Class timetable
Once you’ve enrolled in your units, your next step is to set up your class timetable by choosing the days and times that would suit you best for each of your classes. You do this in an online application called Class Allocation System (CAS).
Want to know the proposed class times for units before you enrol?
Use the 2024 Timetable and Summer School Timetable systems to search for the unit(s) you’re interested in. Please note this information is not final and may change.
Important updates
Class Allocation System dates for Semester 1, 2025:
- Preference mode: Monday 16 December 2024 (12pm) until Monday 20 January 2025 (10am)
- Review and adjust mode: Wednesday 29 January 2025 (12pm) until Friday 7 March 2025 (12pm)
- Read only mode: Friday 7 March 2025 (12pm)
Choose your preferences
Preference mode is from Monday 16 December 2024 (12pm) until Monday 20 January 2025 (10am).
During this time you can select which class time you would prefer for each units’ classes. It's not your finalised timetable, but rather your preferred timetable.
Each of your units you will have a series of classes visible in CAS (e.g lectures, tutorials and seminars). Each class may have several timeslots available for you to choose from. Choose your top four timeslots (select 1 for your top preference).
CAS preferences are not first come first served so you don't need to worry about setting your preferences early.
Review and adjust your classes
Review mode is from Wednesday 29 January 2025 (12pm) until Friday 7 March 2025 (12pm).
During this time you can see your finalised timetable and make any adjustments before classes start.
Once the period for choosing preferences closes, CAS sorts through the preferences to generate the best timetables available for everyone. This means everyone gets an equal chance of receiving their first preferences.
During this time, you can;
- check that all of your classes have been allocated and select classes that haven’t been assigned
- swap your class time for another available class
- join a waitlist for a full class and if a seat becomes available and you are at the top of the waitlist you will be automatically swapped in.
During semester
Read only mode is from Friday 7 March 2025 (12pm).
All adjustments to your timetable must be completed by 12pm, Friday 7 March 2025. After that time, you can view the timetable in 'Read only mode' but not make changes.
Click on the timetable to see your finalised timetable, and select a class time to access Mazemaps to help you find your way to classes.
If you can’t attend an in person lecture that you’ve been assigned to in your class timetable, you can watch it online. If you’re unable to make a class, contact your Student Advising Office or refer to the information on EVA for class participation.
