How to view your timetable

To view your timetable, log in to Sydney Timetable and select the Timetable tab.

Generally, your timetable displays the units you completed enrolment in, although there are also some units that won't appear on your timetable.

If your enrolment in a unit is pending (for example, if you're waiting on the outcome of an enrolment exception request), you'll need to complete enrolment before the unit will appear on your timetable.

You might already be allocated to classes, or you might need to add yourself to some of your classes.

Summary view

By default, when you open your timetable it displays a Summary view of all your classes for all your enrolled sessions. If you're making changes to your timetable, it needs to be in Summary view to access all available edit options.

However, some students have different classes on alternating weeks and you won't be able to see this in Summary view. Turning off Summary view allows you to scroll by day and week, so it's good idea to turn it off for the duration of the semester.

Day and Week view

You have the option to switch between Week and Day view, use the arrows to navigate through your calendar, and, when Summary view is turned off, select a specific month.

What do the icons and symbols on your timetable mean?

If you're viewing or changing your timetable, our quick reference guide will help you understand class information and the icons, buttons and symbols used.

How to change your classes

You'll be able to change your timetable during the review and adjust period. Check regularly for new class options until you have a final timetable, as we monitor demand and add new classes where we can.

You won't be able to change classes that are Read Only, for example if:

  • there's only a single option available
  • your school or faculty has allocated you to a specific class
  • the deadline to make changes has passed.
_self
<p>If you change class times, you might not be able to change them back again as the system automatically allocates places to waitlisted students.</p>

Steps to change classes

Select the Timetable tab and check that Summary view is switched on. Follow the steps for the task you want to complete from the following options.

Step 1: Select the activity

Your activities (e.g. lectures, tutorials, labs) will be listed in the panel on the right. If you see a red triangle, it means you're not allocated to a class yet.

To quickly view available class times, click the activity tile.

If location is important to you, select View more to see additional details. Keep in mind this will block your calendar view. You can always check class location on the calendar after adding yourself to a class, and then change to a different class if needed.

Step 2: Select the class
  • You might need to scroll through the list of class options, as they don't always appear in order.
  • Click on the class you want. Your screen will refresh and you'll see the class time display on the calendar.
  • Some classes are offered in multiple locations at the same time. Once allocated, you can check the location on your calendar. If it isn't suitable, you can try changing to a different class.

If a class time is 'Unavailable' and you see a heart icon, it means the class is full but you can join a waitlist. If a spot becomes available, you'll automatically be removed from your current class and added to the new class. Only join a waitlist if you're sure you'd like to change to that class, as you may not be able to change back once moved.

Step 1: Locate the 'Unavailable' class you want to join
  • You can do this on the calendar or in the column on the right-hand side.
Step 2: Click the 'heart' icon
  • Clicking the heart icon adds you to the waitlist for that class.
  • Your screen will refresh and the heart icon will be shaded black.

_self
<p>If you change your mind about joining the class, make sure to cancel any waitlist requests by selecting the <strong>black heart</strong> icon. Otherwise, if a spot opens up, you'll be moved to the waitlisted class.</p>

cmp-callout--warning-red

If you don't see the 'heart' icon
  • If you're not allocated to a class and there are available options, you'll need to allocate yourself to a different class first. The heart icon should then appear.
  • You won't see the heart icon if joining that class would cause a clash between classes with mandatory attendance.

How to manage a clash

It's not always a problem if you have classes scheduled at the same time. If you think you have a clash, use the icons and labels on your timetable to find out more and decide what to do next.

If a class displays overlapping circles, attendance is not mandatory. The class will be recorded, so you can watch it later.

  • If both classes display overlapping circles, you can choose which class to attend.
  • If only one class displays overlapping circles, you must attend the other class, as attendance is mandatory for that class.

As long as you can meet the requirements of both units, you don't need to change your classes.

If classes display crossed arrows, it means we've manually allocated you to classes that clash with each other, and attendance is mandatory for both.

This only happens when we've been unable to find a timetable arrangement that avoids the clash based on your enrolled units.

_self
<p>You need to fix this type of clash. If you don't, you could fail one or more of your units because you haven't met the mandatory attendance requirements.</p>

h3

cmp-callout--warning-red

If two classes appear to be scheduled at the same time but you don't see overlapping circles or crossed arrows, the classes are likely running in different weeks or during different parts of the semester. For example, you might attend a tutorial in Week 1 and a lab in Week 2.

To check:

  • turn the Summary view off
  • select Week view
  • use the arrows to scroll through the weeks.

If you're already allocated to a class

  • If you're trying to change to a class that's marked Unavailable and there's no heart icon, the class clashes with one of your existing classes and both activities require attendance.
  • To join this class, you'll first need to move your existing class to a different time.

If you're not yet allocated to a class

  • If you aren't allocated to a class yet, first allocate yourself to one of the available classes.
  • If a heart icon appears, you don't have a clash. It just means the class is full and you can select the heart icon to join the waitlist.
