We were advised to apply for "Advanced Standing" at the same time as we enrolled in the course (the Master of Education in TESOL course). But we were waiting on a particular item to be sent to us before we could do that. So we waited, and we didn't enrol straight away.
We didn't realise that the person who was sending us that particular item had gone on holiday for a month, we kept believing day by day that it would arrive, and so we didn't go ahead and enrol anyway.
Finally the paper arrived, and we put in our enrolment, and our application for "Advanced Standing"
Oh no! They told us. You missed the "Commonwealth Supported" places by one day. Not that it was an announced closing day we had missed, just a mysterious decision that from that day there would be no more Commonwealth places for Master of Education courses. And we were one day too late.
Our course would have cost $2750 (each), but now we would need to be full fee paying students and it would cost $7500 (each) ... a difference of about $10 000 for the two of us. (That is for one semester - $20 000 for the 2 semesters, of course.)
Expensive day, ay?
