Well, it has been a 14 year-long labor of love, but I think I can finally say that it's done! JetExec N105PS received its special airworthiness certificate on 4/5/2014. (Gee, this is kind of like a birth announcement!)
My compliments to both RotorWay International and KISS Aviation for their excellent kits and design. All of the components for both kits were very well built, and the instructions, pictures, plans and videos were well thought out and easy to follow. Thanks especially to:
Russ Gerrish for the absolutely fantastic job he did putting together the JetExec Construction Manual; and he, Dave Domanski (KISS Aviation) and Joe Bedo for all their pioneering efforts developing the JetExec.
The RotorWay Owners Group (ROG) Forum for the comaraderie and the incredible wealth of knowledge and support provided by the web site and its members; especially to Ron Curry for creating the site, Dave Epperson for moderating the JetExec forum, and Homer Bell for all of his contributions. And of course, Roger Stierli for creating and maintaining the JetExec Owners Information forum.
And finally, my family and friends for enduring this endeaver.
It's time now to start flying off my 40 hours. Wish me luck!

November 28, 2014
WARSAW (AP) - Polish prosecutors say they will investigate a commander in a notorious Nazi SS-led unit who has been found to be living in Minnesota.
An Associated Press investigation revealed Friday that Michael Karkoc, 94, entered the U.S. by lying to American authorities about his leadership role in the SS-led Ukrainian Self Defense Legion. The unit is accused of burning down villages in Poland filled with women and children. AP's evidence suggests that Karkoc was at the scene of the crimes, although no records link him directly to atrocities.
Poland's National Remembrance Institute said Friday that its prosecutors will investigate Karkoc's wartime role and provide "every possible assistance" to the U.S. justice system, which has used lies in immigration papers to deport dozens of suspected Nazi war criminals.

Photos and Description of this 2 bedroom holiday apartment in South Bank and Southwark - Southwark Bridge Road II
2 Bedroom, 1 Bathroom Home Just A Short Walk From Borough Market
Perfect smile
Oh, but this is a happy home. Awash with primary colours, there's a tremendously joyful feel to the minimalist design and the merry art. Look out the window to see the Shard, walk for just a few minutes and you'll come upon the river, and this flat's spiritual forefather, Tate Modern. Foodies can spend gluttonous hours grazing their way around Borough Market, and for those who prefer to dine out, there's a positive plethora of neighbourhood restaurants. With ancient London spanning the river, the only ache you'll experience will be in your tired, contented legs.
White coats
Your hosts are dentists, she's Irish and he's from South Africa. They love to cook, and are regulars at nearby Borough Market. As far as you can imagine from cold-hearted clinicians, this charming pair are just nuts about their gorgeous little dog.
Laughing gas
This home is something of a playground for grownups- the multi-coloured dining chairs, the jazzy sitting room, the vibrant art (painted by your host's mother). The look is welcoming and contemporary, with a high-spec kitchen, large windows and an enormously comfy sofa. There are two bedrooms, a single and a neat double, and the enclosed balcony means you can enjoy the fresh air even as the rain patters down upon the unfortunate souls in the street below.

Even legendary directors like Alfred Hitchcock don't always get their way. Over the course of his illustrious career, Hitchcock had to abandon quite a few projects due to budgetary concerns, issues with stars, the whims of studio heads, or in some cases simply his own instincts that the film wasn't going to turn out very well. Let's take a look at a few of the master of suspense's unproduced projects, including the one that studio execs hated so much they made him sign a... READ ON

