Anybody know what time parking permits usually go on sale? I got the email saying the days for each campus and prices but does anyone know whether it's usually midnight that day or later? Also, do they sell out quick? Thanks!

Here's a list from Wikipedia, so can't verify the trustworthiness of this, but there's a few more than noted here.

Late February/ early March is when they go on sale from recollection. (Site for parking permits is here.) Don't know if they sell out quick and whether it's midnight or later.

I noticed on the website that if you're doing engineering/science double degree, you can graduate with an eng degree earlier than your overall course length (eng in your fourth year of a five year degree) or with a science degree. Anyone have any experience with this?

This is what is known as alternative exits. Some degrees allow you to graduate early with a different degree or one of your degrees as long as you meet the requirements for that degree.

In the case of Engineering (Honours) and Science, you would basically have to choose units as if you were taking a single degree in Eng to be able to finish it in 4 years, or a single degree in Science to be able to finish it in 3 years. Both of these degrees taken as single degrees are normally this long anyway.

The alternative exit choices for Eng/Sci are mainly for people who no longer want to do the double degree, and wish to only study Eng or Sci without having to go through the hassle of transfer applications to move themselves from a double to a single.

Thank you! I thought it would allow you to graduate from eng earlier and still complete the double degree.

Hey

In the off-chance I get an offer into Law as a second round offer, how would I go about re-making my timetable on allocate+, considering preference entry closes on the 29th of January? Would my timetable just be the leftover spots, and therefore a complete mess?

Thanks

You would allocate your timetable in the adjustment period that opens on the 5th of February. During this period, any changes made are in real-time and update immediately. Classes that are full cannot be manually allocated, so yes, essentially you are having to pick between times that are 'leftover' or free (you have no choice in any automatically allocated classes as usual). Classes that were previously full have a chance of opening up as students move around, and sometimes more class times are added.

Edit: Should probably make clear I haven't experienced this myself, but you may be given a randomly allocated timetable first, then you can adjust it like everyone else in the adjustment period.

www is pretty much right. Just wanted to point out that it is possible to switch into a ‘full’ session, although it’s a bit trickier. When you receive your timetable in the adjustment period, ask on Moodle forums to see if you can find someone to swap with you. If you have a lab or a class that is heavily controlled by attendance (e.g. a tute that has an attendance rate), usually you’d be able to swap with that willing classmate via telling the unit coordinators (they usually post early and say who to contact and how). The Moodle page will be super helpful to know how to proceed, as some will also tell you to (nicely) email the Allocate+ people to fix this on your timetable after fixing in class, so that everything is official.

It looks like they're introducing a built in swapping system on Allocate+ this year!

I used this (SwapMe) last semester, and basically you select the class you want to swap from, and the time you want to swap to, and the system tries to match you with someone wanting the opposite swap. Once they've found someone, the swap is made. I believe you can also access this via Allocate+ itself - there should be a "request swap" option next to any full class :)

The classes that are marked "full" or are at maximum capacity.
