Accessing My Timetable
Access the timetable through:
Note: You can only access the timetable after you have completed your enrolment via My Student Admin.
You can also follow the video below:
Hello everyone. In this video, I will show you how to read, choose, and view your timetable. Let’s get started!
This video will assume that you have already enrolled into your subjects for the upcoming sessions. To check this, you can visit the Current Enrolments section within the Subjects tab on your My Student Admin.
Go to your myTimetable, choose the appropriate year, login with your student ID and password, and once you log in you will see this home page.
Now that you are in your myTimetable, you will be able to see all the subjects you are enrolled into in the upcoming calendar year.
Such as these subjects for Autumn and Spring. Under each of these subjects you may see multiple activities, some having lectures, tutorials, sections and seminars. Lots of subjects will have a variety of types and numbers of activities listed. You need to make sure that you have a time allocated under each of these activities.
If you do have a subject that has a section, you will need to decide on a section, and choose one option for every kind of class listed under that section. A subject coordinator may decide to implement sections for a number of different reasons, such as making sure the same students are on campus on the same day to help with group work.
In this example if we were to choose section 1, denoted by SC01, we wouldn’t be able to choose any of the times shown under section 2.
Your myTimetable can show a lot of information, so it will be best to get a good idea of what everything means.
First let’s take a look at the status bar just underneath your name.
This status bar will give us a quick breakdown of all the activities you have allocated, and how many you still have remaining. you should aim for this ‘Not allocated’ section to be zero by the end of video.
Now let's take a look at one of these subjects.
Above the name of the subject you will see a code that gives us some helpful information into the subject you are choosing a timetable for.
The first five digits in this code will show a code unique to that subjec, after that you see SPR, this signifies that you are enrolled into the subject for the Spring session, but this can also show AUT for Autumn, or SUM for Summer.
After this you will see a letter U. This signifies the campus in which the subject is taking place. Here you might see either U for Ultimo or MP for Moore Park.
And at the end you see a letter S. This signifies the subject’s study mode. In this case it shows us S which means this is a standard mode subject that will usually run the full length of a session. You may also see D for distance or online subjects, or B for block mode subjects, which are often run in shorter, more intensive study periods.
Now let's take a look at choosing a time for the Tutorial for the subject Managing People and Organisations (depending upon available subject in test environment).
Now that you have selected the tutorial, on the right it now shows us all the available times this class runs. It will give us the activity number, day, time, campus, location during session, duration, and any additional notes.
In this example there are a number of times available for this tutorial, and you can choose from any of them that show select. In some scenarios you may automatically get allocated into a time, usually if there is only one spot available.
In addition to seeing the message select, you may also see the button say full, indicating that the class has reached its capacity, or Clash, which means that the class is running at the same time as another once of your allocated subjects.
Let's choose this first available time.
In myTimetable, you can also view your timetable allocations in a calendar view. To do this click on the Timetable button in the top right.
This will show us all your allocated activities in a weekly breakdown. You can use the filter classes button to only show classes for a given session, or use the arrow buttons to jump through your calendar on a week by week basis.
By repeating the steps in this tutorial you should be able choose times for all of your classes for the upcoming year.
You can now also use this section to add your UTS timetable to your upcoming personal calendar.
For more information, please visit the My Timetable help guide on the UTS website, or contact the UTS student centre.
