Make changes to your class timetable

You might need to make changes to your timetable, especially if you have a clash.

About clashing classes

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

Tip: Make sure to turn the Summary toggle off in the timetable tab to check for any timetable clashes.

Back-to-back classes are not a clash

Classes have a five-minute grace period at the start and end for travel time.

For example, a class listed as 9–10am runs from 9.05am and end at 9.55am.

How to check if classes are clashing:

  1. Log into MyTimetable
  2. Go to your timetable and turn off the summary view and view your timetable week by week
  3. Look at the left side of the class list, clashing classes will be listed as unavailable
  4. Check the timetable grid. Clashing classes will appear as shaded blocks- click to see more details about the clash.

What to do if your classes clash

If there are other class times available that don't clash, switch to one of them.

If the class time you need is full, you can submit a swap request by following the relevant instructions below.

How to change your timetable

    1. Click on your timetable in the left-hand panel. Your classes will appear on the right.
    2. Check your current and alternate classes:
      • Your allocated classes are listed under Current Class.
      • Other available classes are listed under Alternate Classes. Click View more to open a new window if needed.
    3. Check class availability:
      • Available classes (with open spots) have no heart icon.
      • Full classes only show a heart icon if there are no available classes left to join.
      • You must first select an available class before the heart icon will appear for your preferred full classes.
    4. Select the class you want to attend from the list of available classes.
    5. Click Join Class to move to the new class.
    6. Click Save to finish.
    1. Click on your timetable on the left-hand side panel:
      • Classes that are full will have the outline of a heart in the bottom right hand corner
      • Classes that are available will not have a heart
    2. Request a swap to join the waitlist for a full class by clicking on the heart icon
    3. The heart will turn solid once you add yourself to the waitlist
    4. You can request multiple class swaps at once if you want to switch to other full classes
    5. You need to stay in your current class while your swap request is pending
    6. If a spot opens, you’ll get a notification:
      • Your swap request will be marked as successful
      • You’ll be taken out of your current class
      • The new class will show as ‘allocated’.

    Update your waitlist once you're happy with your timetable:

    • If you have classes on your waitlist that you no longer need, please remove them
    • If you do not remove a class from your waitlist, you could be moved into a class if a spot becomes available, changing your timetable.
  • If there aren’t any available places to swap into, you’ll be added to a waitlist for that class, your swap will stay pending until:

    • A spot becomes available
    • You cancel
    • Or the waitlist closes.

    Swap requests are not guaranteed:

    • Waitlists close at the end of the review and adjust period
    • If a spot isn’t open by then, you can’t join the class you wanted
    • You’ll have to go to the class you were assigned.
  • To cancel the swap request, click the solid heart and it will return to an outline.

    It's important to cancel unwanted swap requests. If you do not remove the swap request, you will be allocated to the class if a spot becomes available.

  • If you cannot allocate to any classes a subject or class type offers because all options are full:

    1. Check for messages at the top of the page to see if more classes will be added
    2. If there are no messages, follow the above steps for how to swap to a full class
      • You can use the swap function even if you have no classes allocated for your subject
    3. Keep checking back to see if more classes have been added
    4. If no places are open and no new classes appear, submit a Timetabling Assistance Form (TAF), no available classes category.
    1. Find the class you want to leave in your timetable or class list.
    2. Click the bin icon next to that class.
    3. Confirm that you want to remove yourself. Once you leave, your spot may be taken by someone else. If you change your mind, you might not be able to get back in.

  • If your mandatory core subjects on your study plan are clashing:

    1. Select the Mandatory classes in core subjects clashing category.

What to do if you cannot resolve your class clash

If your classes still clash after these options, fill out a Timetabling Assistance Form (TAF).