Myths and Misconceptions About Eating Disorders
Page 1 of 2
For Parents, Health Professionals, and Educators
The following are facts that will help you to prevent, address, or treat eating disorders or dysfunctions in your child, student, patient, or loved one.
Myths about healthy eating
- Food is fattening.
- Fat is unhealthy for the body.
- Dieting and restricting food is the best way to lose weight.
- It's okay to skip meals.
- Nobody eats breakfast.
- Food substitutes such as Power Bars and Slim Fast are okay to take the place of meals.
- Meals are to be served, not eaten, by parents.
- Exercise can keep a person slim and fit. You can never overdo a good thing.
- Being fat is about being unhealthy, unhappy and unattractive. It must be avoided at all costs.
- Fat-free eating is healthy for eating disorders.
- A meal is anything you put in your mouth around mealtime.
Myths about eating disorders
- Once anorexic, always anorexic. Like alcoholism, eating disorders are not curable.
- People with anorexia are easy to identify. They are noticeably skinny and don't eat.
- Once an anorexic has achieved a normal weight, she is recovered.
- An eating disorder is about eating too little or too much.
- Parents are the cause of their child's eating disorder.
- Eating disorders affect only adolescent girls.
- People lose weight using laxatives and diuretics.
- Physicians can be counted on to discover and diagnose an eating disorder.
Things you need to know about children at risk for eating disorders
- Of the currently more than 10 million Americans afflicted with eating disorders, 87 percent are children and adolescents under the age of twenty.
- The average age of eating disorders onset has dropped from ages 13-17 to ages 9-12.
- In a recent study, young girls were quoted as saying that they would prefer to have cancer, lose both their parents, or live through a nuclear holocaust than to be fat. 81% of 10 year olds are afraid of being fat.
- The US Dept of Health and Human Services task force reports that 80% of girls in grades 3 to 6 displayed body image concerns and dissatisfaction with their appearance. By the time girls reached the 8th grade, 50% of them had been on diets, putting them at risk for eating disorders and obesity. By age 13, 1o% had reported the use of self-induced vomiting.
- 25% of first graders admit to having been a diet.
- Statistics show that children who diet have a greater tendency to become overweight adults.
- Childhood obesity is at an all time high, afflicting five million children in America today, and with another six million on the cusp.
- Early puberty and the bodily changes that go along with it have become a primary risk factor for the onset of eating disorders. It is normal, and in fact, necessary, for girls to gain 20 percent of their weight in fat during puberty.
- The number of males with eating disorders has doubled during the past decade.
- By the age of five, children of parents who suffer with eating dysfunctions demonstrate a greater incidence of eating disturbances, whining and depression.
- Adolescents with eating disorders are at a substantially elevated risk for anxiety disorders, cardiovascular symptoms, chronic fatigue, chronic pain, depressive disorders, infectious diseases, insomnia, neurological symptoms, and suicide attempts during early adulthood.
- A study of 692 adolescent girls showed that radical weight-loss efforts lead to greater future weight gain and a higher risk of obesity.
- Eating disturbances in your very young child may be the result of anxiety, compulsivity, or the child's imitation of significant adult role models. Issues of control, identity, self-esteem, coping and problem solving are what drive adolescent and adult eating disorders
- 50% of American families do not sit down together to eat dinner.

