University of Glasgow blether thread

Hey one and all!

I hope you're all enjoying this very "un"-scottish weather!!
I was just wondering whether anyone could tell me where my friend and i could find a beach near glasgow?

I've got 4 exams in 2 days. Does anyone have the link to the registry site stating you should not have more than 3 exams in 2 days. I can't seem to find it.

If so it there anything that can be done about it?

Thanks.

I blacked out on Maryhill Road last night and a woman in the street had to call an ambulance

(And no I hadn't been drinking )

Are you okay? What happened?

I'm OK, thanks Apparently I was dehydrated. I wasn't even thirsty though

I have never blacked out before, I kept coming round and passing out again

I've got an unconditional offer to study economics/business management at University of Glasgow this fall. However, I want to study economics/mathematics instead. I have pretty good grades in math.
What is the best way to change my degree? Try to email glasgow now or wait 'til fresher week?

Just wait until Freshers week. You have to study three subjects in first year anyway, so in all likelyhood you can do economics/business management/mathematics (unless the lectures clash, economics and maths certainly don't, I'm unsure about business management), then drop one as you go into second year

I think in first year economics and business management are just Economics 1A/B anyway

Mind last year there was that poster who didn't want to attend graduation? I'm pretty sure I was one of the ones who rounded on him and, equally, I'm pretty sure I'm in his position now. What was the script with the process he went through, anyone remember?

EDIT: His position as I can't be arsed with the ceremony, not that I've got a fistful of A1s and am pissing off to Strathy to do a PhD.

You have to register to graduate by handing in a form with various details and giving the uni £50 or £60 to 'join the general council'. This is usually during late April or May. Somewhere on the form is an option to graduate in absentia, which allows you to graduate without receiving the degree at the ceremony. Your degree transcript will be posted after the date of the ceremony (some people I know didn't get them for a couple of weeks).

With the introduction of Mycampus, I wouldn't be surprised if they tried doing it electronically this year like the registration process.....
They emailed everyone about graduation in previous years, plus there was detailed information on the graduation section on the registry website.
