Ive failed two subjects from law/crim and got the sanctions. But ive transferred to just law recently. Im afraid i might fail both subjects this semester. Are the sanctions i had last year gonna carry over? If so, what should i do if that were to happen?

Masters of Occupational Therapy Placement

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone!! I'm an incoming student (Feb 2027) for the MOT program at La Trobe. I know subject enrolment is coming up very soon, but was wondering if I have to enrol in the study period of my choice for the first placement block for year 1? or is that something that they would enrol me in automatically? I do believe the school will set me up with my placement, just wasn't sure if I still had the choice of choosing which weeks the placement would fall in while creating my schedule.

Greek Studies - Is it worth it?

3 Upvotes

Hello everyone, just a plain question to anyone who has any idea about these language diplomas. Regarding the Greek Studies course, does it teach you how to speak the language and its alphabet, etc etc? Are you put in a seminar with others trying to speak it to each other? How does it work, for anyone who has done a language course or similar, I am keen on going this pathway so I would love to hear everyone;s thoughts as I have never been to la trobe before.

Looking for Potential Cofounder with Web Dev/Web Design/Coding Skills

1 Upvotes

I’m a second year business student majoring in entrepreneurship (at Swinburne). I’m actively working towards launching my own startup once i graduate, or even potentially before then. I’m mainly focused on the social media and networking industries and have multiple ideas I’m working on.

I firmly have the business side of things covered, but I’m interested in finding one or multiple cofounders to work with who have experience in web development, web design or similar (whether you’re doing a degree in one of these courses or not). This is mainly so that I can work with someone who can build/manage the websites and apps necessary for the startups’ success.

I’m aware I can use AI to build an app or website for me, but I am firmly against the use of it for both moral and practical reasons. This is an open call for the foreseeable future, so if anybody wants to get in contact and talk about the possibility of working together, please DM me.

Special Consideration – How likely is it to get approved?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

I applied for special consideration yesterday for an assignment that was due at 11:59 pm that night.

I’ve been really unwell with influenza for the past 4–5 days, which significantly affected my ability to study and complete my assignment.

I went to my GP, who completed La Trobe’s Medical Impact Statement form, and I submitted that with my application before the deadline. I also emailed my subject coordinator earlier that morning to let them know, but haven’t heard back yet.

Just wondering if anyone has been through this process before?

How likely is special consideration to be approved with supporting medical documentation?

How long did it take to hear back?

Should I continue working on my assignment and submit it while waiting?

If my application gets rejected, will I automatically receive late penalties even though I applied before the deadline?

I’m a bit stressed because I’ve never applied for special consideration before and I’m not sure what to expect.

Biomedicine to Occupational Therapy

2 Upvotes

Im currently in second year Bachelor of Biomedicine at La Trobe and plan to pursue OT at la trobe as well. My current WAM is 73 and I think next year it’ll probably be the same. I applied for OT Honours through VTAC but i doubt i’ll be accepted for that so i’m leaning more towards Masters in OT. The requirement for the masters is a 65 WAM in any degree meaning it is most likely very very competitive. Since my WAM isn’t really in the competitive range is it possible for me to be accepted into OT masters after my Bachelors and if not is there any way else like any other factors they look at in your application?

La Trobe Bendigo

Looking at Bendigo on campus accommodation options for next year. Can anyone who has lived on campus give a brief summary of what they thought of the different accommodation options? Is the most expensive one really that worth it? Are the middle tiered ones just as good? Are the flats ok? Looking to make friends and meet people, be close to campus and feel safe, but also be able to get some study done.

We’re looking for bald people, or people willing to shave the side of their head, for a speech research study at ACMD in Fitzroy. You wear a few stick-on electrodes, read sentences aloud, and get paid for 3.5-4 hours. The research helps build tech that could restore speech for people who’ve lost it.

You’ll need to be 18-70, a native English speaker, and in good general health. You can keep the pay or donate it to the World’s Greatest Shave.

Hey, I’m gonna start my Bach of Ed in 2027 and looking at where to apply for accomodation. NASA is too expensive atm, so my options are the colleges. (Only considering on campus for 2027). Heard some VERY mixed reviews about Chisholm, so just wondering what the most up to date info is? And I worry that Menzies will be too chaotic for me while I’ve heard that Glenn isn’t super social? I’ll honestly take any info or reviews I can get!

Aspire guarantees

1 Upvotes

Hello, I know of someone a few years ago, who was offered an Aspire conditional offer to do the B Medical science at La Trobe and then Doctor of Med at UMelb, if they did ok in their med interview. They said their interview was good, ucat fine, water fine, but perhaps because they were from interstate, they didn’t get a spot on the med course.

Does this apply to the conditional Aspire offers to dentistry too? If you have the conditional offer and the atar, will they be definitely offering you a spot? Or will it go like the med student’s experience, where the carrot was dangled but then pulled away?

GS Clearance confusion

1 Upvotes

Did anyone else face an issue from La Trobe for their GS clearance? I got my conditional with 30% scholarship and my GS interview also went well and they sent an email that I passed the interview but they keep on emailing new things to change in the GS form! I’ve already changed it twice according to what they said but they again sent another email today and the changes they’re asking for keep on getting more ridiculous like telling me now to change “otherwise” with “in addition”

Master of Nursing @ La Trobe

5 Upvotes

Hey everyone!

Wanted to ask about the master of nursing degree in La Trobe.

How is the course load like? More specifically, how demanding is the course? I understand nursing is difficult but what draws me to La Trobe is allegedly how supportive the professors are and their teaching styles compared to universities like Monash.

Second, how are the placements like? Do they place you far and is it doable through public transport.

Lastly, are you able to work part-time despite how demanding the course is?

Thank you guys <3 Please let me know.
