Class representatives
You can email your representatives and let them know your views about second year courses. (Note: Do NOT email these people with mathematics problems!). Your representatives will meet with staff in week 7 or 8 to discuss issues.
Handbook
The Intermediate Course Handbook is available in pdf format for printing or reading on-line:
In particular, see the Summary of Enrolment Advice section of the handbook (on p. 6).
If you experience problems reading or printing pdf files, such as the handbook or tutorial solutions, then reading our pdf problem information page may help.
