Timetabling Information

Class registration at the University of Melbourne is handled in a number of different ways. The main tool for this process is the Student Timetable system (a module of the new student system ISIS). This can be accessed via the Student Portal, under the Timetable tab.  For some subjects, class registration needs to be arranged manually by you.

More information on the new Student Timetable can be found here.

About the Student Timetable

The Student Timetable enables you to register into classes. You can do this by selecting your preferred class time out of the available class times. During your degree, most of your subjects will be timetabled through the Student Timetable. This means that in most cases, you are responsible for registering into classes for the subjects you are enrolled in.

Level 1 subjects

If the timetable for a specific class of a Level 1 subject states 'No availability' it means that all places for the first release (80%) have been filled for that class. Another 20% of places will be released 1 - 2 weeks before the start of the semester. 

After the second release, if you are still unable to register for a class in order to avoid a clash, please visit the EPSC for assistance to resolve your clash. Please check the clash resolution document before hand to view your options and bring a printed copy of your timetable with you to assist with your enquiry.

NOTE: If you are enrolled into a subject, you are required to register into classes for that subject. Please be assured that if you are enrolled into a subject required for your degree, there will be available places in classes for you - in each activity. The EPSC can assist you in registering into a class which does not clash, if the option is available.

Level 2 & 3 subjects

If the timetable for a specific class of a Level 2 or 3 subject states 'No availability' it means that all places have been filled for that class.

Some level 2 or 3 subjects have a staggered release of class places. Students will be able to see how many places and when they will be available in the student timetable. If after all the releases you are still unable to register for a class in order to avoid a clash, please visit the EPSC for assistance to resolve your clash. Please check the clash resolution document before hand to view your options and bring a printed copy of your timetable with you if you require assistance.
