Get ready to create your T1 timetable
Keen to kick off your study this year? It’s nearly time to create your Trimester 1 (T1) timetable in STAR (Student Timetable Allocation and Registration), so read on for all you need to know!
Online and on-campus learning for T1
For T1, our COVID-Normal teaching and learning model will combine the benefits of online and on‑campus modes where possible:
- Most classes (lectures) will remain online.
- We’ll deliver as many practical experiences on campus as possible, with a COVIDSafe plan in place and subject to government and University guidelines.
- Some practicals and other activities will be available when STAR opens, while others may be added as physical distancing requirements change. If other learning experiences are added, additional timetabling information will be provided to you.
Who needs to create a T1 timetable
- If you’re normally an on-campus student – you’ll still need to create a STAR student timetable.
- For on-campus students based outside Australia – if an online option is not available for your activity, please contact your Unit Chair. You can find Unit Chair information in the 2021 University Handbook.
- If you’re studying any online units (shown in StudentConnect delivery mode as Cloud Online) – you do not have to create a timetable in STAR for these units. Your unit information will be available on your unit site on CloudDeakin one week before the start of trimester.
When to create your T1 timetable
- You can enter your preferences in STAR from 10am, Monday 15 February. To help you plan your study timetable, the provisional timetable will be available from Monday 8 February. This shows when classes, seminars and other learning experiences are scheduled.
- You have nine days to consider your options and enter your preferences. Preference entry closes at 10am, Wednesday 24 February.
- It doesn’t matter when you enter your preferences during these nine days – the activities will be allocated for everyone after the preference entry period ends.
How to enter your preferences
Check out the STAR webpage and instructional video for some easy-to-follow directions. Note that COVID-19 restrictions mean that your T1 student timetable will look slightly different:
- Where building and room information is included in the location column, the activity is on campus.
- Where there is a ‘–’ or ‘online’ included in the location column, the activity is online.
- Some activities have a blended delivery, combining both on-campus and online learning.
- Some activities are offered mostly on-campus, with only a few options exclusively online. In these cases, the online activity is for on-campus students located outside Australia and for students who are unable to attend campus. If you’re able to come to campus, you should select an on‑campus option for that activity.
