MyTimetable

MyTimetable is an online class allocation system accessed through MyVU.

In MyTimetable you can:

  • browse available times for the units you're enrolled in
  • specify your time preferences for when you'd like to attend
  • change your allocated times after preferences have been sorted (subject to availability).

Please note that it's your responsibility to confirm the location of your lectures and tutorials.

MyTimetable modes

Throughout the year, VU's MyTimetable will open in various modes that let you enter preferences, view your timetable or change allocations.

Here is an explanation of each mode with times that each take place:

  • Preference entry mode (9am): MyTimetable is open for you to enter your preferences. Your preferences are not handled in the order they are received, so you have plenty of time to review your options and build a timetable that works well.
  • Preference sort closed (8am): MyTimetable is closed as we sort your preferences and allocate you into classes.
  • Allocation open (9am): MyTimetable is open for you to view your personal timetable and change your allocations.
  • Read-only mode (3pm): MyTimetable is open for you to view your timetable, but you can't change allocations.
  • Closed for semester/block (3pm): MyTimetable is closed, and you can no longer view your personal timetable.

The dates for each mode of the timetable are listed under headings below.
