Finding your class timetable
CDU class timetables are scheduled for Higher Education and TAFE courses and units delivered during the teaching periods outlined in Important Dates
Higher Education
When: Timetables are released six (6) weeks prior to the start date of each semester.
Where:
- Student Portal: your timetable can be found by clicking on 'Timetable' in the lefthand navigation menu. View the New Student Portal User Guide to learn how to use this new feature or watch the How to view your timetable guide.
- Timetable Viewer Application: if you are not using the student portal, you can access your timetable via the Timetable icon in the current CDU Portal.

TAFE timetables are provided to students directly once enrolment is confirmed.

Understanding your timetable
Class timing
- Northern Territory (on-campus) and online: In-person class activities held at Northern Territory campuses (Casuarina, Palmerston, Danala | ECP, Katherine, Alice Springs and online/external class activities) are scheduled in Australian Central Standard Time (ACST), which is UTC/GMT +09.30.
- Sydney campus: In-person class activities held at locations outside of the Northern Territory, including our Sydney Campus, are scheduled in the local time zone.
Attendance requirements
Class attendance requirements can vary; please review course or unit information via Learnline before classes begin. For further information, it is best to talk to your lecturer directly.
Multiple class activities
Where multiple classes of the same type are scheduled for a course or unit, please refer to the following information:
- If class codes change by number, e.g., Lecture A/01 and Lecture A/02, you only need to attend one of these classes.
- If class codes change by letter, e.g., Lecture A/01 and B/01, you must attend both classes.

Frequently asked questions
My timetable has multiple classes at the same time, what should I do?
CDU aims to provide students a clash-free timetable for core units (CO) within course study plans. If you have a timetable clash, check your course study plan for alternative unit options within the relevant teaching period.
Clash-free timetables for special elective (SE) units are not guaranteed as there are often multiple options.
Where no alternative unit options are available, please contact the CDU Timetabling Team
Why are there no classes scheduled for a HE unit?
If the upcoming HE teaching period begins within six (6) weeks and no class activities are on the timetable for a unit, we advise contacting your faculty support team directly for more information.
Do I need to register for the classes on my timetable?
Unless specifically instructed to by your lecturer, you do not need to register for classes or notify the university of which classes you will attend.
One of my classes is scheduled on a public holiday, will it still go ahead?
Unless otherwise notified, classes scheduled on public holidays will not proceed. Your lecturer may choose to reschedule the class to another time during that week or offer alternative class options.
We advise logging in to Learnline or contacting your lecturer directly for more information.
Why can’t I see my units or class timetable in the Student Portal Timetable?
You can only view the class timetable for a unit after you are enrolled in that unit. To find out how to enrol, please review our Guide to enrolling webpage.
Following successful enrolment, the unit status in your MyStudentInfo will show as Enrolled, it will take some time for the unit information to synchronise with your student portal.
