2027 Enrolment dates: Semester 1 | Trimester 1
1. Plan your enrolment
Before you can start your enrolment process, you need to plan your program. By planning what courses to study and in which term, you create a clear path to graduation.
Start by checking your Program Handbook to get familiar with the requirements of your program, including your options for selecting a major, minor or specialisation (if applicable). Make your major selection in myHub, then if you are studying an undergraduate or postgraduate program, log into the Program Planner tool to map out your courses over the coming study terms.

2. Enrol in your courses
Now that you've planned your courses, it's time to enrol!
When enrolment opens for your study term, log into myUni and select the Enrolment tile. You’ll then be given the option to enrol using myUni (recommended) or to enrol using myHub. When you enrol using myUni, your planned courses from Program Planner will appear automatically - making it easier for you to enrol.
Explore the enrolment process for each system below.
To begin enrolling with myUni, select ‘Start Enrolment’ and choose the study term you'd like to enrol in from the drop-down menu.
Next, select ‘Add courses’ to view your pre-planned courses or search by course name or code to add new ones. Make sure you review your planned courses to make sure you still wish to enrol in them.
Select ‘Add to Cart’ to add your courses, then review them in your cart. Once you’re happy with your selection, select ‘Confirm Enrolment’.
How to enrol in myUni
Please note, if you’re a new student you will need to complete a mandatory to-do list in myHub before enrolling. Commonwealth supported students will also need a Unique Student Identifier (USI) to enrol, and must submit an Electronic Commonwealth Assistance Form (eCAF) by the census date.
If you choose to enrol with myHub, log in and select ‘Course Enrolment’ to enrol in your required courses.
Use ‘Find Courses’ to add each course to your cart using the Course Code. Once all courses are added, select ‘Confirm Enrolment’. You can view or edit your enrolment anytime under ‘Current Enrolment’.

3. Plan your class timetable
Once class times are released for your study term, visit the Plan tab in myTimetable to view available class times and start planning your timetable. You can choose which activities to include, explore how electives might fit in, and experiment with different combinations of classes. You can then print or download your plan so that you are ready when it comes time to preference or allocate your classes.
You can access myTimetable via myUni.
Plan your class timetable
4. Select your class times
After you have planned your timetable, the process to select your classes will depend on whether you're studying semester, trimester, midyear or online courses.
Class preferencing
Semester courses open for class preferencing ahead of each study term.
During the preferencing period, go to the Preference tab in myTimetable to view your enrolled courses. Where multiple class times are available, you can submit your preferred times to help build a timetable that works for you.
Class preferences aren’t processed on a first come, first served basis, so take your time to plan a timetable that works for you. You can submit or change your preferences any time before the preference period closes.
Check the key enrolment dates at the top of this page to find out when preferencing opens and closes for your study term.
How to preference your classes
Class allocations
After the preference period ends, myTimetable temporarily closes while the system allocates students to classes based on preferences where possible. Your allocated classes will then be released, and you will be able to view them in the Timetable tab of myTimetable.
If you enrolled after class preferencing, or if you didn't submit your preferences in time, you will be automatically allocated to non-clashing classes and activities where possible. If you still have courses which require class allocation, ‘Action Required’ will appear on your dashboard
If you need to change a class time, you can check availability or request a swap using the heart icon. If you have selected a swap, but change your mind, you will need to cancel the swap in myTimetable. Watch out for class clashes, and reach out to AskUON if you need help.
How to review your class allocations
Trimester and Midyear courses open for class allocation ahead of each study term.
You can select and allocate yourself directly into available classes without submitting preferences first. To do this, go to the Timetable tab in myTimetable. If you still have courses which require class allocation, ‘Action Required’ will appear on your dashboard.
Check the enrolment dates for your study term to find out when you can allocate your classes.
