    Started this last time it was on here, was it was surprisingly technical so I never finished to not blemish my already questionable academic record.

    • IVI on 21/11/2018 - 17:56

      Is there a $44 student fee?

      (Someone at uTas said there is…
      "but you can put it on HECS [debt]")

      PS You'll get access to Kanopy
      (Any1 know: Usage restrictions?)

      "Like NetFlix" but Free, for, eg:

      "The Great Courses" [not yet incl'g] "NUCLEAR PHYSICS explained"
      by Larry Weinstein. If u're into NUCLEAR ENERGY for AU, view it)

      CBC doco's

      some movies

      (You can see/search Kanopy's catalog
      before gaining access to streaming.)

      "What? No FitBit for my Apple Tree?"

      Nope.

      Let's hope their Internet feed
      doesn't get cut like last time ;~)

      • Katie2014 on 21/11/2018 - 18:40

        If it's the Student Services and Amenities Fee, it should be waived for the unit:

        Students will also receive a waiver for the Student Services and Amenities Fee (SSAF).

        (From the 'Fees and Scholarships' section at the link)

          Thanks, Kate.

          It was so for the "Fitbit course" a few years back.

  • alvian on 20/11/2018 - 14:09

    And with your utas.edu.au address you will have access to Office 365 (5 installs IIRC) and 1 TB OneDrive storage for a couple of years. And you can get a student card (if you can be bothered) and avail yourself to student discount offers.

    • Mibo on 21/11/2018 - 14:09

      I have 5TB of OneDrive storage with my utas account.
      You can also get a free copy of Windows 10 Education with the utas email.

    • IVI on 21/11/2018 - 19:29

      IMO, Office 365 is no great advantage.

      I preder to Buy software, not Rent it.

      ("You don't Buy beer, you Rent it" :who?)

  • issachar on 20/11/2018 - 14:16

    can i enroll this course and get concession on opal?

    • alvian on 20/11/2018 - 14:18

      No because you are not considered a full time tertiary student, but I don't know if Opal works with UTas to check your study load.

      Proof of tertiary concession entitlement requirements

      • IVI on 21/11/2018 - 19:32

        Is it possible to fill out a Full Time course load,
        with several "Free" elements, across several areas?

        • alvian on 21/11/2018 - 20:19

          I don't know, sorry, but possibly not with this deal as UTas enrolment has closed for 2018 except for this one course.

  • soupiejr on 20/11/2018 - 14:45

    So, how does one go about enrolling for this? It's been a while since I've actually done any uni work :)

      You click the "Go to Deal" button under the thumbnail and then click the big red "Apply Now" button. Click the "New Applicants" button and fill in your personal info.

    Can I use this as a credit for a different university where I have a few elective subjects?

      Hi, this is your university asking why you posted to Ozbargain instead of us.

        Cause I trust ozbargainer's more than the 17 year old girl painting her nails, at the University Student Association Office

        • Kajain on 20/11/2018 - 21:28

          If you're talking to Ruby-Joe 'Starshine' Smith about enrolments you're in the wrong place. However, I'm wondering the same thing as I have one free elective left. This would be a pretty good way to fill it.

          • downbythecreek on 21/11/2018 - 11:21

            @Kajain: Depends what university, some require you to apply for credit at the time of first enrolment. Give it a crack though.

            • pdtmathieson on 22/11/2018 - 08:35

              @downbythecreek: Depends on the university whether they acknowledge that UTAS is of a similar quality and workload as the university you are trying to get credit at. With unis that have a lot of movement between them, they identify 'equivalent' units, while sometimes you get miscellaneous credits which act as electives. Between some universities though, they scale down the value of the other universities units. As an example, I did a semester overseas, where I did four units, but Monash Uni determined they were only worth three of their units, which was bullshit but no recourse apparently.

            • IVI on 06/12/2018 - 11:10

              @downbythecreek: What? When you know the Least about the system?!?

  • TheDukeOfNukem on 20/11/2018 - 15:37

    My last student ID (with a fake name) from these guys ends in January, so I might need to grab another one, let's hope this will be enough. Cheers!

    • isthisreallife22 on 20/11/2018 - 21:35

      How long does it last and how do you know when its going to expire?

    UTas now give a free subscription to The Mercury and associated newspapers to all students as well.

    • isthisreallife22 on 20/11/2018 - 16:49

      If this includes The Australian, Courier Mail etc, will have to register for that with the UTAS account I have from a previous course

      Edit: it very well seems that it does, very pleased with this!

    • IVI on 21/11/2018 - 19:36

      Electronic or Paper edition(s)…?

      • isthisreallife22 on 22/11/2018 - 01:05

        Digital but those papers all have paywalls up on most articles so great for me

        • IVI on 06/12/2018 - 11:11

          Wasn't there a Deal (a while back), that showed a way to hop-over paywalls?

    and you can use your UTAS email for unidays membership

  • Blue Cat on 20/11/2018 - 23:32

    So how do I actually join?
    All I see is fees and an email form if you are an international student.
    Do I have to apply through phone or email?

  • star-ggg on 20/11/2018 - 23:47

    Does this come with a free iPad?

    • IVI on 21/11/2018 - 19:38

      A $5 shovel, in choice of color, if you don't have one.
      Shipping is a killer, however.

      OK OK So, I'm kidding…

  • djk on 21/11/2018 - 08:34

    Thanks for posting Katie!
    I thought HECS was a loan that you repaid when you started earning an income above a certain threshold. But then last time I had anything to do with HECS it was protesting it's introduction. Anyone know off hand if you repaid a HECS debt the first year of it's existence (yep, I'm that old, lol) are you eligble for a HECS scholarship? Thanks.

    • INFIDEL on 21/11/2018 - 09:53

      Enrolled in a Health Tech module with HECS scholarship. That came with free Fitbit😉
      Had previous HECS debt paid off. Had no issues.

      • djk on 22/11/2018 - 09:00

        Thanks :)

    • alvian on 21/11/2018 - 14:21

      HECS was a loan

      Higher Education Contribution Scheme is not a loan. HECS-Higher Education Loan Program is a loan scheme (that you have to repaid through the tax system). This course provides a HECS Scholarship, which repays the entire HECS fee incurred from your enrolment.

      You will be eligible for HECS Scholarship if you meet the eligibility requirements. Prior repayment of HECS is not part of the requirements.

      Three different things going on here. A fee, a loan and a fee waiver.

      • djk on 22/11/2018 - 09:01

        Thanks for that it was different when it started :)

  • UndeclaredFreak on 04/12/2018 - 09:51

    Did anyone enrol in this? I did, got accepted etc, but I can’t for the life of me figure out how to enrol in that unit. Help please :)

    • INFIDEL on 05/12/2018 - 09:33

      I couldn't understand how to enrol in the
      unit & gave up.
      If UTAS makes it that hard to understand enrollment, I don't think I'd like studying there. (I've lectured at Uni.)

      • IVI on 06/12/2018 - 11:16

        I - for one - am Not terribly impressed with the web app's that make-up the enrollment system, here.

        Who (outside uTas) is the one to send Complaints to, eg, on that?

        PS If there's to be an IQ test given to get in, it should have been disclosed… ;-)

  • IVI on 06/12/2018 - 11:24

    How come No One seems to know about Kanopy ("like NetFlix, but Free" ie for Doco's, CBC, some of TheGreatCourses.com.au's courses…

    I'd like them (ie, Kanopy) to add the Excellent: "Nuclear Physics explained" …so folks can learn more about Nuclear Energy (incl'g Liquid-Fuel Molten Salt Reactors (MSR)).

    Folks in Easrern states (esp'ly Qld) seem to have No Idea (Qld is shown in Black on EletricityMap.org = app "EletricityMap" due to all the Toxic Coal they insist on burning there, NSW is similar… & Vic isn't much better.

    Qld's Coal miners are STILL getting Black Lung disease! "KNOW New Nukes, Qld!"

    • INFIDEL on 06/12/2018 - 21:20

      Strangely this deal is about a course in gardening!

      • IVI on 07/12/2018 - 07:56

        Others have noted "perks" that come with being a student… (See early Comments, to this Deal).

        Kanopy is such a perk.

        I was commenting on UTAS staff's tendency not to know of Kanopy, when asking how to access it (after all of the enrollment tasks were completed)…

        …giving anyone with similar interests a heads-up on a gap (AFAIK) in Kanopy's coverage of TheGreatCourses.com.au courses, in an Important area.

        (If you don't get why it could be Important, check-out COP24, now in progress… and maybe Climate Change, as applicable. ;-)

        I hope that helps…
