You have missed enrollment for the upcoming semester as it starts next week but you have until late May to make your mind up.
From what I can see there are no course requirements to apply (ATR, or STAT results)
However you must have completed 4 units with a GPA of 4.0 or better to be eligible for a HECS supported place. As you are just starting there are other payment options.
Oh ok. So say I did 4 units of anything, and paid for those myself, I would be eligible for HECS for that course?
Well I would do the 4 units (subjects) that count towards the degree via FEE-Help what ever the hell that is or pay cash (not sure that is viable as for me each subject is $1100). Then once that is done apply via HECS. The OUA online chat is really helpful and they can point you in the right direction. You have until May 20 to enroll for study period 2.
There is no such thing as HECS anymore. It's been rebranded as HELP (Higher Education Loan Programme).
With Open Uni you can put all the units onto this (even if you're not enrolled into the course/degree), so you don't have to fork out the cash up front. Undergraduate unit costs range from $750 - $1400 per unit. So it adds up quickly.
Best thing to do is enrol in units that are part of the course (degree) you wish to do and then once you've done enough (I think it's 4 as previously mentioned) you can apply to be accepted into the course.
PM if you've got any questions, I have just finished my Bachelor of Accounting through Open Uni.

Ok cool. Sounds good. I'll probably shoot you a PM later on.
•The Higher Education Contribution Scheme (HECS), as HELP was first known, was introduced in 1989, and the scheme is still commonly referred to as ‘HECS’ and debts as ‘HECS debts’.
•In 2003, there were major reforms to higher education, including significant changes to HECS. These reforms were legislated by the Higher Education Support Act 2003 and came into effect in 2005. Additional loan types were added and the program was renamed the Higher Education Loan Program (HELP). HECS was absorbed into HELP and is now referred to as HECS-HELP. The Government also extended the income contingent loan schemes to domestic students paying full fees (FEE-HELP) and for those studying overseas for one or two semesters (OS-HELP).
There is literally no physical way I can get home tonight without experiencing lengthy delays/roadworks/road closures.
This gives me the shits even more.
Not a great day for our roads today. Add in the Clipsal delays and as well as the race to the end of financial year council spends on roadworks and well good luck adelaide.
Read my reply. It is directed at you because you have double standards

I've avoided thinking about it too much but with the requirement for teachers to have a Masters degree by about 2020 I think it is, a lot of teachers at my school started theirs this year or last year. I work in special ed so what exactly I'll do will be based on that
My girlfriend got hit by this aswell FC trying to get home from work as it's just down the road from her house. Just got home from footy training to read her message about it, usually it takes her less than 5 minutes to get home instead it took her half an hour today. She said the traffic was banked up all along North East Road while Lyons Road was shut off, sounded like a real headf**k during peak hour traffic.