When it came down to it, the best of show winner at the 2007 Pebble Beach Concourse d'Elegance ended up being both a logical and surprising choice. It's a representative of the featured marque. It had elegant and long lines. It had a very colorful history to match its colorful exterior. It attracted a lot of attention parked high above the water along the coastline beside the 18th fairway at the Pebble Beach Golf Links, and yet it somehow didn't seem to capture our attention as much as a few other spectacular vehicles that made this year's 57th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance so incredible. It's amazing how easy it is to get jaded when you see one incredible car after another for a full week. But in the end, a 1935 Duesenberg SJ Special, owned by Harry Yeaggy from Cincinnati, Ohio, was named "Best of Show."
This car is more famously known as "The Mormon Meteor." It's a supercharged speedster that was raced and then used as daily transport by Salt Lake City's former mayor Ab Jenkins. Okay, so maybe that's reason enough to elect it. But the car also set a 24-hour speed record (135.58 miles per hour) in 1935. It even sold for a record $4.45 million at the Gooding Auction here in 2004. The thing looks like it's 30 feet long and still ready to race. It really was a deserving champion. More details and quotes from the winner after the jump.
57th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance Names Duesenberg SJ Special (Also Known as the Mormon Meteor) 'Best of Show'
Classic Cars from 12 Countries and Throughout the U.S. are Showcased During Competition Along California's Monterey Coast
PEBBLE BEACH, Calif. (Aug. 19, 2007) – The 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links® hosted some of the world's rarest vintage vehicles and thousands of spectators Sunday at the 57th Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance. The Concours competition, which included judging in 24 classes, culminated when a 1935 Duesenberg SJ Special, owned by Harry Yeaggy from Cincinnati, Ohio, was named "Best of Show."
The winning car, also known as "The Mormon Meteor," is a supercharged speedster that was raced by Utah's Ab Jenkins (the former mayor of Salt Lake City) and then driven on the city streets. The car, which set a 24-hour speed record (135.58 miles per hour) in 1935, sold for a record $4.45 million at the 2004 Pebble Beach Auction conducted by Gooding & Company.
"I'm trying to catch my breath," said Yeaggy on the winner's ramp. "I knew I had a great car. I love the styling and the art deco look, and it's a performance car. It's just elegant from every different direction. For me to get a performance car and a beautiful car is a perfect combination. In my opinion, this is the most significant American car ever built.
"I'd also like to give loads of credit to Chris Charlton, who did the restoration work."
Competitors from 30 states and 12 countries brought their prized automotive possessions to the California's Monterey Peninsula for judging. Additionally, proceeds from raffles, auctions, sponsorships and gate receipts helped contribute more than $1 million to charity for the second consecutive year.
"The Pebble Beach Concours has truly become 'the world's concours,'" says Concours Chairman Sandra Kasky Button. "In addition to enthusiasts, sponsors and media from around the globe, this year we welcomed exotic, historic vehicles from as far away as Hong Kong, Australia, Italy, Switzerland, Netherlands and Argentina."
The featured automotive marques for 2007 were Aston Martin – with four classes, including a special exhibition of historic Astons and three postwar classes – and the Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg group. (The James Bond Aston Martin DB5 and Duesenbergs once owned by Clark Gable and Gary Cooper were among the most well-known vehicles.) Additionally, the historic hot rod class celebrated the 75th anniversary of the iconic '32 Ford (known as "The Deuce"), and the "10-plus Club" focused on cars with engines displacing 10 liters or more. Overall, nearly 200 classic vehicles, including the event's oldest competitor – an 1897 Henriod – competed in the annual classic car showcase along the Monterey coastline.
"It happens every year on the third Sunday in August; a blending of automotive design, craftsmanship and history," says Kasky. "Car aficionados nervously roll their vehicles onto the 18th fairway of one of the world's most famous golf courses, seeking to win 'best of show' honors. For spectators, it's an automotive time capsule, with the finest artistry and design on display from more than 100 years of the automobile. And the best news of all, with the $1 million-plus we raised for our charities this year, the Pebble Beach Concours has now contributed well over $10 million during the event's history."
The 58th Pebble Beach Concours, slated for Sunday, Aug. 17, 2008, will include a celebration of the centennial of General Motors and the London to Brighton Veteran Car Run.
First conducted in 1950, the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® (www.pebblebeachconcours.net) has grown to become the world's premier celebration of the automobile. Only the most beautiful and rare cars are invited to appear on the famed 18th fairway of Pebble Beach Golf Links®, and connoisseurs of art and style flock to see these masterpieces. Charitable donations raised by the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance® now total over $10 million. Related events include the Pebble Beach Tour d'Elegance™ presented by Rolex, Pebble Beach RetroAuto™, and the Pebble Beach® Auction presented by Gooding & Company. The 2007 Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance®, featuring Aston Martin and the Auburn Cord Duesenberg group, will be held on Sunday, August 19.

Before you stuff your face with hamburgers and hot dogs at the family barbecue, slip on your running shoes and head down to Washington Park for the sixth annual Liberty Run, which includes a four-mile run/walk and a Firecracker Kids Fun Run.
In addition, there will be food, activities for all ages, and prizes awarded for the best USA-themed outfits in both child and adult categories.
This year, the run benefits the Make-A-Wish Foundation, and in particular, Sophia, a four-year-old Pueblo girl with acute lymphoid leukemia. Sophia wished for her own playroom, complete with a pink swing, a rocking horse, puppets, and dress-up clothes.

