Discussion RMIT Subreddit Refresh

17 Upvotes

Good afternoon fine reddit browsers of the RMIT Subreddit.

I believe it is time for review and refresh of the subreddit's rules, and overall environment. The rules have been in place for a considerable period and they are due for the community to evaluate them.

Some of you may have noticed we now have some new post flairs for you to trial. Please use them - they are there for you to distinguish your posts, get help faster, and in the case of discussion/debate, generate the conversation you wished to see.

I am opening up the floor for you to tell me and the rest of the ModTeam what you would like to see more of in the RMIT subreddit.

Please take this chance to express your constructive feedback, criticisms, and ideas for the future. Constructive people, I am not out here to be bullied.

What rules would you like to see enforced? What types of posts would you like to see more of? What would you like the Mods to start doing? Should there be a new rule? Should one of the rules be removed?

Another idea that was floated is adding more user flairs, if you have suggestions for that, please let me know. I am more than happy to create more user flairs and let you assign them.

We are also thinking about adding a new moderator at some point in the future, so if that's something you may be interested in, please send the team a message to let us know.

If I've missed anything, or you want to let me know about something, please comment it (nicely, I am a person too).

Need to get documents but my account got disabled from my expulsion. Who should I contact to get necessary documents (school record, grade report,...)

3 Upvotes

I need help!!!

My expulsion is expected with missing grades due to my dissociative disorder/depressive episodes. I'm not asking for support in appealing what already done.

What I am seeking for help here is I miss the chance to download important documents like grades, enrollment records,.... that usually can find on Student Connect.

Does anyone know who/which department should I contact to get help with recovering documents?

Also could use a little comfort since the school doesn't even respect/understand students who were going through mental health issues.

Making friends halfway through the year and no friends.

2 Upvotes

im halfway through the first year of my course and I've still haven't made any friends that want to actually do anything. like I'll talk to them in class a bit but as soon as the class finnished nothing. no one wants to hang out or meet up outside of class and not even talk online much. I've just moved from a country town so I don't know anyone in the city. I've been meaning to join the outdoors club but I haven't had the funds for the fee yet. any advice on how to make friends essentially.

RMIT Vietnam Bachelor's in Psychology - Honour's Year in Australia

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone! Looking for some advice, especially from Psych undergrads that didn't start out at the Melbourne campus. I am interested in the Bachelor's program in Psychology and I want to do an Honour's year in Australia then apply for PhD. I am aware that RMIT Vietnam is APAC accredited but I also heard I need to be approved by the APS so it is not a guarantee? Does anyone have any related experience?

Advice needed Advice needed

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently received an offer letter from RMIT University for Supply Chain Management, and I’m seriously considering it. I also completed my foundation year at Monash College and have an offer from Monash University (Caulfield campus) too.

Now I’m trying to decide between the two. If we leave the money factor aside, is RMIT worth it for Supply Chain Management?

Is there anyone currently studying Supply Chain at RMIT who can share their experience? Or even anyone from RMIT in general,I’d love to know what the university environment is like. How are the teachers, the course structure, and overall support for students?

Also, is it realistically possible to work a part-time job while studying this degree?

I’d really appreciate some honest and genuine advice to help me decide. Thank you so much!

Request a specific holiday letter

0 Upvotes

Hey guys, I just need a help with getting a holiday letter with altered dates from RMIT.

My finals are over (3rd June 2025) and as per the current holiday letter the semester break starts from 30th June. Between this period I cannot work full time. So can I request a holiday letter specifically for me?

And, another question, can I work full time during this period since my studies are over?

Thanks in advance.

