Glossary
Click here to view some key terms for using MyTimetable
Term | Description |
---|---|
Timetable Dates | Class Allocation Opens two weeks before Teaching Period commences Class Allocation closes three weeks after Teaching Period commences |
Activity | In MyTimetable "activity" refers to a teaching activity e.g. tutorial, class, lecture etc. An Activity is a scheduled teaching event that a student will attend. An Activity has a start time, a day of the week, and a location. During the allocation process, a student selects (or is assigned to) one of these options. The student's personal timetable comprises all allocated activities for their enrolled subjects |
Activity Groups | Activity Groups define what types of classes or teaching activities a student must attend in order to complete a Subject. For example, to complete the Subject 'Introduction to Biochemistry', a student might be required to attend one tutorial and two different lectures each week. Each of these items is defined by an Activity Group. Types of activity available for one particular course:
|
Activity Status | [SELECT]: You are able to allocate into this class activity [ADJUST]: You are allocated into this activity however you are able to change your selection [READ ONLY]: This class activity is either the only activity available, and so you are automatically allocated, or the allocation/adjustment period is over and timetabling has been finalised [OFF]: The activity has not been scheduled yet and so students are unable to allocate into this class activity |
Allocated | The MyTimetable status update of "Allocated" means that the student is allocated to the class. |
Allocation | This refers to the process of allocating/self-allocating students into an activity that has a repeat. Synonyms: registration, sign-up. |
Allocation Adjustment | Allocation adjustment is the process of changing an allocation previously confirmed. This may include deallocating, swap or waitlist to different allocation. In MyTimetable the student will see the mode "adjust" on previously confirmed allocations indicating that they can change the allocation if desired. |
Allocation Status | Allocated: The class activity has been allocated to your timetable Pending: You have made an action on a class activity that is pending approval. There is no further action needed to be taken until you are notified if the action is possible Not allocated: You are required to allocate into a class activity |
Clash | The MyTimetable status update of "Clash" informs the student that there is a clash with one of their other allocations. |
Clash/clashable activities | A clash means that an activity clashes with another one on a student timetable in MyTimetable system. You may choose to make an activity "clashable" so that students can allocate to the activity even though it clashes with another on their timetable. An example of this may be when some lectures don't have compulsory attendance and offer a recorded version that will clash with a tutorial that a student wants to be allocated to. |
Codes | In MyTimetable, class activities will be categorised by the following abbreviations:
|
Constraint based timetable | The benefits of a constraint based timetable allows the University to produce an institution-wide timetable to meet key timetabling objectives:
|
Constraints | In MyTimetable system a constraint is used to manage allocation access to activities. Constraint values include:
|
Course/Subject | The top level of the Teaching Activity Hierarchy in MyTimetable is the Subject. At the ANU, the Subject is referred to as a Course. In MyTimetable a Subject represents a single offering in which a student can enrol. The Subject is for a specific teaching period at a particular campus. |
Enrolment | This refers to the course/class enrolment process supported by the Student Administration System (SAS) and student self-service (ISIS). |
Full | The MyTimetable status update of "Full" means that the class is full. The student can request to be placed on a "waitlist" for this class. |
Jointly Taught Activity | A jointly taught activity is an activity that replaces in the timetable multiple activities from different courses. Such activities are combined because they involve the teaching of the same material by the same staff member, in the same location and time. Typically, some or all activities of co-taught courses can opt to be delivered by jointly taught; the communication with schools also identify jointly taught activities as needed. |
Multi-part | Grouping of particular same stream coded classes that forces student to select not an individual but a group of activities. In MyTimetable multi-part activities have a P-1, P-2 suffix that shows the activity has 2 parts. |
Perfect/Imperfect Join | A perfect join is where all the activities in one course are the same as in another. An Imperfect join is where some of the activities in one course are the same as in another. |
Planned Activity Size | This refers to the number of students that is planned for an activity to have. It is collected in the timetabling data collection period for the Syllabus Plus and can be updated via the Timetabling Office. |
Room Capacity | This refers to the number of people allowed in a room according to ANU Workplace Health & Safety (WH&S) standards. Activity will be timetabled in a room, of which the room capacity will be no less than the planned activity size. |
Waitlist | When an activity is full, a student can request a place in the activity by placing themselves on the waitlist in the MyTimetable system. There is no guarantee that a place will become available. |
