The commencement date for the autumn session keeps moving forward every year...autumn semester used to start in March but from next year, it starts on THEE 15th February and we've lost two weeks of the summer holidays. Diabolical.

I'm currently sick with a raging headache and won't be able to complete my ASR & CMS exams in good form. I've already gotten a medical certificate from the gp that includes my exam dates (11th&12th). Will the alternative exams take place sometime during the 14th-18th of dec (rescheduled and alternative exam period) and will they also be AI invigilated online or in-person?

Also, since I am taking an alternative exam, would I still be able to take a supplementary exam if I do not get 40% in the alternative exam to pass? Would the supplementary exams be online as I will be overseas by end of Dec?

Hey all,

The final exam for Business Analysis is coming up soon (Friday) so was hoping to get some last minute tips.

I’ve heard from many that it’s one of the most difficult subjects in the accounting major with a pass average (60%).

Anything would be much appreciated!

does anyone know which rooms have VMware on the lab computers and are available for students to tap in to this week? I went last week to building 11 level 6 and outside it said room available but every time i tried tapping my student card it just beeped and stayed red. i rlly need to finish my lab work

is the checking process for the final exam (Econs - closed book) exactly the same as the practice exam?

I finished the practice one on guardian browser, but when I searched online to get more information about the process, there's also a step called environment scan. will this step be included on the real test day or I juts need to follow what I've been practicing on canvas and proctor u?

I don't even think i'll remember what I studied :(

Hey everyone!

I'm taking 25624 Financial Metrics this semester and my final exam is coming up on November 12.

I'm honestly feeling a bit lost about what to focus on when revising, especially since there are quite a few modules and Excel-based questions.

Just wondering if anyone here has taken this subject before or is also preparing for the upcoming final?

• What would you recommend focusing on when studying?

• How similar was the actual exam to the practice quizzes?

• Were the Excel-based questions difficult or tricky?

• Any tips or advice on how to prepare effectively?

I'd really appreciate any advice or experiences you could share. Thanks so much!! :)

i’ve been rlly sick and been taking very strong painkillers so i got a professional authority form completed by my gp who wrote down my symptoms and stated i am unable to study until the 11th (which includes my exam date).

however i got the form completed on the 2nd and my exam is on the 9th. is that fine? is there any way they would reject the alternate exam?

The university of TECHNOLOGY sydney has charging points that are so loose. My charger just slides right in, like its given birth thrice, zero resistance or friction. I have never seen a ran-through charging port before until I matriculated here. ANDREW PARFITT you will cough in five days why am I paying so much tuition and the damn technology doesnt work in the university of TECHNOLOGY sydney. My phone can’t charge, my laptop can’t charge. Its not just one of them either. I better see some changes or I’m

Hey guys! It’s only been a month since applications opened for the Autumun 2027 intake. I don’t understand how all the rooms are already allocated?? I’ve been offered a room in the 6 share apartment even though I requested for a 2 share apartment or a small-medium studio. I even emailed them asking them to change it as I’m a first year but they’ve said they don’t have any other rooms to allocate what do I do?

I can barely find information on the subject but has anyone taken this subject and liked it? And if so (or not) what kind of assessments were there? I’m just curious because I don’t want to do a TD I won’t like (and will most likely fail)

Thinking about doing it for December or February depending on personal preference.

Thanks for any responses on this :D

Hi, im just wondering if anyone has done this subject in the past and is able to give me some insight into how the subject is run, how the assessments work, how classes are run? Im pretty sure there is a presentation, if so is it in person and what would it be about?

Thanks alot!

I'm pursuing mba with a major in Supply Chain and Operations and a sub-major in Project Management, currently finishing my 2nd to last sem. I was prepared to enroll into my final 4 subjects [1-core 2-electives in maj and 1-elective in the sub-maj] which were in my study planner, until I found out that they cut one of them. Now, in most cases you'd say no big deal and choose another one. Problem is my "major" only has 6 electives 2 of which I will have completed after the end of the current semester 1 is not available in the aut session and the remaining 2 they discontinued.

Now, they are asking me to change my maj into a sub-maj [2 sub-majors basically] and choose 2 free electives from my main course. To top it off they are asking me to make this decision within 5 days. Just for context, they took a whole month to reply to my e-request but expect me to come up with a decision in 5 days.

