Yesssss, i'm not alone, sorta. lol.

I'm needing questions more related to campus stuff, although I am doing one of my papers for my first year extramurally during summer school.

Where abouts do you get your textbook lists from online? I rang up and the lady I spoke with, told me I need to go into the print-lab, and was incredulous (and very rude and arrogant) about the fact I did'nt know this, until I said bluntly, "well how the fuck was I supposed to know that, no-one fucken told me!" Then her high horse lowered, I guess she's used to 17-18 year old students who put up with her, and told me I have to go into the 'printlab'. I know people studying at both Unitec AND AUT, and this info is all online, and they recieve letters a month proir also saying what books they need for their lectures......So surely I can get this info online you would think? Or surely they should have sent this same letter?

I swear to enrol in Massey you need a Degree in University enrollment, if their is such a thing! Both aforementioned people helped me with the enrolling and were quite lost themselves and they're both in their last years.......no communication at all, or useful info. I've re-typed my timetables as they don't print properly, and they don't even include the class start dates. I ca'nt believe how much I have to complain about before I even start!

Anyway, just to get my question across after that rant, can I find my textbook list online? Or was the dragonlady right?

I'm studying at Massey Albany. Sorry, I can't help you with why you can't see your textbook list online, try phoning or emailing Bennetts, have your paper numbers handy.

Our posts crossed in the ether. I agree, Massey's website is very user-unfriendly. The Printlab is in QB2 down in the "dungeon" (my home from home). QB2 is Quad Building 2.

Where online do you look for them? I don't know if I can or not, I tried asking but the lady told me that the only way was to go in, which I thought did'nt sound right, and obviously is'nt.

Where aboots do I look?

Yeah I've always had my textbook list sent to me with my study work, however G is right, if you phone Bennetts bookstore with your paper number they'll be able to tell you what the books are for that paper. Frustrating isn't it? And believe me, being an extramural student is even more so sometimes as you don't readily have other students and tutors to ask questions of.
Hey, good luck.

Also known as Quad building 'B'?

Cheers for your help. Kinda feeling I shoulda gone with Unitec or AUT, I was accepted to all three and chose Massey for geographical reasons......hmmmmm. Once it's all under-way it'll all be fine, at least my newb 'flying start' registration seems to be all working out......(they've taken my moolah lets see if i'm actually on the list on the day!)

The Massey website is a mess. Best to rock up to Bennett's, tell them your paper number and let them lead you to the book. I found purchasing the book for my last paper a waste of time and money, the course notes and library resources contained all the additional material needed.
