Checking requirements and prerequisites

You can find course requirements and prerequisites in the Academic Calendar. You can also review the catalogue description in MyTimetable – just go to ‘show more’ on each class in the left-hand column.

Dates, times and locations

When you search for a course through the ‘Add Courses’ section, the date, time and location of the class will appear on the timetable in the results section, under each course.

Full courses and course availability

Both class and enrolment information are refreshed every 30 seconds so full courses shown on MyTimetable are accurate and up-to-date. 

Courses with a green circle are available and courses with a blue box are full. At this point we do not offer a wait-list for full classes.

Time blocking

You can click and drag to block out certain times in the schedule based on your commitments. The timeslot will appear grey once you have done this.

Time blocking won’t remove any timetables, just re-order the results so the ones that work best with your personal time constraints are at the top of the list. This way, you can really see all your options and make an informed decision about what works for you.

To remove a time block, just click on the grey area for the timeslot that you no longer want to block. The block will be removed to show that you are available.

Sorting results

In some cases, you may be facing tens or hundreds of possible options for your schedule. You can use the sort preferences found in the top right-hand corner of the results section to bring more favourable results to the front. While this will not eliminate other options, it allows the more favourable ones appear first so that you can scroll through less schedules before finding your favourite one.

You can sort your schedule results by going to ‘Sort Preferences’ on the right-hand side of the screen to include:

• None
• Most days off
• Morning classes
• Mid-day classes
• Evening classes
• Time off campus
• Most on-campus

Based on what preferences you select, your results may change.

If you come up with too many schedule possibilities while selecting courses, we recommend reducing the number of enabled classes or pin some classes before adding more courses. This will help you narrow down a timetable.

Pin courses

When you find a course section that you really want to keep, pin it down and the list will eliminate any timetable options that don’t include your pinned course or section. You can click to pin right on the time grid or in the list of courses. Now when you sort through, the system will hold that class constant and sort other combinations again. Just click again to un-pin.

When a class is unpinned, this may provide more possible schedule results to display searched classes during the day and time of the unpinned class.

To search for a class during a time that you already have a class enrolled, unpin the enrolled class and search for the desired course. The results section will display alternative schedule options.

Favourites

Go to ‘Favourite’ at the start of the page to save a timetable to refer to later. This will open a new panel and all timetables that you favourite can be found here. You can save 5 favourite schedules; this can be done before enrolment opens.

NOTE: Placing a timetable in ‘Favourites’ will NOT reserve a seat. Please complete your enrolment as soon as possible to avoid disappointment.

Once your enrolment appointment opens and you’ve created the timetable you want using the shopping cart, go to “Get This Schedule”. It’s recommended that you enrol as soon as you can after choosing your timetable. While the class availability updates every 30 seconds, it’s possible that a course which was not full when you were creating your timetable in MyTimetable might be full by the time you register.

From here, click “Go to Enrol” and you’re done! You can print your schedule by going to the “Print Schedule” link in the top left corner of the “Results” section.
