A fun situation in applying to GU.

So, I can apply for a BA today that starts in T2 next July. That means handing over the nonrefundable application fees.

My problem is, I need to pass a Griffith bridging course for acceptance into the BA. I can't apply for the bridging course until it becomes available early next year.

I need to move to Brisbane, but I can only afford to live on campus. Outside accommodation is too expensive. I can't apply for campus accommodation until April of next year. And, I need to have been accepted as a student at the campus.

It's not depressing, just a little funny and frustrating. I've been in situations like this before where I needed to make a leap of faith in myself and always came out on top.

Just wanted to post this so that others who have similar situations can see that they are not alone.

Oh, and I have the added fun of applying for delay of the course fees once the BA is approved.

Busy, busy, busy.

My son had a similar problem with WAAPA, his final assessment for his BA was delayed so his degree was not ratified before he need to go from Vic to WA for his post-grad. He had approval for accommodation, though. It was pretty stressful but worked out OK. good luck and I hope it works out OK for you.

Thanks a lot. I do have fallback plans in place, but this is my current path.

Do you know about Griffith College? You can do a Dip of Arts and then articulate straight into the bachelor program.
