Maybe its my bias towards Biochem, or maybe it's the fact that we got half of the questions prior to the actual test, but I found this test oddly satisfying. Everything seemed clear and concise. How did you guys find it?
The average fart weighs roughly three hundredths of a gram.
For all the fresh meat: (retrieved from Otago's website)
"Course approval will take place on the following dates:
Students in Dunedin from Monday 16 February may check with individual departments to see if they can complete course approval earlier.
- Friday 20 February 2009
- Monday 23 February 2009
- Tuesday 24 February 2009
Note: Students who complete course approval after 24 February will be charged a late course approval fee."
Go on the last day. I went on the last day and there was no one at the course approval desks. Waiting in line to get my ID card was very short -5min at the most.
Have some form of identification ready, like your driver's licence, or else they'll send you away and you'll have to wait in line all over again.
What are we med students meant to do with course approval?
I tried looking for a thread, but it doesn't really seem to fit anywhere...
Just for confirmation: there's no way course approval can be done online?
Also, is it advisable to go on the 18th and/or 19th (course approval is 15th, 18th and 19th Feb 2013) rather than the 15th? Just trying to organize flights here and I'm not sure if I should rush back for the first course approval or just relax and come for the 18th or 19th...

I'm assuming you're doing HSFY next year. Regardless, there'll be a line during course approval, so either go early or go later in the day. I'm not quite sure how prepared you are to come down to Dunedin to do course approval and travel back home, so just come when you're ready to start your stay here proper.
Then again, I've done some ridiculous successive weekend trips to queenstown to polish up my shitty shredding skills.
No, I don't think you can do course approval online because you need signatures.

Just random extra stuff:
Not sure if I'm remembering correctly, but I swear there was a certain date that HSFYers were supposed to do course approval on out of the three course approval dates.
Also, the lines were really long if you went early in the morning. If I recall correctly, I went at about 11 am and there was no line for course approval; there was just a super long line for getting your IDs.
Just remember that you don't actually have to get your ID on course approval dates, pretty sure you can get it later in the year because the ID card office is still there after course approval. It's just handy to get it earlier so you can reap the benefits of having a student ID (discounts at random stores like Kmart, warehouse stationary)
Double post, sorry! I wanted to delete that other post but I can't ><
I haven't heard from anyone that there's a certain date that HSFY has to do course approval... I better ask around though. Has anyone else heard this? It might just be another psych-the-other-people-out scheme, heh I hope...
Fair enough. Thanks for the advice!

Course approval is generally an in-person process, unless you're a distance learning student (which, as a health sci, you won't be) in which case it's a "send back in the mail" process.Just for confirmation: there's no way course approval can be done online?
My bad, I think it was the thing about the surnames that my brain was trying to remember.I haven't heard from anyone that there's a certain date that HSFY has to do course approval...

I think some people in my class may have sent their form back in the mail for Med2 course approval, but I did it in person anyway because I was here really early.
I'm given to understand that from Med3 onwards, course approval might be done automatically for us... But don't worry about that just yet

Also, I have no intention to psych anyone out
IIRC this year everyone with surnames starting with like, A-K or something like that went on one day, and everyone else went on the next day, and I think we got told that if you went on the wrong day you'd get turned away.
As epikness said, health scis have to get a certain signature, and on the three allocated days (first one for surnames in the first half of the alphabet, second one for second half of the alphabet, and third one for catch up) the advisers who give said signatures are located in a convenient location, whereas if you do it beforehand you have to hunt people down, potential in their office in the chemistry building or something, to get the signature, which makes your life more difficult.
Towards late January you'll be sent an information pack saying exactly this, so I'd say the main reason you haven't heard this from anyone is that it's a self-explanatory process with detailed information sheets provided by the university, and you haven't said "okay tell me exactly when and what happened when you went for course approval".

OK, so seeing my surname is between A - K, likelihood is that I'll have to be back by the 15th, which is the first day of Course approval... Does anyone have a vague idea of the time it ranges from on that day? My flight actually arrives 1.30pm on the 15th, so it's going to be a pain up my arse either way.
Thanks Cathay! Sounds like I'll have to make it back for the first day of course approval regardless...
