0.28 – 0.59 Selecting Courses for Timetable Plan
Select the courses that you would like to include in your timetable plan.
These can either be courses that you are already enrolled in or alternatively you can search for courses by typing the course code in the search bar if you are wanting to create a timetable plan for courses you are not enrolled.
Once you have selected the courses you wish to include your timetable plan, Click Generate and then OK on the pop-up message.
The screen will then display a timetable plan, click on the grid view to edit this plan.
To make changes click on an activity in the grid view to see other times that are available for that activity group. The alternative times will display, and the other courses will be greyed out in order to allow you to view and compare suitable timetable options on the one screen.
It is important to note that if there is only one option available for that activity group a lock will be displayed on the activity indicating that no other options are available to be selected.
Once you are happy with your Timetable plan, click the save button, enter a plan name and then click the ok button.
To view this plan in list view you can select the list icon or to view the timetable plan in the grid view select the grid icon. You are able to view your timetable plan across all weeks or view it for particular weeks if desired using the arrow button to navigate to that particular week.
Any changes made to a saved plan can either be replaced by selecting Save or you can keep the initial plan and create a new plan with those changes by selecting ‘save as’ and giving this plan a new name. You are able to save multiple plans for comparison.
It is important to note that creating a Timetable Plan in MyTimetable does not actually allocate you into any classes.
However, you are able to Allocate into your classes directly from the preferred timetable plan.
To do this you must first view your timetable plan in list view.
You must also ensure that you are enrolled in all the courses selected in your timetable plan in order for them to be ready to Allocate. If not already allocated into an activity group, select that activity group name under the group column.
This will take you to the allocation adjustment screen for the activity where you can make changes informed by your preferred plan.
Visit the MyTimetable website for any further information or support.