"Make-A-Wish Colorado is celebrating its thirtieth anniversary this year and is honored to be the charity partner for the Liberty Run," explains spokeswoman Amanda Ford. "We granted our 4,000th wish in the beginning of June and are happy to have the Liberty Run fall under our anniversary celebration and help Sophia's wish come true."
The race begins at 8:30 a.m. at the south end of Washington Park, 1000 South Downing Street. Registration is $35 for adults, $25 for seniors and kids under seventeen; a four-pack is available for $90. For information, go to runningguru.com.

Study Demonstrates Performance of SMARTag Platform
Redwood Bioscience and Catalent Pharma Solutions have announced the results of an in vivo toxicology study, demonstrating that an antibody drug conjugate (ADC) generated using the proprietary SMARTag platform has a better toxicity profile than a conventional ADC.
The study, conducted in a rat model by Redwood Bioscience compared the effects of a single dose of 6, 20 or 60 mg/kg of a SMARTag ADC conjugated to a cytotoxic payload using the proprietary HIPS chemistry, to an ADC generated with traditional conjugation methods.
Results showed that the SMARTag ADC was well tolerated and provided statistically significant survival benefits versus the conventional ADC, particularly at high doses where the conventional ADC resulted in mortality. Elevations in liver enzymes and decreases in platelet counts and reticulocytes were also observed with the conventional ADC at 20 and 60mg/kg treatments, whereas these effects were only seen with the highest dose of the SMARTag ADC. In addition the toxicokinetic analysis showed that the SMARTag ADC had greater exposure and longer circulating half-life than the conventional ADC comparator.
Toxicology study results have been published and are available in the Journal of Bioconjugate Chemistry.

David Lopez attempted to lure girls into prostitution, police say
Published On: Apr 23 2014 07:32:59 AM EDT
Updated On: Apr 23 2014 05:55:32 PM EDT
Updated On: Apr 23 2014 05:55:32 PM EDT
A convicted felon was taken back into custody Tuesday, accused of attempting to lure two high school girls into a life of prostitution.
David Lopez, 46, surrendered peacefully when officers swarmed his 15th-floor apartment at 2100 San Souci Blvd. in North Miami.
FBI agents and a police SWAT team surrounded the building with concerns Lopez may have been armed with several firearms.
The bust is a major victory for Miami-Dade County state attorney Katherine Fernandez-Rundle, whose office now has a full-time human trafficking unit devoted to fight this type of crime.
"The brutality that's involved, the trauma that's involved -- physical, emotional, sexually -- it's all just so unfathomable," she told Local 10 News.

Choosing the Right Trip
We work hard to help you choose the right trip for you, paying attention to your individual interests, abilities, and needs. If you have questions about the level of comfort or any of the activities described in this itinerary, please contact us.
We are proud to have an exceptionally high rate of repeat travelers. For more information, we would be happy to put you in touch with a client who has traveled with us.
Departure Notes
Once you have signed up on the trip, we send a complete packing list, relevant health information, and required travel documents.
There is mystery and magic in the Himalaya—in the eerie chanting of maroon-robed monks in brightly painted monasteries, in snow plumes trailing from high peaks, and in the smiles of Buddhist pilgrims at their ancient temples. Our journey weaves together three Himalayan realms: Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan, bringing you inside these lands to experience the immense power of places like Tibet's exquisite 8th century Samye Monastery, Nepal's Bhaktapur, a medieval world unto itself, and the flourishing kingdom of Bhutan, where the Buddhist faith is a part of everyday life. Our cultural adventure will have you walking alongside pilgrims on sacred koras and sampling momos in Tibet, traveling by cyclo-rickshaw through Kathmandu's bazaar, and hiking to a cliffside monastery in Bhutan.

