Your timetable

You are responsible for accessing and checking the teaching session timetable information to work out where and when units are being offered. You will not receive any kind of hard copy timetable from Academic staff.

The online timetable in PlatformWeb allows you to see what lecture and tutorial times are available. It is a good idea to check this information as part of your unit selection research, as it will display lectures, tutorials and classes that you need to attend as part of your enrolment.

When you have enrolled and know when you want to attend lectures and tutorials, make a list and you will be ready when tutorial registration opens.

» UWS timetable

Most units have options for tutorials and classes, and you need to register to attend these. Tutorial registration is another online process separate to enrolment. You must be enrolled in your units before tutorial registration commences. Each school has a different opening time for tutorial registration. Places in certain tutorials can be in high demand and quite competitive. The earlier you register, the more choice of times and days you may have. Instructions on how to register are available online.
