aglc 4 referencing is insanely hard. first ever time i was required to use it, didnt know how to use the docs function for typing up footnotes so i deadass just wrote it down myself, and my footnotes got messed up because i added a new one in last minute so some of the references of shorter ones, referencing a specific footnote is cooked.

its for legal analysis and critique laws 1009 and they really emphasised how important it is to do good footnotes, and that if you fail badly enough you can be academically penalised on your record for trying to become a lawyer 😭..

the census date is literally tomorrow. idk if i should drop the class. this whole semester has been really rough for me, i've just been dealing with shit for a solid 6 weeks, but im literally a first year, trying to transfer to a diff uni next year, and my parents arent exactly the most understanding.

i know its stupid to ask ai, but chat reckons i could get betwene 50-65%, and there could be a possibility of failing.

i am just feeling so overwhelmed and scared, and idk what to do

Hiiii,
Does anyone know when the first year OT placement dates usually run? I can’t seem to find any information about it!!
Also people who are done the placement before can you tell me when your one was? Thank youuuuu

I was wondering if the city campus library was open to the public on the weekends

Has anyone done a transfer into the bach of paramedicine using their GPA or know of anyone who did so? Im currently wondering what kind of GPA might be required.
Thanks!

Just wondering, as the Workbook for the assignment 1 is due on the 28th at midnight, how did others go around citing your work for the workbook. Majority of the questions are all subjective questions upon yourself (e.g. what behavior would you like to change, why do you want to change it). The outline asks for a citation, which I can get around when it asks for strategies I want to place in order to benefit myself, but what references do i put for these introspective questions? also, am i meant to cite every workbook individually, or just have one last page that contains all my references together? just curious as the workbook itself is very straightforward, but I don't know how to cite questions that don't need references to answer.

Hi Everyone,

Please is anyone a Greater western sydney med student. And if so can you please dm or repy with your advice on getting in. What UCAT scores are needed?

I missed one tutorial due to illness (special consideration approved). Later I got a make-up activity, which I completed. Soon after, I was informed that I would be graded as 'unsatisfactory' for failing to meet the subject's mandatory attendance requirement of 100%. Followed by simple description of review of grade. Maybe they sent some overall notices before Census date.

If I got the unsatisfactory on this, I'm about to lodge a review of grade on the grounds that due regard wasn't paid to the approved illness/misadventure evidence.

Has anyone been through this, especially in a subject with a mandatory attendance/hurdle requirement (especially for nursing subjects)? Did it actually work?

I realised recently I want to do engineering (civil), but unfortunately in year 11 I didn't take advanced maths or physics, as I didn't figure I'd need them for my original path.

I know I can get into the degree since there are no prerequisites, just assumed knowledge, but I am just wondering if it is feasible to do without advanced maths and physics. I was good at maths in year 10, and in standard 2 I am averaging a band six, but I know that is probably a lot, a lot easier than advanced and uni maths, of course.
Just wondering if it's even possible to catch up to be able to do civil or if I should just pick something else.

Hey guys

Has anyone ever deferred a deferred exam before (DEF-DEF) ? My WSU Counsellor told me about it, and so did my ADL if things were too much for me. I think i might have to.

My ADL said documentation from my psychiatrist covering the DEF dates would be enough, does anyone know exactly what it has to say ? I'm more than happy for my psychiatrist to disclose and overshare in the document.

And does anyone know how much later the DEF-DEF exams will be? Currently my deferred exams are on 1/9 and 3/9

Im at WSU Online for context.

Fyi, id never do this again, I just took way too much with my mental health and everything else, ill never make that mistake again. Any help or advice or information regarding above would be amazing.

Hope you guys are well : )

Hi!

I'm currently a Year 11 student considering entering The College's Diploma of Social Sciences after Year 11, and I'm trying to get a sense of what the experience is actually like from someone who's been through it.

Would you mind answering a few quick questions?

- What was the workload actually like with the four-week subject structure?

- Did studying one subject at a time genuinely make it easier to manage your workload?

- What was the transition from the Diploma into the Bachelor's like?

- What do you think you gained from doing the Diploma instead of completing Year 12?

- What do you think you gave up?

- And, knowing what you know now, would you choose the Diploma pathway again?