What the Trip is Like
This trip is Level 2+, Easy to Moderate, according to our trip rating system. It features vehicle-based sightseeing with day walks and hotel/lodge accommodations throughout. This trip is appropriate for anyone in good health living an active outdoor lifestyle. Although you carry only a daypack on the walks, there are some steep ascents and descents, and the hikes are at moderate altitudes (4,000-13,000 feet), which can make them feel strenuous. You always have the option to skip any hike you don't want to undertake.
Getting in Shape
For your own enjoyment, we recommend you make a special effort to be in good physical condition for the journey by hiking, running, swimming, bicycling, or engaging in other forms of aerobic exercise well beyond your normal routine. Walking up and down flights of stairs is also an effective way to train for the steep ascents and descents in the Himalaya. Weekend hikes that involve long sections of uphill and downhill walking are great for conditioning your legs.
Accommodations and Food
Accommodations in these Himalayan countries range from rustic to deluxe. The Zhiwa Ling Hotel in Paro, the Taj Tashi in Thimphu, and the Yak & Yeti in Kathmandu offer a great deal of comfort, while the lodge in Punakha and the hotels in Lhasa and Tsetang are well situated and cozy but somewhat rustic. Most rooms are twin-bedded. Please be aware that most lodges and guesthouses provide simple buffets for meals. The cuisine in these countries is generally based on basic rice with stir-fry and stew options.

Hashmat Singh
Hashmat Singh has led over 100 journeys on three continents for us since 1990. He holds a BA in History from Delhi University and is a noted photographer. His book, Trekking in the Himalaya (Roli Books), features photographic essays from Ladakh to Bhutan. Born an army brat, Hashmat traveled extensively as his father was posted in various remote regions of India. His first big Himalayan trek was at age 12, with his school group, and during college, he headed into the Himalaya to take mountaineering courses. "Big mountains of the world, whether they are in the Himalaya, Alps, or the Andes, hold a special fascination for me, as do the people living amongst them, holding on to their ancient cultures in a world where everything is rapidly changing." A passionate traveler, Hashmat has been instrumental in designing new adventures for us throughout Asia. The profession of Trip Leader combines several of his interests—hiking, exploring the mountains, photography, and meeting new people. Hashmat lives in Delhi with his wife and two children.

In a magical kingdom where your name is your destiny, 12-year-old Rump is the butt of everyone's joke.
Rump has never known his full name—his mother died before she could tell him. So all his life he's been teased and bullied for his half-a-name. But when he finds an old spinning wheel, his luck seems to change. For Rump discovers he can spin straw into gold. Magical gold.
There's only one way to break the spell: Rump must go on a quest to find his true name, along the way defending himself against pixies, trolls, poison apples, and one beautiful but vile-mannered queen. The odds are against him, but with courage and friendship—and a cheeky sense of humor—Rump just might triumph in the end.
An inventive fairytale retelling, perfect for fans of Ella Enchanted or A Tale Dark and Grimm.
Fans of Adam Gidwitz and Chris Colfer will give a GIANT cheer for this funny fairytale retelling of Jack and the Beanstalk!
All work and no play makes Jack extremely bored. And when Jack gets bored, he makes mischief. It's not that he's bad; he just longs for adventure—and there's nothing adventurous about toiling day and night to grow yucky green stuff.
Adventure finally arrives one day in the form of giants, and soon Jack is chasing them to a land beyond the clouds, with his little sister, Annabella, in tow. The kingdom of giants is full of slugs the size of sheep, venomous pixies as tall as grown men, and a chatty cook with the biggest mouth Jack has ever seen. There's giant fun to be had, too: puddings to swim in, spoons to use as catapults, monster toads to carry off pesky little sisters. . . .
But Jack and Annabella are on a mission. The king of the giants has taken something that belongs to them, and they'll do anything—even dive into a smelly tureen of green bean soup—to get it back.

A fresh riff on the Grimm Brothers' Rumpelstiltskin, told with wit from the impish point of view of the troublemaker himself.
- People Magazine – August 12, 2013
A startlingly original book.
- The Denver Post – May 6, 2013
A beguiling take on a classic tale. … This captivating fantasy has action, emotional depth, and lots of humor.
- School Library Journal – May 2013
Liesl Shurtliff does more than spin words into gold–she gets us rooting for Rumpelstiltskin, a most magical feat.
- Kirby Larson, Newbery Honor-winning author of Hattie Big Sky
Lighthearted and inventive, RUMP amusingly expands a classic tale.
- Brandon Mull, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Fablehaven
Shurtliff takes the traditional fairy tale and turns it on its head, interspersing humor with tenderness, action with insight. Rump shows the other side of Rumpelstiltskin, one of the most vilified characters in fairy tales, and reminds readers that in a good story, very little is as it seems.
- BookPage – April 9, 2013
"As good as gold."Starred Review, Kirkus Reviews
Nothing lights a child's imagination like a good story, and I love the enthusiasm that students can bring when their interest is sparked. To help you encourage a love of reading and learning, I have put together some resources to help you incorporate Rump into your classrooms and libraries. I am also available for Author Visits, and you can find more information about that by clicking on the document below.

