How is the WAM calculated? Is it based on all my grades from the first semester onwards, or is it calculated separately for each semester?

Hey everyone.
I am enrolled in a combined law degree at MQ and am starting this month. My core courses for law are the LAWS1100 and LAWS1000, and ive managed to get into both their tutorial sessions, but lectures are completely full. Ive been checking it daily for a couple weeks now hoping they'd release more times but haven't yet. Does anyone if they will for these two subjects? Or when I should start stressing lol
Thank you

- also, i cant choose other units as these two are prerequisites to all the following law units in the course

I graduated 12th with Japanese Continuers, and the double degree for Bachelor of Arts allows me to take a minor worth 4 units/40 credit points. I want to take Japanese Studies to continue it, but am unsure which level to take. I studied it for 6 years in HS and studied outside of it as well, so I'm not going to take Japanese Studies 1 or 2. But I don't know where to pick up from, does anyone who's taken a Japanese Studies minor know which 2 elective units I should select? Or should I just not select it at all?

Hi there! I’m starting my course in feb 2025. So please share your ig handles if you are doing the same course (even seniors feel free to contact me) and I’ll create an insta group chat 🙃

hi everybody, I'm just about to start my second term of 12 and I've received my final year 11 marks and was wondering if early entry is an option for me since I did well in my prelims. I'd love to pursue law at uni and I'm also a regional student from Dubbo.

these were my results:
(I'm also apart of leadership team as an academic prefect and have some volunteer work in my church for my tech and kidschurch teams and I previously played don my school's volleyball team)

eng advanced: B

Biology: B

maths advanced: B

Modern History: A

Ancient history: A

business studies: A

Although I did well, (apart from my maths prelim which I failed), I was wondering whether these marks are good enough for law. I was also wondering if anyone knows whether my semester 1 year 12 results will be taken into consideration as I have done exceeding well, with my marks for term 1 being:

eng advanced: 91 (2nd)

Biology: 88 (3rd)

maths advanced: (hasn't been marked yet, probably high 80s or 90s at least though)

Modern History: 100 (1st)

Ancient history: 95 (2nd)

business studies: 90 (1st)

Estimated UAC atar (97.85)

I have currently picked up Extension History and will probably do pretty well there too.

Anyway, I was just wondering if anyone has some advice on whether I will be eligible to get in and if my year 12 first semester marks are taken into consideration. Thank you!

Whilst it may seem ironic that I upload this thread on the University reddit page, I am wondering how I transfer to USYD from Macquarie using WAM rather than my atar alongside the necessary procedures that are required.

Hey guys.

Is there a dress code for campus and classes? I am joining the masters program so just curious cause getting ready to pack stuff and leave and come! So let me know if there’s anything to keep in mind.

I'm currently learning Bachelor of Teaching (ECE). So i have enrolled myself in 3 units but 2 of them (one of them is external) doesn't show up in my class registration so I'm unable to register for classes for those 2. Does anyone know why this is the case? And should I just keep checking the class registration daily to see if there's any classes?

hii i have been recently searching around and haven’t come across an instagram group chats for freshers yet. Thought it would be a good way to make some friends and get to know each other. Let me know if anyone’s interested‼️

If I start my degree this semester but then decide to pull out before the census date can I then defer my degree until next year or will I lose my spot completely?

Hey guys is there anyone taking MMCC2016 - Sex, Death and Politics, this semester and is looking to swap my Friday 9-10am for Wednesday 9-10am ?

I am currently in my second year and have completed 12 credits. However, I would like to transfer my degree to another course that requires at least 160 credits to complete. If I meet all the requirements in the course transfer requirements table, am I eligible to transfer even though there are not enough spaces available? Can I extend my study time?

Kind regards,

Woke up this morning to the news that my macquarie gmail account has been disabled. Would've called them but it's the weekend.

I'm a new student, I don't see why this would have happened. I had the news that my logins were going to be sanctioned if I failed to provide proof of residency quick enough (which I did as my passport is currently being renewed and will take some time) but I already talked about that with IT. Also it wasn't my gmail that was going to be sanctioned either...

Why is this happening? Should I be worried?

Hi, freshman at university for this year, wondering about government assistance as my course is available for CSP Help. I've done the form for HECS-HELP (Jan1) but it still pending and I have $6800 in outstanding debt. If anyone knows anything about CSP and how it works I'd be highly appreciative. Thanks

Hi, iam a Macquarie inteenatinal student searching for part time jobs Is it necessary to complete the seek pass verification to be called for an applied job in seek. And is it safe to allow visibility for pass obtained? I am first time using seek, please help.

One of the units I need to do doesn’t have a ‘study combination’. Can I enrol into the ones I already have planned and then add that unit after it gets an available study combination or should I/do I have to wait?

Only problem with waiting is that I fear if I leave it too late, I won’t have any spots in tutorials for desirable times.

Hi everyone, I was wondering how well the Bachelor of Media and Comms degree with a major in Interactive Design would set me up for job opportunities as a UX designer.

I have no coding experience whatsoever and while looking through the core units in the handbook, I noticed that there is a couple units that touch on coding languages. Does anyone who has done this degree and major know whether the course + a PACE internship would suffice when searching for UX designer jobs post graduation?

Also, would it be worth doing COMP1000 prior to MMCC2039?

Cheers!

anyone here doing Spanish 1 cause I am

Heyy, how lenient is mq with the prerequisite waivers ? The unit I want to do this semester has a prerequisite to complete 130 units but I’ve only completed 110

Is it possible to get 8000 level units waived at masters degree for international students based on the undergrad degree ?

Are seminars compulsory? I know lectures can be done online, but what about seminars? The ones I have this semester overlap with all my other classes.

Hey,

I want to know the difference between a full year 2 exam start time (June 2nd) as that with just session 1 exam start time (June 10).

If i have a trip on the June 19th-July 7th and is scared I might miss some of my exams, can i apply for special consideration? And take the supplementary exam for it instead when it starts (July 10th).

Thanks

I’m starting a double degree of commerce and law and wish to attend lectures in person because I have been told lecturers keep track of who shows up but all of my lectures for all the subjects are full and no spots have opened up even if it’s been weeks. For a few of my subjects all spots have been full online and in person so how am I ment to do these lectures.

guys last week i was on a website where you could search when the 2025 unit guides came out..anyways i cant find it anymore so can someone give me the link if you know what am talking about..

Hi, anyone in the Tuesday 3-5pm SGTA willing to swap to the Wednesday 5-7pm SGTA, please!

Guys am I straight up cooked? There’s no other available tutorial time at the moment until round 4 people come in most likely, but do I just have to leave my lecture an hour early to get to my tutorial????? That’s so rough

Is it over for me?
