This is when you choose your class times and create your timetable.
You can find your class registration time on myUNSW
Below on this page, you can find step-by-step guides on how register for classes.
Separate guides are available for UNSW Canberra, Research and Postgrad Online students.
What is Class Registration?
Class Registration is the final step in enrolling in the courses (subjects) that you will be taking at UNSW for each term. Registration opens 8 weeks before each term start date.
Before each term, you will choose your class times. This will confirm your enrolment and create your timetable.
You can change your courses and your class times online, up to the enrolment deadline for each term.
You must Class Register (choose your class times) for your courses before the deadline each term, or your courses will be dropped.
As part of the universities response to COVID-19, some courses will be running fully online while others will have a selection of face-to-face and online classes available. Online class locations have been updated to online, however they still have set days and times to create your timetable.
Many of those classes, such as lectures, can be accessed online at any time. Some classes, such as tutorials, may require online attendance at their set time.
You must still choose class times for your courses to confirm your enrolment.
To help with creating your timetable in the online learning environment, UNSW has pre-approved many more class clashes. Permitted clashes between class times will appear in orange on your timetable.
When can I Class Register?
You will be given a day and time for choosing your class times and finalising your enrolment. This is known as a Class Registration time and is specific to you.
Instructions to access your Class Registration enrolment time will be emailed to you, so make sure you monitor your UNSW student email.
You can also watch our instructional video on finding your Class Registration time.
You can find your Class Registration time directly on myUNSW under Enrolment Appointment.

What can I do if my class times clash?

If there are no other class times available, you can apply for Timetable Clash Approval to see if the clash can be allowed.
Do I have to choose classes for an online course?
Yes, if your chosen course is being taught online, entirely or in parts, you still need to choose a class time to finalise your enrolment. Follow the normal steps for choosing class times and make sure you choose the WEB class that should be available.
Why do I get an error when I click Submit Enrolment Request?
There are several reasons why you might get an error when choosing class times.
If you receive any error messages when choosing your class times, check that you have:
