Hey guys, I'm looking for 2 kind people to grab course content for previous courses I've completed. If you are kind enough to let me download the lecture slides and labs from these 2 courses would be much appreciated. I have already completed these courses but I did not download the content and now regret it. I am completing Data Structures and Algorithms this semester and feel these 2 courses will help with my course.

Course 1:

Operating Systems.

Course 2:

Combinatorics and Graph Theory.

I can meet at Lecture or Lab or somewhere at Uni. Feel free to DM me. Cheers and thanks in advance.

Anyone did the mid sem already? How was it

Hi there,

I'm currently in year 12 and can gain uni entrance at the end of the year. I hate school and absolutely refuse to stay for year 13. However, if I go to uni next year I will be 16 when I start, and won't be 17 till April. I was planning to move into halls till I realised you had to be 18, so I will be commuting about 45 minutes to uni. I don't have a good group of school friends, and I don't know anyone else who would be starting at the same time as me. But the way I see it is that even if I start at the typical time for someone my year level (2028), I would still only be 17 for the first monthish so would miss out on most of the o-week stuff since I can't legally drink, and I don't know if I would be able to go into halls because of my age anyways.

Has anyone been in a similar situation? All advice is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Because I would be commuting I wouldn't be out every weekend drinking anyway. Is it difficult to make friends without going out at night?

Students, graduates, employers? Please, I really need answer.

I'm getting into engineering next year and I have been out of school for the last 5 years. I've been studying math and that so I'm "ready" for it but does anyone who is currently in mechanical or mechatronics engineering have any advice on what I need to know before getting into the course?

So currently I have a lecture that goes overtime by an hour as a tutorial session every week. It does not show in the my aut app and there was never an announcement on canvas about this.

Not only that, the slides there is not posted, the recording is also not posted.

I feel like lecturer isn't allowed to do this especially when thier lecture slides is bad also and all we can rely on is AI and lecture videos.

Today I had experience the negative sound of your excessive motorcycle exhaust rev bombing. It’s very loud and I’m trying to study. Please stop

Hello,
I’m a mature student, returning to study my masters.
I did uni before the world of AI and am concerned that my writing style might be seen as ‘ai’.
I think the way I was taught to write academically is similar to what I’ve seen about the typical ‘signs’ of AI.
Does any one have any tips of this before starting assignments in case I ever get accused?
So far I am going to plan on paper so there is a record of my working. Thank you.

To be exact I am a first year fashion design student and I am currently facing the problem of the university wanting me to completely pause my studies, why? Because I failed one class within semester one due to unfortunate personal events. This class only runs for three hours a week but because it only happens in semester one they want me to stop everything and complete that class. They're not letting me do that class alongside all of my other classes, they want me to completely pause my studies to go into the university for three hours a week during semester one 2027 and do nothing until 2028. If any of you have any advice or opinions please help.

I don’t know if this is the right place to post. I graduated high school in Australia (2020) before returning home to nz. Instead of continuing studying I chose to work (details irrelevant)..

I don’t know if this information is important but Whilst at school my extra curricular subjects were set towards an engineering pathway specifically aeronautics… anyways I have done a level 3 welding course as of last year (2025) but after much consideration and thought I am looking at returning to study full time to be a registered nurse.

I saw some post on here regarding it and peoples acceptance/rejection/ trials etc. I’m not even sure how the studying system works but if I were to take on trying to apply for the course. What are my chances of being accepted? Is that even the right question I don’t know lol.

Help?

Hi, I’m an international applicant for Bachelor of Health Science. I previously received a conditional offer and completed the conditions, but my application has now been changed to “Not Offered”, stating that I did not meet the entry requirements.
I’m a bit confused as I had already received a conditional offer and completed the listed conditions. Has anyone experienced this before? Does this usually mean the final faculty approval was unsuccessful?

Thanks for any insight!

For those who got July intake for paramedicine in 2026, are you studying your semester 2 starting march 2027? I’m currently in another clinical and have been in contact with the faculty and they have put my application on pause until July 2027 due to already completing the core health science papers. I’ve asked about the final July intake cohort but they won’t provide any info about it 😭 i know it’s different now because they have taken away the july intake now

I have an 8am class for advertising but my friends are in the 11am class on the same day. We have to do a group assignment soon and i dont know anyone in my class that would want to work with me since im quite antisocial so everyone on my table ended up not interacting with me at all.

I originally didnt switch classes because the 11am class was full but now people are starting to drop out and make space in the class so i was wondering if i can make the switch now

I’m a single mum of a 1 year old and I’m thinking of studying health science to become an OT.
I have no help with my daughter and I’m worried it’s nearly impossible for me to be studying full time while looking after my daughter.
I know I’ll have to work really hard and I’m willing to do so but i just wanted some honest opinions from people currently studying this degree.
Is it really intense? What are your timetables like? If there are any parents studying, how are you finding it?
(I did contact aut regarding timetables but wasn’t much help)

Thanks in advance!

Hey guys 👋

I’ve been using SJS to look for part-time jobs and got a bit tired of checking the site over and over again to see if anything new had been posted 😅

So I made a small tool called SJS Alerts.

You just set what kind of jobs you’re looking for, like location, keywords, or job type, and it keeps checking SJS for you.

If a new job matches what you’re looking for, it sends you an email, so you can hopefully see it earlier without refreshing SJS all day.

It’s free to use if anyone wants to give it a try:

👉 https://sjsalert.co.nz/

Would also really appreciate any feedback or suggestions — I’m still improving it!

Hopefully it’s useful for anyone currently looking for student / part-time work 😊

Not affiliated with SJS — just a small independent tool I built.
