    Anyone going for S2Y, S2X, 2D, 2F, 2E and 2T (all second semester courses)? I can't enrol for these as 2T, S2Y and S2X clash.

    I think I'll only be having 9am starts on Monday/Friday and then only Friday in semester 2.

    :excited:

    Perhaps. It's my second year classes though.

    Maybe this means I'm not allowed in Freshers' Week, even though it's my first year at Glasgow

    I missed Freshers' Week last year ... :sad:

    mmm I'm not too sure.. wouldn't make sense as freshers is really for you're first year at Glasgow uni and technically this is How many lectures? I've got 3 (1 for each class)

    Not as "crazy" as Murano and nicer to live in.

    I don't think you're allowed actually, it has a question on the FAQ saying "I withdrew from uni last year, can I go again?" and it says only if you're repeating first year, so sounds unlikely. Could buy one and kid on you had no idea though?



    Did anyone do politics and can tell me if it's all right or not? Thinking of doing 1A to make up my last 20 credits. The only things that fit so far are politics and Celtic Civilisation

    Yeah enrolling is a bit of a ****...

    I hate how they've batched lectures/tutorials together in the same selection area thing...

    We had introductory lectures in Freshers' for our first year, and another one this year.

    Tbh pretty much the only thing I actively took part in during Freshers' was the introductory lectures. I didn't go out at night at all. Made lots of friends and had a good wander round Fresher's fair getting free pens and learning about societies though

    Three, but might be more once they've updated class times for English Language.

    Dear Arcadia
    Freshers week is organised by the SRC and I have copied them in. I do think that as a student new to Glasgow you will be very welcome to attend.
    Regards.

    I did love Freshers' Fair. I used my 'Glasgow University Library' pen for months. I felt a bit lost when it ran out really

    We should arrange another TSR meet for some point during Freshers week. Last years one didn't really work, but we had a couple of others throughout the year.

    I'm so confused with this mycampus thing..
    I got an email with my username and password..
    I logged on, changed my password, I'm now trying to get onto the 'my registration' bit which is on the right handside, but it won't let me on??
    When I click it opens a new tab and says 'contacting site' with 'if this takes longer than 10 seconds click here' which it does, so I click it and nothing happens and then after another couple of minutes it goes to an error page.. which says 'Failure of server APACHE bridge'
    It did this yesterday too??
    It does the same thing if I click on any of the other things like 'My Student Center' or 'My Personal Information'

    Anyone have any ideas?

    Have you tried leaving it for longer than 10 seconds/using a different browser?

    I've tried leaving it longer, but I'll go try a different browser...
    TO GOOGLE CHROME.

    (that is a different browser right?)

    Chrome works for me.

    If you were using Internet Explorer then you completely deserve the problems you've been having
