Timetable FAQs

myTimetable is where you choose and manage your class times for each course. You can use it to: 

• Select, change, and remove (leave) or join a waitlist for a full class group. 
• View, print, and download your timetable as a PDF. 
• Subscribe to your timetable with Outlook, Apple Calendar, or Google Calendar. 
• Receive alerts for successful waitlist requests. 
• Adjust your time zone preferences. 

Everything is in one place to help you easily manage your study week. 

You can log in directly via your browser using your RMIT student email and password: 

• Even years (e.g., 2026, 2028...):https://mytimetable.rmit.edu.vn/even-student 
• Odd years (e.g., 2025, 2027...): https://mytimetable.rmit.edu.vn/odd-student 

Alternatively, you can access it through the myRMIT portal or the RMIT Vietnam Class Timetables page. 

You can only select, change, remove (leave), or request a waitlist for your class groups during the official Class Selection period.  

Outside of this timeframe, myTimetable is in Read-only mode. You will still be able to view your schedule, but no changes can be made 

Please check the Important Dates section on the RMIT Vietnam Class Timetables page for current or upcoming selection periods. 

Read-only mode means you can view your timetable but cannot make any changes. You will not be able to join, change, remove (leave), or waitlist for any class groups. 

During this time, all actions are disabled until the next Class Selection period opens. 

myTimetable works best with the latest versions of Chrome, Safari, Edge and Firefox.  

Yes. You can access myTimetable via your mobile browser (such as Safari or Chrome) by visiting: 

• Even years (e.g., 2026, 2028...):https://mytimetable.rmit.edu.vn/even-student 
• Odd years (e.g., 2025, 2027...): https://mytimetable.rmit.edu.vn/odd-student 

When using a mobile device, the layout adjusts to fit your screen: 

• Main Menu: Tap the hamburger icon (three horizontal lines) to access the menu. 
• Action Pane: Found at the bottom of the screen (use this to select your classes). 
• View Options: Switch between Grid View and List View using the tabs near the top. 
• Summary View: Tap the calendar icon to toggle this view ON and OFF.  

Tip: It is strongly recommended to complete your initial class selection on a laptop or desktop, so you can easily spot scheduling clashes. Mobile access is best used for quick timetable checks, finding classroom locations on the go, and monitoring waitlist statuses. 

Yes. You can use Public Timetables to view schedules for any course or program offered at RMIT Vietnam. 

These timetables allow you to see the scheduled times and locations for all classes, including lectures, tutorials, and labs. While you do not need to be enrolled in the specific course to see its timetable, you will need to log in with your RMIT credentials to view the schedule. 

• Grid View displays your classes in a weekly calendar layout. This is your main workspace where you can fully manage your schedule: select, change, or remove (leave) class groups, and join waitlists. 
• List View displays your classes in a simple vertical list. This view is primarily for reviewing your schedule; the only action you can take here is to remove (leave) your current class group. 

To make any other changes to your timetable, always ensure you are in Grid View. 

Summary View provides a full-semester overview of all your classes in one place, allowing you to easily see your complete study load at a glance. 

• How to access it: Use the Summary toggle at the top of the Timetable page to turn this view on or off. 
• When to use it:  
  • Turn it ON when you need a big-picture look at your entire semester.  
  • Switch it OFF when you need to focus on your schedule for a specific week or day.  

The Action Pane is the panel located on the right side of the Timetable page (or at the bottom of the screen if you are using a mobile device). It displays: 

• Your enrolled courses that require class group selection. 
• Class-type cards for each course (e.g., Lecture, Tutorial, Lab). 
• Your current class group for each class type, which appears once you have successfully joined a class. 
• Alternate class groups, allowing you to see other available times in case you want to change your schedule or join a waitlist for a full class group. 
• A View More option on the class-type cards, which lets you explore a detailed table of the class group information. 

The Summary Toggle controls whether the Action Pane is visible on your screen. 

