Class timetables
You can access a personalised timetable at the start of each semester with the location, time and duration of all your tutorials, lectures and labs.
Getting your timetable
Timetable preferences are now open
You can now select class preferences for your Semester 1 timetable so you’re more likely to be assigned the class times you want. Log in to Sydney Timetable now. Preferences close at 11.59pm, 19 January.
A few weeks before the start of each semester, you will be allocated a personal timetable for the semester based on the units of study you've successfully enrolled in. This will be available in Sydney Timetable. Sydney Timetable is the system you use to enter preferences, review and make adjustments to your timetable.
There are three stages to getting your final timetable:
- Enter your class preferences before timetables are released.
- You will be able to access your timetable in Sydney Timetable.
- Review and adjust your timetable up until the end of Week 2 of the semester.
Once your timetable is available, log in to Sydney Timetable and select the ‘Timetable’ tab. You can view your timetable in either grid view or list view.
For an overview of the Sydney Timetable system, watch our video.
Timetable dates
| Event or deadline | Date |

Some units of study may not be centrally timetabled, meaning they are scheduled by your school or department and can't be accessed through Sydney Timetable. In these instances you can contact your unit of study coordinator (listed in the unit of study descriptions in your handbook) for assistance. To see a calendar view of key dates for each session, visit the session calendars page.
Disability requirements
If your timetable needs to accommodate a student disability requirement, please contact Inclusion and Disability Services before the start of each semester. If you are affected by long-term circumstances, such as a recurring medical condition, we encourage you to register with Inclusion and Disability Services. By registering you will gain access to the adjustments and services to support you to succeed in your studies.
In your timetable you can also click on the venue hyperlink to access information on the accessibility of each venue, including details on accessible equipment, hearing augmentation/visual impairment support and building features such as wheelchair accessible entrances, bathrooms and lifts available.
Location of units
Due to the ongoing impacts of COVID-19, many units of study will continue to be available for remote learning (online delivery) during 2022. Make sure you check the location code when choosing your units of study in Sydney Student. Find out more about selecting units in Sydney Student and the codes used.
If you’re onshore you’ll be expected to enrol in the on-campus offering of your units in 2022.
If you’re located overseas or there is no on-campus offering and you need to select remote units, these have a location code of ‘RE’. This means your timetable will then only display remote classes (delivered online).
If you choose a unit with the wrong location, find out how to change your units of study. You will need to make any changes to your units by the deadline to add a unit of study for the session.
