Explanation of Higher Education timetables

We have three types of timetables for our bachelor and postgraduate degrees taught in Melbourne:

  • Four-week Block Model timetable: for students who are studying in four-week blocks, as part of the VU Block Model, where units are taught one after the other.
  • Eight-week Block Model timetable: for students who are studying in eight-week blocks (two units over eight weeks), as part of the VU Block Model
  • Standard Higher Education timetable: for students studying multiple units at the same time over a semester.

Our trimester timetables apply to the following:

We may be able to grant you consideration for medical reasons that affect your ability to attend particular class times. To be considered you need to register with Disability & accessibility services and have submitted your preferences using MyTimetable.

See our academic calendars for semester, trimester and study-break dates.

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.