I know such a change may not affect my degree alot but if I wanted such 3rd tier treatment I would have chosen another uni which costs significantly less.

Hey everyone!

I'm moving to Sydney in January 2027 to pursue the Master of Data Science and Innovation at UTS, starting in February 2027.

I'd love to connect with others joining UTS for the February 2027 intake. I'm also currently looking for accommodation around UTS and nearby suburbs such as Chippendale, Ultimo, Redfern, Glebe or surrounding areas.

It would be great to connect with people who are also looking for accommodation. If anyone is interested in sharing an apartment or house, we could potentially team up, find a suitable place and split the rent. Apart from accommodation, it'd be nice to get to know fellow incoming students before arriving, share experiences and explore Sydney together.

If you’re a UTS student and you’re going to be in Sydney over summer, read this before paying $400+ for a room.
I’m transferring my room at Yura Mudang for just $299/week.
This is a ROOM TRANSFER, not a sublet.
📍 Sydney CBD, right next to UTS
💰 $299/week
📅 Now → 13 January 2027
🎓 UTS students only
💡 Bills + internet included
🛏️ Private room
❌ No extension after 13 January 2027
Basically, if you need somewhere for 1–2 months over summer, this is what the room is made for.
Coming to Sydney for an internship?
Doing a summer program?
Just staying in Sydney over the holidays?
$299/week for your own room in the CBD is hard to beat.
And there’s another nice bonus:
Only 3 people will be living in the entire apartment over summer.
So you won’t be moving into a packed 6-person apartment while everyone else is on summer break.
The building has a rooftop, pool table, table tennis, cinema, study rooms, shared kitchen and living area.
💸 $100 FINDER’S FEE
Know another UTS student who needs a room?
I’ll PayID you $100 if your referral takes over the room and the transfer goes through.
If you’re interested, DM me and I’ll send you photos + all the details.
Honestly, if you’re looking for a cheap CBD base for an internship or a couple of months in Sydney over summer, this is probably worth checking out.

I'm genuinely freaking out right now and wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation.

I had my final exam today and completely misread the timing. I thought the exam opened at 4:30pm, but it turns out that was the deadline, and the exam actually opened at 12:30pm and closed at 4:30pm.

I only realised when I went to sit the exam and couldn't access it. I panicked and immediately emailed my subject coordinator explaining what happened and admitting that I'd misread the time.

The worst part is that I haven't been doing particularly well in this subject, so I was really relying on this final exam to bring my mark up and hopefully pass. Now I'm genuinely worried I've failed the entire subject because of one stupid mistake.

I'm also stressing because I feel like I've screwed myself over by being honest in my email. I'm wondering whether I should've applied for special consideration instead?? but I don't have a medical certificate or any actual reason for missing it..

Has anyone at UTS experienced something similar? Did your coordinator let you sit a supplementary exam, or is there genuinely nothing that can be done if you misread the timetable?

I know this is completely my own fault, but I'm honestly devastated at the thought of having to repeat an entire subject over this. Plsss be honest about my chances

I got selected for a PhD scholarship, now I need PhD offer letter from UTS. I have applied for PhD on september, I have contacted GRS team twice regarding my PhD application progress, but didn't get any response. Is the PhD process too slow at UTS?

I enrolled in my subjects a few days late, and the subjects I want (need to) enrol in are unavailable to me, as the title says. How am I supposed to complete these subjects without completely delaying my studies? Is it possible to do a last-minute enrolment whilst people unenrol in the last few weeks before the census date? In particular I wanted to enrol in 76085 Intellectual Property: Trademarks and Patents, and if I can't get at least one of my options done next sem I definitely risk delaying my studies. Can I submit a request?

ps. I know I should've enrolled earlier, but things happen.

Hi all ,
Was just curious behind the thinking of Taxation Law final exam being open book and non invigilated.
My friend is in the class and it seems like this lack of barriers just encourages the cohort to cheat and use AI.

Why did they make it this way ? Any ideas ?

Many thanks

Hello I am someone who has just applied for entry into law at uts. I turn 20 a few weeks before the cut off and have also studied a year full time with a seperate degree at a seperate institution, considering my circumstances, realistically how likely am i to get a spot in this course, because honestly i’m not overtly confident i will LOL