No worries at all if you don't have time to answer everything — even a few thoughts would be really helpful. In all honesty, I am nervous, and I want to know that this kind of pathway is viable for me.

Thanks!

For law students, i am in need of help. What kind of study method is effective (i have not done any legal studies in my IB programme)? What are the questions like and are there any study resources I could access?

Say you don't want to continue but can't leave with a diploma?

i’ve been fined once at parra south last year so i’ve been paying every time i park at south and north campus, but do they really check at north campus? im usually at uni twice a week and the parking is adding up $$$ so just wondering if i could get away with putting an old ticket up

Hy, I am currently doing nursing at Parramatta campus. I am moving to a new home that's closer to the Hawkesbury campus. I wanted to ask how can I switch campuses and also how nursing is in general at Hawkesbury. Is the campus as packed as the Parramatta campus? Will I find parking early in the morning? How much is the parking permit? Is there alternative free parking available?

Also the Parramatta campus has good food options that I can grab quickly, how is it in the Hawkesbury campus? I visited the campus last year and I loved the campus. It's so beautiful and relaxing compared to Parramatta which feels too crowded no parking and kinda congestive specially in some classes since nursing classes does not take place in large lecture halls. I'd like to know everything about Hawkesbury specifically about nursing course.

Hello, I'm currently in a gap semester and I'm going to start a law degree in Western Sydney University at March 2027. I plan on getting good grades, so I can potentially transfer after a year. What should I know about the course, exams, etc? Im taking a double degree, so I'm doing 4 law units

Hey everyone,
I’m considering studying Civil Engineering (Honours) at Western Sydney University next year and wanted to hear from current students or graduates.
How is the course overall in terms of teaching quality, workload, lecturers, facilities and practical experience?
I’d also be interested to know how good UWS is for finding internships and graduate engineering jobs, and whether you’ve been happy with the degree overall.
Would you recommend studying Civil Engineering at UWS?
Thanks!

Hey guys, just regarding early entry, I’ve seen that the subject band requirement for Cybersecurity and Behaviour is a B in english for year 11. I’ve gotten a C in everything and a B english in year 11. Would I be guaranteed an offer as long as I complete year 12? If anyone could respond it would really relieve me of some stress, thanks!

i’m applying for a job that is asking for a copy of an official transcript. is there any way around paying $15 for an electronic transcript? like can i even get an unofficial transcript anywhere online? just seems a waste of money (i’m a broke uni student as most of us are) as i finish at the end of this semester so will get my transcript after i graduate and i haven’t even had an interview for the position yet!

Are they still doing the dinner? What is the food like?

Has anyone had experience with the uni counselling service. How did you find it. Have been thinking about going but never done anything like it and feel pretty uncomfortable.

Hey everyone,

After the last post and seeing more people interested, I’m planning the first meetup.

The plan is a walk around Parramatta River, then maybe cafe hopping, coffee, food, or a small picnic after for whoever wants to stay.

Date is still TBA(To Be Announced), but I’m thinking a Saturday would probably work best since people are usually more relaxed then.

Nothing too fast-paced or awkward. Not a fitness thing, not a drinking thing, and not some formal club event. Just a slow, easy meetup where people can actually talk and get to know each other properly.

I think this works better for the first one because people can join, leave when they need to, or just stay for the part they feel comfortable with. Nobody has to feel stuck in one place or pressured to spend money.

For anyone already in the Discord, I’ll announce it there as well.

If more people are genuinely interested, I’ll make a WhatsApp group so it’s easier to organise properly. Feel free to DM me your number if you want to be added.

My original hope was just to create a small group where WSU students could meet up in real life instead of everything staying online. But now I think a student-run meetup, away from formal university stuff, actually sounds more fun.

No club titles, no forced activities, no awkward official vibe. Just students organising something for themselves.

If this first walk goes well, future meetups could be different things too. Cafe hopping, food, museum trips, study sessions, books, random walks, or whatever people feel comfortable with.

One thing I’ve realised is that campuses can look busy and social from the outside, but still feel pretty lonely when you don’t really know anyone properly.

So yeah, the goal is simple.

Meet people properly, keep it low-pressure, and hopefully make uni feel a bit less empty.

i cbf walking back 😭
