Timetable FAQs

During the timetable selection period, you can use the myTimetable ‘heart’ ♥ function to request a place in a full class. Please note: 

• This does not guarantee a place for you in the requested class. 
  
• The ‘heart’ button is only available when (A) you have not selected any class, but all options are full or clashed with your existing timetable, or (B) you have selected a class but would like to change to another class which is full. 
  
• You can request a place in multiple classes. If one of your requests is satisfied, other requests will be cancelled. 
  
• You can cancel the requests by clicking on the heart again. 
  
• You will be notified when your request is processed successfully via the system or your RMIT email.  

How to request a place in a full class: 

• Log in to myTimetable via the Class timetables page 
  
• In the myTimetable enrolment panel, click on the class you want to join, and you’ll be presented with time options offered for the class. 
• Next to each class that’s full you’ll see a heart. Click on the heart to request a place in the class. You can request a place in as many classes as you like 
  
• If a place becomes available, the system will automatically allocate you to your requested class. 
  

If you submit a request but change your mind, don't forget to remove the request by clicking on the heart again. 

You can move out of a selected class by clicking on the ‘rubbish bin’ icon next to it. 

Changes in your courses might take some time to reflect in myTimetable, so allow up to 3 hours for the system to update.

There are some common login issues you may experience when using myTimetable. 

If you see the message Login error: You are not known by the system when trying to log in, it’s most likely because you've only just enrolled, and your courses haven’t loaded into myTimetable yet. Please wait for up to 3 hours and try again.

If you’re experiencing long login or loading time, it’s most likely because the system is under high demand. Please wait at least 30 seconds before refreshing a page, or you'll be moved to the back of the server queue for the system.
