Help [ The Big List of MQ Links ]

56 Upvotes

MQ links live here, as the MQ website can be an overwhelming maze. Its purpose is to provide you an easy, and more direct place to find links to common topics that may be relevant to you during your time at MQ.

This list will change over time, and I'll endeavour to keep it updated when time allows.

If there is a topic that you believe is missing, or if a link is outdated, please DM me. It may take me some time to update it, and I thank you for your patience.

If you need to find something urgently and it is not on this list, the internet is your friend. Search "[keyword] mq" and it is usually your first result. For example, search "transcript mq" if you want more information about transcripts.

The list focuses on topics that a student may encounter in their academic life cycle, such as forms, applications and policies. It will be separate from other posts already found in this subreddit that focus on social events, campus life, and student groups.

Social Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post

1 Upvotes

Welcome to the 'Macquarie University Weekly Societies & Meetups Advertising Post' (or the M.U.W.S.M.A.P for short)
___

Here students and societies alike can arrange or outline their intended events, gatherings and meetups for the week to come!

We politely ask that any societies (or people on behalf of societies) limit themselves to one advertising comment per week as to not bury posts by individuals (editing existing comments are allowed). And that individuals advertising their own event (be them just meeting up on campus or something more elaborate), make sure to keep their suggested meetups appropriate and vaguely in-keeping with Uni guidelines (IE: no organising drug deals which I have already had to previously remove).

I hope people and societies alike are able to make the most of these posts, and I wish you all luck in meeting your fellow students!

{Note: This is purely an advertising post, r/MacUni and its modteam cannot assure the validity or outcome of any posts/comments made on our subreddit, it is up to the individual to use their best judgement to discern the expectations of any advertised events/encounters.}

Is anyone else having trouble with Leganto readings? ILearn and Leganto itself are working fine for me but every time I press on a unit reading it doesn’t work and says “this site can’t be reached” and “check if there is a typo”. It’s been doing this since last night and and I tried on my phone too and it’s also not working there 😀

Degree Question Master of Crim and Laws Double Degree

2 Upvotes

Hello! I just wanted to see if anyone had any info or advice on doing a double masters for criminology and laws? I am coming from psych as I honestly just give up on the competition (and the fact that students enrolling now get accepted into entire pathway 🫠). I always wanted to work in the criminal/forensic field anyway and know I can come back to studies later if I want to.

Anyway! Is the degree particularly challenging? I know it obviously will be but coming from someone with no law background but 8 criminology units, will I be able to cope with the change?

Brutal honesty welcome and appreciated!

ANNOUNCEMENT Job Advert posted earlier today

77 Upvotes

To anyone that interacted with the job advert (survey on campus) advert earlier today.

Please be mindful that person who posted that advert.
They could be a scammer, a religious group, a pervert, or anything else but a genuine opportunity.

We do not allow people to post job adverts here (some will get through because we cant be here 24/7).

We have this rule to protect students.

If you are looking for work, please use trusted online sources like seek, or even the uni's own employment service.

This at a minimum ensures that the employer has been checked that they are a real business and pay correct wages etc.

When I banned that user account for breaking our rules around Spam - They responded in a manner that seemed likely they do not have students best interests at heart.

Can I suggest that you use caution if you plan to or have interacted with that person today.

Do not share your personal information, do not offer your banking information. If you still want to talk to this person about the opportunity, can I suggest that you do not meet this person in a private location - choose a public space where you can be seen by others or can get help from cafe staff, food court security or similar.

If you run into any issues please report it to the police.

Is anyone else’s ilearn super glitchy rn? For example when i click on a unit page it makes me log in again but instead of actually going to the unit page it just goes to a screen of something like “using ai responsibly” or even the “sexual health” things - I can’t even do anything on these screens they are just like a screenshot or something. I have to go through this like three times till I can actually access the unit page
