Creating your timetable
Allocate+ opens on Monday 6 July at 10am for preference entry.
Preference entry
During this time, you can:
- select a timeslot for your lectures. The earlier you do this, the better chance you’ll have of getting the times you want
- nominate preferred times for class activities such as tutorials, laboratories and practicals. It doesn’t matter how quickly you do this, as long as it's before the system closes.
Allocate+ will close on Monday 13 July at 10am so it can sort through the preferences.
Allocate adjustment
On Tuesday 21 July at 10am, Allocate+ will reopen for you to check your timetable for clashes and make changes if free timeslots are available. You also have the option of requesting a swap. The system works on a first-come, first-served basis during this time.
Semester two 2020
This semester, we're releasing your timetable in two stages:
- Tuesday 21 July at 10am: For activities in weeks 1–3 (3–21 Aug). All lectures and seminars will continue to be online for the remainder of 2020, and tutorials and other learning activities will be online until at least after the lockdown. All on-campus practicals and workshops will be postponed, with some exemptions.
- The release of the semester two timetable for week 4 onwards will be delayed until further notice.
You’ll be able to make changes to your timetable until 5pm on Friday 4 September.
For further information, see the fact sheet.
Exceptions
Some courses have a set timetable, so some students don't have to add their class activities. You'll only be able to view the timetable, not change it – this applies to Parkville students.
Off-campus: you don't need to create a timetable if you're not attending classes.
Get started
Log into Allocate+ using your Monash username and password.

Your units

When you log in, your units will be listed on the left-hand side.
Each unit has activities underneath (lecture, tutorial, etc.). It's these activities that you need to allocate preferred class times.
Status icons

Units with a green tick have been allocated for you by your faculty. Those with yellow have allocations pending approval. Units marked with red need to be allocated.
Numbering your preferences
View screenshot
You need to choose each activity with a red status, and put your preferred class times in order of 1 (most preferred time) to least preferred. The system will tell you how many preferences you need to enter.
Saving your preferences

Don't forget to save your preferences before moving on to the next activity. Ensure all class activities for your units have been allocated. You get another chance to change your preferred times once the system sorts then reopens for the adjustment period.
