Timetable help!!

[Reus]

Okay so I'm literally foreign to all this, and don't know how to do it. How do I manage my timetable and set my tuts/lectures?
Also when do we choose majors?

Thanks!!

Thanks helped a lot.

However I can not access my allocate+ since "I'm not in the system" is this because I haven't completed my CSP/HECS through WES (waiting for a TFN)?

You probably cant access it if you're a full student. You can check timetables on Mutts though.

Yep that worked, thanks.

When's the due date for timetables etc

When's the due date for timetables etc

On your my.monash page, there should be a section detailed "important dates", filled with dates like this that you need. According to this section, preference entry ends on the 19th of Feb.

Also, reminder to those turning to MUTTS:

IF YOU HAVE LABS, YOU MUST BE ENROLLED IN THEM (also with 50% of tutes or so). If you're not enrolled in a lab, and get one you don't like, you MUST go to the one you don't like. The lab you're enrolled in is the lab you get marks for, and changing labs is not as easy as showing up to a tute and being all, "oh yeah, the tutor said I could come to this lab this week".

Particularly, most labs are hurdles (i.e., you must pass them to pass the unit), so you want to get a lab session you like. So, make sure you check allocate+ after enrollment so you can get the lab you want. If you have troubles logging into allocate+ on the lead-up to preference entry closing, contact Monash and get it sorted.

Also, guys can I get clarification on what subject codes mean?

Eg. LAW1011 vs LAW2011.

What does the first number signify? If it's 1011 does it mean it's a first year subject and 2011 a second year subject?

I am also going to cram in one extra question.

When I am in the Monash timetabling system, I see that there are already units in there for me - are those the compulsory, faculty added ones? How many more units can I add? Or a better question is, how do we know how many units we need to study?  I am doing a double degree in Arts and Law.. how do I know how many Arts unit I can do and how many Law units I can do?

Cheers!

Yes that's basically it - and I guess when you're picking other units you pick the ones with 1 as the first number in it (first-year unit)!

It means 1011 is a level one subject and 2011 is a level two subject, so you had the right general idea but there's a few differences. It doesn't mean you have to do 1XXX subjects only in first year and 2XXX subjects only in your second etc. You can do any subject in any year so long as you meet the prerequisites, have completed three two level one subjects before starting a level two subject, and a similar complete some level two subjects before any level three. You also need to make sure don't go over whatever the maximum amount of level one subjects in your course is. Check the handbook for this, because I'm not sure what Arts/Law requires.

I believe that those will be the compulsory units. Somewhere under the handbook for Arts/Law it'll say you how many units you need to do in each subjects. It may say credit points instead, a standard unit is worth six credit points, some are occasionally worth more but just divide the total credit points of each faculty by six to get a rough idea of what you need to do.

I did not know that crap thank you for clarifying! does that mean we can do like level 2 subs in first year? thANKS

Yes - in first year, I did three level 2 subjects. Coming into second year, I'm doing two level three subjects.

For some reason, I can't enrol into Level 2 subjects. The system says "System error - 0 out of 2 Level 1 subjects completed" .....

I'm assuming you have to have completed at least two level 1 subjects, then. Just try enrolling after exams/results, when you've "officially" completed the units. (unless they're semester 1 units, in which case just e-mail the unit coordinator and ask for special permission)

[Reus]

When you guys are enrolling in units are you creating your timetable? I am unable to do so since I don't have a TFN and will wait till tomorrow at the info session.

(Just worried if timetables are being created and by the time I am able to do so, I'll cop a terrible timetable -.-)
