Note: class timetable and timetable block group selections will open on Tuesday 26 November 2024 for Higher Education and Swinburne College students. If you're a Vocational Education student, your timetable block group will also be available to view on this date.

If you are enrolling in a Vocational Education course (any diploma or certificate that is not a postgraduate or UniLink course) please allow 72 hours for your timetable to be generated. You will be able to view it by clicking on the My Calendar tile, then selecting the time period you wish to view.

If you are enrolling in a Higher Education course (any bachelor or postgraduate by coursework course), you will need to set up your timetable as follows:

1. Select the My Class Registrations tile on the homepage. 
2. Select the study period you would like to plan, or click the title banner and choose a study period from the dropdown menu. 
3. Click the Select button next to each component to choose from the available times for that activity. To schedule the activity into a suitable time, click Register. A green tick will appear on the component. 
4. Some activities, such as lectures, may not have options for different times. These already have a green tick next to them and have been scheduled into your timetable for you. 
5. Once you register an activity, it will appear in your timetable preview and will be colour coded to match the unit. All other available times for that activity are shown in the timetable preview as white. 
6. Any clashes with other activities will be flagged in the timetable preview. To choose a different time for an activity, select the Swap button on the component on the left-hand side. 
7. Once you have registered your activities for all units, return to the Home Page.
