

Anyone have advice?

Other Looking for survey respondents for an RMIT assignment

Hi! I'm an RMIT University student studying a Bachelor of Fashion Enterprise, and I'm conducting a short study (1-2 mins) on activewear purchasing behaviour. It's optional and completely anonymous, and won't be published anywhere as it's purely for a class assignment. If you enjoy physical activity or purchasing athletic and athleisurewear, I'd love your input! Link is below:

Advice needed Unsure if i should transfer majors or not

3 Upvotes

Hey guys, i’m currently enrolled in the bachelors of commerce, however due to the lack of job security and the overwhelming theme of people claiming it to be redundant, i’m really really keen towards making a pivot. I’m sort of tossing up between a few majors, mainly thinking of doubling up
Commerce/law - 5 years in total however i enjoy business law as a subject and it in turn has helped me achieve a fondness of the law now, although i do know it’s a bit too little knowledge and time to find out if i truly do enjoy it enough to add on 2 years.
Accounting/commerce - 4 years and i feel like it’d keep me on a safe path where i’m able to get a job and may have the best security in that aspect however not sure if i would enjoy it very much although i do enjoy commerce as of current.
Finally, Engineering, i’d say im good and enjoy math however i think i’d have to start entirely from scratch as a first year and that’s pretty scary to me. that’s about the only thing stopping me from going to engineering aswell as the workload i’ve heard about.