• When Summary Toggle is ON: The Action Pane appears, allowing you to make class selections or changes (provided the system is not currently in read-only mode).  
• When Summary Toggle is OFF: The Action Pane is hidden, and you cannot select or change any class groups. You will need to turn the Summary toggle back ON to allocate or adjust your classes. 

On the weekly Timetable grid, different visual styles are used to indicate the status of each class group: 

• Solid-coloured blocks: The class groups you have successfully joined. 
• Empty boxes with dotted outlines: Alternative class groups that are currently available for you to select. 
• Boxes with diagonal stripes: Class groups that are currently full or unavailable. 

These visual cues make it easy to compare your current schedule with other available options. 

Class Type: The specific class requirement you must complete for a course (e.g., Lecture, Tutorial, Lab). 

Class Group: A specific scheduled day and time for that Class Type (e.g., Tutorial 01 on Monday, 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM). You must select a class group for every Class Type listed under your enrolled courses. 

Combinations (linked class groups): Some courses require specific class groups to be selected together. For example, selecting a particular Lecture stream may require you to select a matching Tutorial. 

Multiple Class Options: A time slot that is shared by several different class groups.  

Multipart Class: A single class group that is split across several required sessions. Remember that you must attend all sessions for your selected class group, as you cannot pick sessions from different groups. 

A waitlist is a queue for a class group that is currently full. Once you are on a waitlist, the system may automatically move you into that class if a spot becomes available. 

You will only see the option to join a waitlist (the 'heart' icon) if: 

• You haven't selected a class yet, but all available options are either full or clash with your existing timetable. 
• You already have a class, but you want to change to a different class group that is currently full. 

Key things to know about the waitlisting: 

• It is only available during the official Class Selection period. 
• It only appears for class groups marked with diagonal stripes and a white ‘heart’ icon. 
• It does not guarantee you a place in the class. 

Important note: If you decide to keep your current class, cancel your waitlist request immediately. If your waitlist is successful, you will be moved automatically and will lose your original spot. 

On the Timetable page, check the Class-type cards within the Action Pane. 

• If you see a small ‘red triangle alert’ icon: This means you still need to select a class group for that specific class type. 
• Once you join a class group: The red triangle will disappear. Your selection will then appear as a solid-coloured block on your timetable grid, and it will be listed in the Current Class section of that class-type card. 

Important note: You will be withdrawn from a course if it remains unallocated after the Selection Period closes. Please ensure that all your class groups are selected before the deadline! 

To see the full details of a class group, click View More on any Class-type card. This will open a Class Details table displaying: 

• Day and time 
• Weeks taught 
• Available seats 
• Campus and location 
• Lecturer 
• Timetable Issue Alerts (e.g., a "full" or "clash" warning) 

Reviewing these details makes it easier to compare your options and choose the class group that best fits your schedule. 

You can only select a class group during the official Class Selection period. Look for a ‘red triangle icon’ on a Class-Type card in the Action Pane, which indicates that you still need to select a class group for that Class Type. 

You can choose whichever of these four methods works best for you:  

• Direct Selection: Click on the Class-Type card to expand it, then click on the specific Class Group card you want to join.  
• ‘View More’ Table: Click the "View More" link on the Class-Type card, then click the "Join Class" button next to your preferred group.  
• Drag & Drop: Click and drag the Class-Type card from the Action Pane and drop it directly onto your preferred timeslot on the timetable grid.  
• Select on Grid: Click on the Class-Type card, then click on your preferred timeslot directly on the Timetable grid to join.  

When you successfully select a class group: 

• A confirmation message will appear at the bottom-left of your screen.  
• The triangle alert icon will disappear from the class card.  
• Your new class will be listed under the Current Class section and will appear as a solid-coloured block on your timetable grid.  

Important note: The Drag & Drop and Select on Grid options are not available if you see the 'Multiple class options' icon, which means the timeslot has overlapping class groups. If you see this, please use the Direct Selection or View More method instead. 

Yes. You must select exactly one class group for every Class Type (e.g., Lecture, Tutorial, Lab) listed under your enrolled courses in the Action Pane.  

