I applied for a Bachelor of Primary Education majoring in religious education
because I want to work at catholic schools, they pay more in Australia.
I got accepted except for a couple of things which included just doing a 6 month tertiary certificate
in a relevant course to prove that I could handle the study since I left before finishing high school
because of a few things not relevant to this situation. It wasn't ever for a lack of good grades.
So 3-4 months later while I'm doing everything they told me to do.. Looking good so far.
The lowest mark I have gotten so far in the bridging course is a Credit+. Can't complain really.
I even had correspondence via email with them no longer than 2 weeks ago just to confirm everything
and let them know how everything was going.
Then this morning I receive an email saying my application has been denied because of pending legislation
changes that will be going through in 2015. To gain entry to UNI for mature age students I now
must have a relevant diploma at the very least.
I feel incredibly hard done by. Fair enough they want to change the requirements and all but I was given
information and accepted on the basis that I completed a particular path. I've done this so far
and now I've been set back at least another year.
I called up the admissions center and almost lost my temper.
Am I right to feel so hard done by?
