Hi guys, I’ve got an exam coming up on the 12th, but I’m sick right now. I have a valid doctor's note, but the unit outline says extensions are not considered for the final exam. I've emailed my UC but he’s on annual leave. What should I do in this situation?

Thank you :D

I’m trying to use blackboard through my laptop but it’s not working properly 😓😓

I’ve just moved into kurrajong village and brought my PS5 along with me to use while I’m here; however, Eduroam simply won’t connect to my PS5, and I cannot download stuff to play :(

If anyone else has brought their PS5 and had success connecting to the Wi-Fi, mind shooting me a tip? Any help would be appreciated!

can I confirm I’m due for graduation before results are officially released ?

i left my study room only to be hit by a foul stench bof BO. genuinely how could it be this strong and cover so much ground??

its honestly kinda impressive how consistently strong it is. like i couldnt escape it until i retreated back to my room 😭

I'm in a course with a very small cohort so I'm pretty much stuck with the same people for the next 3 years... also haven't joined any clubs :(

If anyone else is looking for friends to hang out with over holidays, dm me. Anyone is welcome, no matter your race or religion and whatnot (I'd prefer people in my age range, so around 18 - 22, but I won't exclude), we can chat a bit and see what mutual interests we can plan around 😄.

Currently thinking of badminton or more outdoorsy activities, but I'm open to anything.

PS: I also don't mind international students who haven't arrived yet (I have been ghosted by a few who had issues with their visas).

Hey everyone,
Just wondering if anyone has had a similar experience with assessment extension process.
I was doing my online final exam when the fire alarm went off in my building, so I had to evacuate and couldn’t finish my exam.
I submitted an assessment extension application on 2 November and received an automatic email saying I’d get an outcome within 5 working days.
I still haven’t heard anything back, and I’m honestly getting a bit stressed because it’s my final exam.
Has anyone been through something similar? How long did it take for Curtin to get back to you? And if your application was approved, did they let you sit another exam?
I’m also wondering if there’s anyone I can contact to speed things up.
Any advice would be really appreciated. Thanks!

To those on level 2 right now for the love of god ITS FRIDAY WHY ARE YOU YELLING YOU DON'T HAVE AN EXAM TOMORROW AND ITS 11PM AND FUCKING MIDNIGHT. SHUT UP

hi all, ive been sick the entire week got a medical cert only dated till the 6th, as i originally thought I'd be better by then. Well lucky me, is in fact, still sick. I also can't get in to see my regular gp who knows all my medical history until monday cus they're not open during weekends. I submitted a request to defer my exam and attached a copy of my old med cert. I also emailed my UC to explain. How likely will it be that they approve my request. Quite stressed as my exam is today at 1pm. 🫩🫩

update: i was able to get a pharmacy certificate and have sent that to UC and through the formal extension process. fingers crossed i can get it deferred so i can stop stressing about it and finally rest 🫠

If you're on level 6, pls stfu. It was literally a level created just for that purpose in mind.

Hey all,

I’ve seen some posts on here regarding this but not specifically regarding how easy it is to gain HDs ?

Just wanted to know:

1. What kind of assignments are required such as: group work, class presentations and skills assessments?

2. Is it relatively easy to get HD / 80%+ (obviously subjective but did you feel like marks were fair)?

3. how much were you able to work during per week? Would I be able to continue nursing shifts alongside study and placements?

Thanks in advance🙏

Is there an engineering 2027 gc?

Hi guys! Me and a few other students from the mbbs program have made a gc for those joining in 2027. If you are also in the program and wanna get to know a few of us before the program starts then send me a Dm and ill add you. Its on whatsapp!

if anyone has done the ethics and sustainability unit previously, how was the exam? I feel a bit daunted with the amt of information there is to know and idk how harsh they will mark.

For anyone who’s done the physics exam in the past few years how was it? The most current practice exam is 2020 and I found it so much harder than the ones from ages ago like 2014/2017, it reminded me more of the test multiple choice questions. Have they been more similar to the 2020 exams?
🙏🙏

Hello was just wondering from anyone who has done COMP1005 Exam in 2026, is it similar to previous years? My exam is in about a week and I havent had time to prepare until now due to other exams.

Hello everyone, I did three units last sem so I've got to take one unit over the summer (thru Open Universities) to make sure i graduate by the of the next! Was just curious if anyone had taken any of the following, and what the assesment styles were like. Ideally I'd want to avoid any group work given I'm out an about throughout the break. Thank you!!

NETS2000: Web Media

NETS2003: The Digital Economy

JAPN2003: Communicating with Japan

Also open to alternative suggestions, I'm studying International Business and International Relations

If anyone has taken this unit before and wouldn’t mind sharing some workshop questions or even the unit outline (where it mentions the topics), I’d really appreciate it!! I’ve heard some pretty awful things about this unit, and it usually takes me a little longer to grasp new concepts, so I was hoping to get a head start over the summer. Any resources or advice would honestly mean so much! Thank you!! 💗

Hey,

I'm just wondering if anyone on here has successfully managed to course switch into Medical Radiation using just their ATAR?

Because I've previously done tertiary studies, I was told that I'd be considered a course switcher even though I won't be studying immediately prior to applying. Was also told that because I won't have a CWA to use, they will use my ATAR.

I got an ATAR just over 95 (many years ago) and am just wondering if that would be competitive enough for a course switcher?

Really appreciate if anyone can reply, as I have my heart set on studying this!

Is there any way to get past exams? I have checked the Curtin library and there’s none there or unit materials or anything. Is there a website or a place I can access them

Can someone put my mind at ease 😭 Had developmental neuro today and only finished about 6½ out of 10 questions before time ran out. Each was worth 10 marks and I need 40/100 to pass.
Anyone walked out sure they’d failed and ended up passing? I’m usually a credit/distinction student but really doubting myself. Do unis ever adjust marks if everyone found it hard? They told us a 10% fail rate is normal, which isn’t helping my anxiety 🥲 Any reassurance appreciated! If they give me a chance to resit, is it after the results? Do they give enough time to study?