If a course has multiple Class Types, you must join a group for each one to complete your timetable for that course. 

Important note: There is an exception for peer-assisted learning (PAL) class types. It is not compulsory to select a class group for PAL classes. Please note that PAL courses are only published in myTimetable after the Class Selection period has closed. 

Yes. Even if there is only one class group available for a specific class type, you must still log in to myTimetable and select that group. Your place in the class is not confirmed until you do this. 

Important reminders: 

• To secure your spot: You must join the class group during the Class Selection period. 
• To drop the course: If you no longer want to take the course, you must officially drop it in myRMIT. Do not simply leave the class unselected in myTimetable. 

No, you will not receive a confirmation email for every individual selection you make. 

Instead, you can be sure your selection was successful by checking for these three indicators: 

• Confirmation Message: A brief message appears at the bottom left of your screen immediately after you join a class group (note: this message disappears after a few seconds). 
• Timetable Grid: Your class appears as a solid-coloured block on your Timetable grid. 
• Action Pane: Your selected class group is listed under the Current Class section of the relevant class-type card. 

If you can see the class on both your grid and in the Action Pane, your selection has been saved successfully in the system. 

If a specific time slot on the timetable grid has multiple overlapping class groups, the 'Drag and Drop' and 'Select on Grid’ options are disabled.  

In these cases, you must use the 'Direct Selection' or 'View More table’ methods in the Action Pane to manage your class. 

Once the Class Selection period has ended, myTimetable returns to Read-only mode. This means you can no longer select or change your class groups within the system. 

Important note: Courses with no class group selection will be withdrawn. 

Please check the Important Dates section on the RMIT Vietnam Class Timetables page and reach out to the Student Connect team if you require assistance with your enrolment. 

Generally, no. Classes are filled on a first-come, first-served basis during the Class Selection period. 

However, the University may make exceptions to give priority access to certain student groups, such as those in specific programs or equity groups. 

When selecting linked class groups (combinations), the system provides clear visual markers to help you build a valid schedule. 

• Incompatible Selections: If all class groups for the next step in a workflow (the next Class type) appear unavailable, it indicates that your initial selection is not compatible with any of the remaining options. You will need to restart the workflow and choose a different starting class group to view new valid combinations. 
• Automatic Selection: To simplify the process, if only one valid option exists for a specific step in the guided workflow, myTimetable may select it for you automatically. 
• Confirming Success: Your selection is finalised only after you review your choices and click Confirm. Once successfully joined, the classes will appear as solid-coloured blocks on your timetable grid, and the red triangle alert icons will disappear from the class-type cards in the Action Pane. 

Important note: You cannot change or remove individual class groups within a combination. Any adjustments require you to complete the entire guided workflow again. 

You can change your selection at any time during the Class Selection period. Choose the method that works best for you: 

• Direct Change: Click on a new group directly on the Class-type card from the Action Pane. 
• View More: Click View More > Join Group within the class details table. 
• Drag and Drop: Drag your card from the Action Pane onto the Timetable grid. 
• Change on Grid: Click any available time slot directly on the Timetable grid. 

Important note: The ‘Drag & Drop’ and ‘Change on Grid’ options are not available if you see the 'Multiple class options' icon, meaning the timeslot has overlapped class groups. Use the ‘Direct Change’ or ‘View More’ methods instead. 

After selecting, follow the prompts and click Confirm when asked. 

• A confirmation message will appear at the bottom-left of the screen. 
• Your new class will appear as a solid-coloured block on your Timetable grid. 
• The new class group will be listed under the Current Class section of the relevant class-type card in the Action Pane. 

Clashing class groups are clearly marked on your Timetable grid as diagonally striped time slots or labeled as Unavailable. 

To resolve the clash, you can change to another class group using any of these methods: 

• Direct Change: Select a new available class group directly on the Class-type card. 
• View More: Click View More > Join Group for a non-clashing time slot. 
• Drag and Drop: Drag your card from the Action Pane into a new available time slot. 
• Change on Grid: Click any available time slot directly on the Timetable grid. 

