Enter preferences in Allocate+

Allocate+ must be in preference entry mode

Check Allocate+ access dates.

Choose your preferred times for activities with repeat sessions. Activities include lectures, tutorials and lab work.

At this stage, it doesn't matter who enters preferences first. This system will sort all preferences to minimise clashes.

Your units are listed on the left side of the screen. Select an activity link (eg. lecture, tutorial...)	See abbreviations used in unit codes If the list is incorrect, check your enrolment in WES If an activity is run only once, your allocation will often be automatic.	Select a unit activity
Activity times and checkboxes display. Number your preferences including any time slots with flags. When finished click Submit Preferences	Use 1 for your first preference. If less than 6 time slots, fill all time slots. If more than 6, any more than 6 are optional. Include all flagged time slots (if any appear) in your preferences. The % indicates the popularity of the activity. Once this exceeds 100%, more students have chosen this as their first preference than there are places available.	Number your preferences Popularity percentages

Before the sort, check Allocate+ each week	We don't notify you of cancelled or amended activities during preference entry. Keep checking the system as you may need to select a replacement. Percentage popularity changes over time. You can assess this and decide if you want to change your preferences.	Popularity changes
Next step: After the sort, check and adjust your allocations	After you have been allocated to activities, your timetable will appear in the: 1) My Timetable tab in Allocate+ (shows all weeks) 2) my.monash portal (shows current week only). You need to check messages in these systems in case you have any unallocated activities. Some labs and support classes start in week 2 and will not show during week 1 in the portal.
