Student Reference Number, coz I've forgotten my username and password - smart!

Zero · 17th August 2006, 10:25pm

The Strathclyde one? It'll be the same as you had last year.

Or if you mean the SAAS one it'll be on any letter you've had from them.

Devastator · 17th August 2006, 10:29pm

I have neither of these things.

Zero · 17th August 2006, 10:31pm

That kinda makes me wonder how you'll make it through the next three years...

Devastator · 17th August 2006, 10:45pm

Doing a Bachelors of Comedy are we?

I didn't think I'd need it, on the basis of I'm doing a completely different course, the next year. My circumstances are also completely different. Chances are it's downstairs in the filing cabinet somewhere, but I assumed the system wouldn't be so fucking stupid that to request a new number or a reminder, you need your old number.

How is that helpful? Really?

Did you do the transfer thing through UCAS? I'm not really sure how it works, but if so and you can't get a hold of registry, try giving them a call. As for student reference numbers, I'm pretty sure you can get it with just your name, address and date of birth, if it's the one for SAAS that's how I got mine. Again, don't panic too much, you'll get it sorted eventually! What you going to study btw?

Devastator · 17th August 2006, 11:02pm

Na I didn't do it through UCAS, I applied for voluntary suspension and got my transfer all sorted at the time. This was in (I think) December.

Dunno exactly what I'm studying yet, because the full subject choices aren't on the site

Susan said Sociology is the least organised department ever which has put me off a bit, considering it's hard enough to work everything out as it is

English, History, Psychology. . . that's all I have so far.

It was a tongue-in-cheek remark that you seem to have completely overreacted to (neg rep?) but nevertheless I've seen people fail classes and whole degrees because they're so hopeless when it comes to organising their notes and stuff. Maybe you are, maybe you're not.

I love that lift, you can also take it to the tiny wee room full of roasting hot steam pipes and locked doors at either end between the first floor and the basement
You could still get up on the roof last year... although i think they locked the door after the found out we pissed about up there

Aye, I didn't know the rules with choosing certain subjects or even what you could do from the Business School until I met with my advisor of studies. Like if you want to do Marketing you have to do Maths and if you want to do a language you cant do certain subjects, it's well un-organised. That's why I had to pick Geography and Economics, pure raging. I did get a wee blue book which tried to explain it, but I'm sure it was written in Swahele.

*Edit* Aimed at Amy.

I am ENRAGED at how I can't get a hold of anyone in the entire bloody Uni, not even someone in the canteen, or a janitor! SORRY if I'm a wee bit tetchy.

I am also perfectly capable of organising things I actually NEED, one letter from over a year ago relating to a different thing entirely? Low on my list of priorities.

Telling me I'm going to fail my degree is a bit uncalled for, thanks. You never even laughed at my Bachelors of Comedy joke, which was hilarious.

Never knew that. Next time it's open and I'm going past …

Did you try looking through the targeting scope thing on top of the security camera up there? It's pointed straight at a security camera on the Holiday Inn, which is pointed straight back at the Strathclyde camera. Odd.

sarabee · 18th August 2006, 2:29am

Meeeee. Second year LASS. Fun times.

Kind of miss it.

No, I don't actually.

(Yeah I do.)

Another 'secret' is how to get onto the roof of the Livingstone Tower. Once you're up there it's normally the done thing to throw stuff at sunbathers in the rottenrow gardens. Oh, and make sure the door doesnt close behind you and trap you up there

Diploma in legal practice. Which I'm told is a bit of a skive compared to the LLB, so I'm looking forward to it =) Probably see you around then.

So everyone went down the stairs, one level, then another, then another, then along a corrider, then round a corner, at which point the ceiling was too low to stand up. We were so fucking lost, I think we gave up trying to find the lecture room.

I was expecting that story to end with the 'ringleaders' actually going to the pub and you all blindly following them there

The RC building is a strange place indeed. I used to arrive there about 8.15am for 9am lectures and spend some time wandering around. I remember one morning I turned a corner and two students in those big biohazard suits were running in the opposite direction. I was torn between ignoring them and continuing my half-asleep shuffling, and running in the same direction as them. In the end I suspect they just really really needed the bathroom.
