If you’re an RMIT University student gearing up for the 2025 academic year, understanding how to manage your class schedule is essential. RMIT’s timetabling system, known as myTimetable, is designed to help you plan, view, and adjust your personal class timetable with ease. Here’s a fresh and straightforward guide to navigating myTimetable and making the most of your study schedule.
What is myTimetable?
myTimetable is RMIT’s online platform where higher education and vocational education students can select their class preferences and view their allocated timetable. It’s a personalized tool that helps you organize your lectures, tutorials, labs, and other classes, ensuring you know when and where your sessions take place.
How Does the Timetabling Process Work?
RMIT uses a preferential model for timetabling. This means you get to indicate your preferred classes during the preference entry period. After preferences close, the system allocates students to classes based on availability and demand. Once allocations are made, you can review and adjust your timetable during the allocation adjustment period on a first-come, first-served basis.
Key Timetable Dates for 2025
| Semester/Term | Preference Entry Opens | Allocation Adjustment Period |
|---|---|---|
| Semester 1 | From 10am, Monday 2 December 2024 | 10am Monday 17 February – 5pm Tuesday 1 April 2025 |
| Semester 2 | From 10am, Monday 26 May 2025 | 10am Monday 30 June – 5pm Friday 15 August 2025 |
Before classes start, you can also view a read-only version of the upcoming semester timetable to plan which classes you want to attend.
How to Use myTimetable
- Log In: Use your RMIT ID (starting with ‘s’ followed by your student number) and password to access myTimetable.
- Select Preferences: Choose your preferred class times and locations during the preference entry period. You can change your preferences multiple times before the deadline.
- Wait for Allocation: After preferences close, the system processes your selections and assigns you to classes.
- Review and Adjust: When the allocation adjustment period opens, check your assigned classes and make any necessary changes on a first-come, first-served basis.
- View and Export: Once finalized, you can view your personal timetable, print it, share it, or sync it with your calendar.
Understanding Class Locations
RMIT uses a simple numbering system for rooms: Building number.Floor number.Room number. For example, room 080.04.020 means Building 80, Level 4, Room 20. This helps you easily find your classes across the City, Bundoora, and Brunswick campuses.
Tips for a Smooth Timetabling Experience
- Act Early: Allocate your preferences as soon as the preference entry period opens to secure your desired classes.
- Be Flexible: Have backup class options in case your first choices are full.
- Check Regularly: Timetables can change, so keep an eye on myTimetable for updates.
- Seek Help: If you have questions or issues, contact RMIT’s Student Connect for assistance.