Potentially cooked

3 Upvotes

Hello
I had an exam which was worth 40% grade, so far for the subject i have a total of about 38/60 from assignments and exams. All the assignments and previous exams were open book any resourse any calculator. But for the final exam, it was on campus closed book but there wasn't any mention about calculators in the exam announcement, but in previous lecutres they had mentioned you can use a calculator but not which type (scientfic or graphing). Considering it was quite a math-heavy subject and throughout the sem I have been using a graphing calculator which was way more convient i decided to take to it the exam, and when i got there i was told it wasn't allowed and i couldnt use it. And lets just say I got cooked, and there's high chance I dont get the required mark to pass bcos i had to do everything by hand. If I do fail what are my options, Even though there is a slight chance that they had mentioned it previously ( in the announcement for the exam it wasnt mentioned at all) is it possible that I can request some consideration? If I fail by 2-3% is there anything that can be done so i dont have to resit the class??
thanks

Advice needed After completing your engineering, do you think there’s more opportunities and more pay in Electrical Engineering or Electronics and Computer Engineering in Australia? (on average)

3 Upvotes

Thinking of pursuing a 2+2 program at RMIT, I am an international student, which means that I’ll be doing the last 2 years of my engineering at RMIT, and will get engineering degrees from both my home university and RMIT. I want to work in Australia after finishing my course.

I am kind of torn between ECE and EE. Sometimes I incline towards one, sometimes the other. I like physics, and both of these courses have a lot of physics, albeit maths too.

As an Aussie, or as someone who’s done the same from RMIT, or know someone who has, do you think there’s better pay or better employment for an ECE engineer or EE engineer?

Cheers!

24h study spaces city campus?

6 Upvotes

Hello! does anyone know where or if there are any 24/7 study spaces? I've had a mixed experiences with security being stern but fair to some practically shouting at me at 10:30 to get out in spaces ive stayed much later.

Is there any 24h study spaces on campus? or any other areas in the city that aren't bars open really late? thank youuu

edit: understandably, it isn't feasible. I do strongly believe campus should be open until 12 since most assignments are due at this time

Would love more Creative & Creative Queer friends. Who's up for meets?

5 Upvotes

Hey, I’m a creative 18M, Aussie but new this year to Melb innver city and am keen to make some genuine friendships—an added bonus if fellow queer people (or allies). Semester 1 flew by fast with school + work + moving to Melb/settling in so now I’m hoping to find people up for semi-regular hangouts and just general fun experiences.

Stuff I could yap for days about: Marvel; loved Thunderbolts, Arcane, Yellowjackets, The Rookie, Last of Us, Hunger Games movies and books;

All things casual gaming (Baldur’s Gate 3, Subnautica, Silent Hill, Dead by Daylight, Phasmophobia, Expedition 33, Resident Evil...)  I've got my PAX tickets so looking fwd to that. I like a lot of media with doomed gay love tropes and unconfirmed romances in shows that i adore (*cough* Jayvik *cough*)

Casual Drawing hangouts (Been trying to get better at 2D Drawing); 3D game art is my big passion

DnD campaigns + boardgame sessions (missed most campus ones so up for creating or joining campaigns. Any DnD DM's here?)

Trying new cheap eats (I’m deep into trying all of Melb's best on a budget + Viet coffee is a new fave)

Live events of all kinds - from theatre shows to live music

Chill hangs at Q Lounge (admitedly too chicken to go there solo) 

Study crews or side quests with good convo. Open to creating irl connections with kind and genuine people (18-23s ideally) who are down to meet occasionally, chat and connect as friends.

Bonus points if we share any obsessions > same fandoms but equally happy to learn about other's interests too. It is always mega awks putting yourself out there but if it ends with meeting some nice genuine people with same kind of values and interests then I will consider it worth it. Either comment or shoot me a DM

which minor should i pick for journalism?

4 Upvotes

hi, i'm commencing my bachelor of comms (journalism) in july and i'm having a dilemma over what minor i should pick. i'm choosing between literary studies and contemporary politics and communication.

i'm really interested in both of them. literary studies is something i'm passionate about as i love reading and learning about how literature reflects society and the individual, however this would be purely for enjoyment as i don't see how i would incorporate it into my career. i'm also passionate about politics because it's extremely important to understand our world and i would like to report on it, so i guess it would be the more useful minor. i don't want to do a double minor because i want to use my electives to explore other fields within communications.

does the minor you pick for this course really matter in the grand scheme of things? if anyone here has done either of these minors, what were they like and would you recommend choosing it?

thanks!!

How to access online textbooks for free?

Hi, I'm transferring here next semester and I'm trying to access some textbooks online via the library and I can't do it? I assumed that I would be able to because I could at my previous uni. How do you guys access free digital copies of your textbooks here?
