Once you’ve been allocated a timetable through Sydney Timetable, you will be able to review and adjust your timetable up until the last day to add a unit of study for the semester or session (which is the end of the second week of classes for semesters 1 and 2). During the ‘review and adjust’ period, you will need to make sure you are allocated to classes for the units of study you are enrolled in.
It’s important to be aware that once you’ve made changes to your timetable, there is no guarantee you will be able to return it to its previous version. You may be able to obtain your previous class times by adjusting your new timetable, but this will depend on availability.
In many cases, it might not be possible to make adjustments because of class availability, timetable clashes or departmental restrictions. Find out more information about how to manage clashes and full classes on our troubleshooting guide. For tips and guidance on how to make adjustments, watch our video.
You can find out what day and time the 'review and adjust' period opens by checking the timetable dates table.
Select the ‘Timetable’ tab in the menu bar to access your allocated timetable and view your class details. The coloured icon next to each class tells you its status. Make sure you review each of the statuses as it will tell you if you need to take action.
Status | What does it mean | What can you do? |
---|---|---|
Allocated | This means you're allocated to this class | If you're happy with this class allocation, you don't need to do anything. If you would like to remove this allocated class, you can select the 'trash' icon. Before you select the trash icon, make sure you understand the significance of this action. Your place will become available to other students and you may not be able to allocate yourself to this class again |
Select | This means you are not currently allocated to this class but there are free places remaining. | If you would like to allocate yourself to this class, select ‘select’. |
Clash | This means there is a clash with one of your other allocations. | You need to deal with a clash as soon as possible. Select the ‘clash’ button for more information or read our troubleshooting guide. |
Full | This means the class is full. | If you want to join this class, you will need to submit a 'swap request' or 'join a waitlist'. These are managed in the order they are received and will not always be successful. You can also read our troubleshooting guide for more information. |
Learn how to allocate and adjust your class timetable in the video below.
During the review and adjust period, you can:
All changes are managed in the order they are received and will not always be successful, so if you want to make an adjustment you should do so as soon as possible.
If you’re happy with your allocated classes, you don’t need to make any changes to your timetable.
You may be able to change a class that you are allocated to.
If you are not allocated to a class for an enrolled unit of study, you will need to allocate yourself.
If you want to join a class that’s already full, you can request a class swap.
If you are unable to allocate to any class because there are no places available at a time that doesn’t clash, you'll need to join a waitlist.
We monitor full classes and work with unit of study coordinators to create more classes where they are needed. Most students will be allocated to a class within a few business days, however this may take longer during busy periods.
Check your timetable regularly. If you see available spaces in a class before you’re allocated, you should select to join the class.
If you add a unit of study after timetables have been released you will need to log in to Sydney Timetable and allocate yourself to a class. You may find you need to adjust your other activities to ensure there are no clashes on your timetable.
If you withdraw from a unit of study and don’t select another one, you do not need to make any changes to your timetable. The classes associated with the unit you've withdrawn from will be deleted.
Your timetable needs to be finalised by the last day to add a unit of study in the semester or session, which is the end of the second week of classes in Semesters 1 and 2. Ideally, you should seek to finalise your unit of study selections as soon as you can.
If you enrol after preferences close you will need to allocate yourself to classes.
If you have any units of study where you are not allocated to classes by the deadline to make adjustments to your timetable, we'll select classes on your behalf and issue you a timetable before the session starts. This may mean some of your other class times need to be changed to avoid clashes. Find out more information about how to manage clashes and full classes on our troubleshooting guide.
