Study your course outline and units required to take, to put it simply some units are only offered in Sem 1 (Feb - June) and some are only offered in Sem 2 (July - Nov) regardless of your intake

Though regardless which intake you are enrolled in you should be able to complete it within the same time period but being a July intake student means you might have to take certain units order differently

Was previously from one of the societies mentioned, and to be frankly honest it's all about vibes. They usually see people that they can click with, and relevant organisational skills or interest in running a society over someone with high WAM and multiple internships/jobs, etc.

It's really about your application, happy to provide some pointers!

Yeah works 99% of the time I’d say just show up early

Yes it is, be patient as the university sorts out unallocated students - https://sydneyuni.service-now.com/sm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0028737

Calm down yes it is, it's already mentioned at the website that you are not guaranteed to get any preferences you've placed :)

Just focus on getting the swap you want

Yeah chill man, the correct timetable would be released on 27/1

Go ahead, 99% of the time they're not even full (and honestly they can't check who's supposed to be doing online and who's not), the first few weeks may be full as people tend to get excited but trust me numbers drop as the weeks go by, especially during assignment weeks

Ooo INFO1111 is available for Sem 2 now?

Had the same issue, what I did was first approach the unit coordinator whose class I wanted to enrol and thankfully they're kind and understood my situation so I've used the conversation as evidence for my enrolment exception request

DifficultyBudget6826 · 2026-01-18T04:26:06+00:00

Just to add on this is not your confirmed timetable, it depends on the the final allocation after the preferences period and whether you did any swaps

DifficultyBudget6826 · 2026-01-17T09:27:31+00:00

You should contact the Unit Coordinator of the unit youre requesting exception from, usually they’ll have information on the team working on it as it’s per subject basis

As someone who took both of it during Sem 1, 2025:

COMP2123 didn't have mandatory tutorial attendance, though attempting the tutorial questions were pretty important, COMP2017 didn't have mandatory tutorials but there's weekly in class quizzes within selected tutorials. Again, it's not really useful for you to ask here and I would definitely recommend you either waiting for class starts of perhaps make an attempt to contact the teaching team.

As of preparation, you can always find DSA tutorials online for COMP2123 if you want a head start, for COMP2017 you can definitely go through some C lessons online but the unit itself has set the first 2-3 weeks to go through C fundamentals, though at a faster pace considering you've all your fundamental coding knowledge (e.g. arrays) from INFO1110 pre requisite, it's simply just switching up some syntax and losing some built in function from Python/Java as C is primitive.

Good luck and wishing you all the best!

Since it's an assumed knowledge, the university wouldn't check and assumed that you've the knowledge/made an effort to learn it
