Sample Timetables

UWA CELT runs dual timetables for ELICOS programs. Language and Communication Essentials usually runs as a morning program (8.30am - 12.45pm) however, the timetable is subject to change to an afternoon program (1pm - 5.15pm) at the discretion of the UWA CELT Academic Management Team. Confirmation of the program times will be provided to students at time of enrolment.

Students do not need to identify which timetable they would like to enrol in.  The Centre will place students in the most appropriate timetable based on their level of English and general demand.