In addition to the well-known gas shale plays like the Barnett, Haynesville, Marcellus, and Eagle Ford, and oil plays like the Bakken, there are perhaps dozens of smaller, less well-known resource plays, many of which are in the very early stages of exploration and development. Some of the plays are shale and others are tight gas or coalbed methane. Many are in the United States and Canada, but increasingly exploration and production companies are using modern drilling and production technology to develop natural gas and oil from unconventional subsurface formations in Europe and Asia. Doubtless, unconventional resources eventually will be exploited in Africa, South America, and Australia as well. What we call "unconventional" today will be considered "conventional" in time.
NPC report: All energy options should be pursued
Aug 6, 2007 Every option, from developing unconventional fossil fuel resources to pursuing renewable and other alternatives, will need to be pursued if the world expects to meet its growing energy demand through 2030, the National Petroleum Council concluded in a recent study.

What does it mean when a guy likes you, but will try to avoid you?
I know this guy who apparently likes me, But will avoid me at all cost & when I try to tlk to him he gets really mean & cocky. I met him through his sister. We became best friends & the 1st time I went to her house she introduced me & he was nice & all, but afterward locked himself in his room & didn't tlk to us the whole time I was there! Since then every time I go over there he will do the same thing or go out. I didn't think anything of it until I realized he did it every time I showed up! I thought, "Man, he must think I'm annoying or something." Until his sister told me he thought I was attractive & liked me, she also told me he said not to tell me. Wtf! I thought she was messing with me, but started questioning it when we were playing truth or dare in his room (which we rarely do) & his best friend whispered to me that he likes me & told him to suggest playing truth or dare so he could hang out with me. I thought, "What kind of s*** is this!?" I'm so confused! Help me!
What's Your Opinion?
Most Helpful Opinion
how old is her brother? if he's over say 19 and he knwos you are under age he could just be frustated about the whole thing. (if the age difference is 2 or less years it's okay at least where I live.)
I would say a few months older, I can't remember. I just know his birthday is in the fall and mine is in spring, so yeah..
it could be that you are his first major crush and he doesn't know/understand how to go about handling it.
What Guys Said 2
As a guy who went through the whole teenage shyness thing. Simply put he is scared of rejection, because not only would you rejecting him hurt his pride. You are his sisters friend, therefore he feels like he would be ridiculed by her if shot down. I have a little sister myself and had a similar probably when I was a teen. If you like him back, my advice would be to make a move on him.I hope this helped. = ) Good luck!