If you still can’t resolve the clash, contact Student Connect for enrolment advice. 

No. Always change your class instead of leaving it. The system performs a one-step swap, ensuring you don't lose your current spot if the new class is unavailable. 

Changing a class group is a secure swap, while leaving removes you entirely from that class type.  

• Changing a class group: A one-step swap that replaces your current group automatically. You always remain in a class group during this process. 
• Leaving a class group: Removes you from the group, leaving you with no class group for that Class Type until you manually join another one. 

Recommendation: Always use Change instead of Leave. This ensures you don't lose your spot in a preferred timeslot while trying to find a new one. 

If you leave a class without joining a new one, you will have no selected class group for that Class Type. 

This has several important consequences: 

• Course Withdrawal: Courses with no class group selection will be withdrawn after the Class Selection period closes. 
• No reserved spot: You will have no scheduled time for that activity on your timetable. 
• Attendance and Assessment: Not being in a class group can negatively impact your attendance records and your eligibility for specific assessments. 

Recommendation: Always use the Change option to swap groups safely. You should only use ‘Leave Class’ if you are certain that you can join another group immediately, or if you want to remove yourself from the group completely. 

You can join a waitlist for a full class group during the Class Selection period using the ‘heart’ icon. The ‘heart’ icon will only appear if: 

• You haven't selected a class yet, but all available options are either full or clash with your existing timetable. 
• You already have a class, but you want to change to a different class group that is currently full. 

Ways to join the Waitlist: 

• Direct Change: Click the white ‘heart’ icon on a class group directly on the Class-type card. 
• View More: Click View More > Waitlist next to the preferred full class group. 
• Drag and Drop: Drag your card from the Action Pane into a striped timeslot with a white ‘heart’ on the Timetable grid. 
• Request on Grid: Click the white ‘heart’ icon on a striped timeslot in the Timetable grid. 

Tracking Your Request: 

• Status: A confirmation message appears, and the ‘heart’ icon turns black once your request is submitted. 
• Notification: If your waitlist request succeeds, the system will alert you on your main Dashboard, in the Alerts tab, and through your student email. 

Important note:  

• The ‘Drag & Drop’ and ‘Change on Grid’ options are not available if you see the 'Multiple class options' icon, meaning the timeslot has overlapped class groups. Use the ‘Direct Change’ or ‘View More’ methods instead. 
• Stay in your current class while waiting. If a place doesn’t open, you will keep your original seat, ensuring you aren't left without a class group. 
• If you decide to keep your current class, cancel your waitlist request immediately. If your waitlist is successful, you will be moved automatically and will lose your original spot. 

No. Do not leave your current class group. Waitlisting functions as a swap, ensuring you don't lose your guaranteed spot. 

• Stay Enrolled: You remain in your current class group while on the waitlist. 
• Automatic Move: You are only moved if a place becomes available in your preferred group. 
• No Risk: If no place opens, you simply remain in your original class. 

Some class groups may not support waitlisting, in which case the white ‘heart’ icon will not be displayed. 

Yes. You can join multiple waitlists for the same class type.  

Simply click the 'Waitlist' button for any of the full class groups that support waitlisting and fit your schedule. If a place becomes available in any of your waitlisted options, the system will automatically move you into that class, and other requests will be cancelled. 

You can cancel a waitlist request at any time before it becomes successful. To remove yourself from a waitlist, simply repeat the action you took to join it:  

• Click the black ‘heart’ icon on the class card or the timetable grid, OR  
• Click the On Waitlist button next to the class in the View More table.  

A confirmation message will appear on your screen. Click Remove to officially cancel your request.  

Important note: If you decide you are happy with your current class, please cancel your waitlist request immediately. If your waitlist is successful, you will be moved automatically and will lose your original spot. 

No. You must only attend the class group you are officially joined in myTimetable, even if the room appears to have space, or the time suits you better. 

