Common questions

• What do I do if my class is full? Can I allocate myself to it?

  During the Review and Adjust period, you can make changes to your timetable if required.

  Here are some helpful steps:

  1. If all classes in your subject are full, check for messages in MyTimetable to see if more classes will be added.
  2. If there are no messages in MyTimetable, click the heart symbol on the classes you would like to attend. This action adds you to the waitlist for this class time, and you should continue to check back to see if more classes have been added. The waitlist works on a first-in, first-served basis.
  3. If there are still no more classes, submit a Timetabling Assistance Form (TAF) under the 'No available classes' category. A TAF is a request to the timetabling team and not automatically approved. You should be clear in your request and include supporting documentation for your reasons for the request.

  Further information on swapping to an available or full class is available here.

• What happens if I am not allocated to a class when semester starts because it is full?

  If all your class options are full, please follow the steps to add yourself to the waitlist. You may also need to submit a Timetabling Assistance Form (TAF).

  While you wait for your request to be resolved, you can request to attend a full class by seeking permission from your subject coordinator or tutor. You can find the time and location of all classes on your timetable. Once your allocation is finalised you must attend the allocated class.

  Please note that it can be logistically challenging to resolve timetabling requests, which may result in longer wait times. If you have submitted a TAF, you can expect a response within 5-10 business days. Thank you in advance for your patience whilst we process your request.

• What do I do if I have a clash in my timetable?

  A 'clash’ or ‘problem’ status in your timetable, may mean that your classes are overlapping or running at the same time.

  If you have a clash. You will need to try to select a new class time:

  • Log into MyTimetable and click on the 'clash' or 'problem' button for more information about the clashing subjects
  • If alternative class times are available that resolve the clash, change your class allocation
  • If the class time you need to resolve the clash is full, you can submit a swap request.

  Back-to-back classes are not a clash. Classes have a 5-minute gap at the start and end to allow for travel time.

  Further information on what to do if you have a clash is available here.

• How do I find my classroom?

  1. Log into MyTimetable and view your allocated classes on the Timetable tab.

  2. Look for the location details and copy the location code. The location code lists the information in the following order: Campus, building number, floor, room number, size. For example, ‘PAR-104-L1-101-Collaborative Learning Space (30)’:

  • PAR is the campus, Parkville
  • 104 is the building number, Alan Gilbert building
  • L1 is level one
  • 101 is the room number
  • Collaborative Learning Space (30) is the room name and size.

  

  3. Go to maps.unimelb and select your campus, e.g. ‘Parkville’ by clicking on the blue ‘Locations’ button on the top left-hand corner. Maps.unimelb will show you the location of the building as well as directions to the building from your current location.
  4. Paste the location code into the search box and your location should appear at the top of the list.
  5. Alternatively, you can search for your location by finding the building first. Type in ‘building’ and the building number into the search box, e.g. ‘building 104.’ The building will appear listed at the top in capital letters and the building number in brackets, e.g. ALAN GILBERT BUILDING, (ALAN GILBERT BUILDING (BUILDING 104)). You can then zoom in to find the location of your class.
