Timetables

With the degree of flexibility provided in the course, it is inevitable that there are combinations of subjects which cannot be taken, simply because of timetabling problems. However, experience over a relatively long period of time, and the provision of multiple timetabled classes in a number of subjects, have made it possible to reduce these problems to a minimum. At first-year level, where four disciplines may be taken, there are several hundred possible combinations of subjects and very few are unavailable due to timetable clashes. First-year students at Clayton have their enrolments automatically checked for timetable problems at the time of enrolment, and shortly after completion of the enrolment process each student is issued with a personalised computer-generated timetable for each subject chosen. Gippsland students and later-year students at Clayton should refer to the lecture timetable provided by the faculty office in December when planning a second or third-year program. Students wishing to enrol in a combination of subjects from different year levels or different faculties should carefully consider the timetable implications.