Here is why: 

• Room Capacity: Rooms have strict occupancy limits.  
• Attendance Tracking: Your attendance is only recorded if you attend your allocated session. Attending a different group will result in being marked absent. 
• Assessment: Many assessments are tied to specific class groups. Attending the wrong session can negatively impact your grades. 

Recommendation: If your current schedule is not suitable, use the Change or Waitlist options to move into a different class group.  

Do not simply attend the class. Even with a lecturer's verbal permission, you must officially join a class group in the system to be recognised. 

Contact Student Connect straight away for advice. Attending a class group you’re not officially allocated to can affect your assessment and results. 

No. Individual teaching staff and tutors cannot change your timetable in myTimetable. 

If you are unable to resolve a clash or join a group yourself, contact Student Connect for assistance. 

Go to the Timetable tab to see your complete weekly schedule. To save or print a copy: 

1. Click the ‘Print to PDF’   icon in the top-right corner. 
2. When the browser window opens, choose Save as PDF or select your preferred printer. 

You can use the 'Filter' image  icon in the top-left corner of the Timetable grid. This allows you to show or hide specific class types, such as filtering to only see your Online classes or Tutorials. 

Yes. You can subscribe to your timetable in your personal calendar: 

• Get the Link: Go to Settings > Preferences in myTimetable and select Copy iCal subscription link. 
• Confirmation: The button will turn green once the link is successfully copied to your clipboard. 
• Subscribe: Paste this link into your calendar app using the Subscribe by URL (or "Add by URL") feature. 

Your personal calendar will automatically reflect any changes you make in myTimetable. 

Yes. While the default is Ho Chi Minh City (UTC+7), you can adjust this to match your local time if you are overseas. 

There are two ways to change your time zone: 

• Settings: Go to Settings > Preferences to select a different zone. 
• Quick Change: Use the time zone dropdown located in the top-right corner of the Dashboard or Timetable pages. 

Note: Changing the time zone updates the display across your entire schedule, ensuring you never miss a session due to a time difference. 

Yes. You can click 'Create Event' at the top left of the Timetable grid to add custom events to your schedule. These events will appear in green.  

Important note: Adding a location to a custom event is your personal reference only; it does not officially book a campus room. 

You can monitor your status and stay updated through these primary channels: 

• Alerts tab: Click the bell icon to view your full notification history on the Alerts page. 
• Dashboard: This area highlights unread alerts and any Action Required items, such as pending class selection tasks. 
• Email: Your School may also send direct email notifications for major timetable changes or critical updates. 

If the interface isn't letting you make changes, verify these three things: 

• Correct Link: Ensure you are using the specific odd/even year myTimetable link. 
• System Status: Check the Important dates to ensure the system is not in Read-only mode. 
• Summary Toggle: Ensure the toggle is set to ON, so the Action Pane is visible. 

If you still cannot select or change classes, contact Student Connect. 

If you cannot see one of your enrolled courses, it may be because: 

• The timetable for the semester has not been published yet.  
• Your enrolled course currently does not have a timetable - check Canvas for more details.  
• Your recent enrolments have not yet synced to myTimetable (this may take a few hours).   

Changes to your enrolment (adding or dropping courses) take up to 3 hours to sync from myRMIT to myTimetable.  

If your timetable still looks wrong after that time, contact Student Connect for assistance. 

No. If you’re studying in the School of English & University Pathways (SEUP), your timetable is managed and provided by your School, not through myTimetable. 

Here are some common issues and what to try: 

• “Login error: You are not known by the system”: If you just enrolled, wait 3 hours for your account to sync, then try again. 
• Long loading time: The system might be busy. Wait around 30 seconds, then refresh the page. 
• Password issues: Use the Password assistance tool to reset or update your credentials. 
• Still can’t log in? Contact Student Connect or IT Support for further help. 

• Instructions: See the User Guides and Tutorial Videos on the RMIT Vietnam Class Timetables. 
• Enrolment & Selection Questions or Clashes: Contact Student Connect. 
• Technical & Login Issues: Contact IT Support.
