The deadline is Oct, 10th. I think this one is pretty easy and you don't have to wait until your lab session to do that. Just read Prof Findlay's slides about that library lab and you will manage everything. Hope that helps and good Luck!:)
Hi my friend from Venezuela also had the same situation and he just got his equivalence the day before yesterday. It is said the the faculty will let you know around the end of the month. So maybe you just have to hold on for a couple of more days...but I am not too sure.