Q. and A. about Deferment of Enrolment (UAC Offers)
From students applying to defer
What are the conditions attached to deferment?
You must not undertake any other tertiary study during your deferment and, if you defer a Conservatorium of Music course, you must maintain a satisfactory level of performance during your deferment.
Am I guaranteed re-admission to my deferred course?
Yes, except for the rare occasion in which the University ceases to admit any new students to a course. This may occur when two courses are amalgamated, for example. Should this happen to you, the University will notify you and if possible, will offer you a deferment in the most appropriate alternative course.
For how long can I defer my place at uni?
The standard period of deferment is one year. It may be possible to gain a further deferment under certain circumstances. See 'Can I extend my current deferment?' elsewhere on this page.
I'd like to commence my course in the second (July) semester. Is that possible?
Only if your course is open to commencing students in the July semester. There will normally be a number of courses in the Faculty of Engineering and Information Technologies, the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences, the Faculty of Science and the Sydney Business School that will be open for new student admission in the July semester. If your deferred course is one of these, you can claim your deferment (by applying through UAC Mid-Year) and commence university in the July semester.
I deferred my Main Round offer, now I have received a Late Round offer. May I also defer that offer?
Yes, but in doing so, you automatically abandon your Main Round deferment. You can only hold a deferment for one University of Sydney course. You can hold deferments from other universities without affecting your University of Sydney deferment.
Looking ahead, how do I claim my deferment next year?
The University will remind you by email in August that you will need to apply (again) through UAC to claim your deferred place. You receive another UAC offer in January next year and enrol.
Can I defer courses commence in July (Semester 2)?
It is NOT possible to defer courses commence in July (mid-year offers).
If I'm deferring, do I accept my UAC offer? Do I also enrol?
From July 2014, you can accept your offer and enrol online 24/7 during the enrolment period. Please note that it is not possible to defer your mid-year offers.
I have further questions about deferment, who can I talk to?
Please contact the University Service Centre by calling 1800 SYD UNI (1800 793 864) (in Australia) or +61 2 8627 1444 (outside Australia). Our Future Service Centre is open between 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
From students returning after deferment
I was granted a deferment in January, what happens next?
The University will send email reminder notices to all deferees in late July or August. These notices tell you how to go about claiming your deferred place and commencing your course in 2015.
How do I claim my deferred place?
You claim your deferred place by making a new online application for admission through the Universities Admissions Centre (UAC) in August/September.
I'm currently overseas. Do I need to have a family member in Australia apply for me?
You can apply from anywhere in the world, as long as you have an internet connection and are able to pay for the UAC application fee. Please see their website for payment details.
Do I get another UAC offer?
Yes, you will receive a new UAC offer for your deferred course (if that is your first (effective) preference) in the Main Round of UAC offers in January 2015. You will again be invited to accept your offer by enrolling with the University in late January 2015.
Do I need a new UAC Guide?
All UAC applicants should have a current edition of the UAC Guide. The 2015 UAC Guide will be available for purchase at major newsagents across Australia from August 2014. You can also order a Guide for postal delivery from UAC publications. The Guide contains information that will assist you with your application and admission in 2015.
Do I need to enter course preferences for other courses if my sole intention is to take up my deferment?
It is quite acceptable for you to record a single course preference on your UAC application.
At this stage I haven't decided whether I will return to university next year, either to my deferred course or any other course. What is my best course of action?
The University would recommend you apply for your deferred course (as a minimum), and consider your options by attending the University Info Day on Monday 5 January, 2015. Even if you receive an offer of admission, you are not obliged to accept it.
If I do apply for new courses, am I competing with new school-leavers?
Yes, if you were a school-leaver in 2013, you will be competing with 2014 school-leavers for admission for the new courses (if you choose them in your UAC application) on the basis of your 2013 ATAR (or equivalent).
Can I extend my current deferment?
No. However you can apply for a further deferment. You will need to reapply through UAC, receive your offer in January, and then apply for a deferment. You should be aware that you will not be automatically entitled to a deferment as are current-year school-leavers. You will need to use the deferment application form and explain your reasons for seeking a further deferment.
If I put a new course as my first preference, and my deferred course as preference 2 (or lower), will I still get my deferred course if I'm unsuccessful with my new course/s?
Yes. Your deferred course will always generate an offer (in the UAC Main Round of offers) if you have been unsuccessful with your higher preferences.
If I receive an offer to a new course in the Main Round, can I then claim my deferred place in a later offer round, if I've changed my mind?
Possibly. The risk is that your deferred course has been over-subscribed by Main round acceptances and the University cannot make further offers to that course in later rounds. This is unusual, but it has been known to happen. You cannot therefore be guaranteed an offer for your deferred course in UAC offer rounds after the Main Round.
My UAC number from last year doesn't work when I apply?
You must apply as a non-school-leaver when you commence your new UAC online application. You will be given a new UAC number. At some point in the application process, you will need to enter your old UAC number when you indicate that you hold a deferment.
I have further questions about deferment, who can I talk to?
Please contact the University Service Centre by calling 1800 SYD UNI (1800 793 864) (in Australia) or +61 2 8627 1444 (outside Australia). Our Future Service Centre is open between 9.00am to 5.00pm Monday to Friday.
