We recommend that if you are unable to make it to the ordering sessions, you instead fill out an order form and ask a friend to take it, with payment, to the ordering session on your behalf. Likewise, if you are unable to make it to the pickup sessions, you can ask a friend to take your receipt to the pickup session on your behalf.
If you wish to apply for membership, please also fill out a membership form.
Update 26/February/2008: Due to misunderstandings in prices, some people who applied for membership at the 26 February 2008 ordering session may not have received the full discount on certain items. The most problematic item is the Book of Formulae, LaTeX Guide, Matlab Course Notes combination as the correct price for members is $8.00. We will make a list of student numbers that may have been affected available at the subsequent notes ordering sessions and reimburse the difference to the students who have been affected.
EEESAU apologises for any inconvenience, and any confusion, that may have resulted.
