Tutorial Registration

The health, safety and wellbeing of staff and students remains our number one priority. During Term 1, 2021, all lectures will remain online, however, we are planning for some tutorials and practicals to return to campus in a safe way.

When reviewing your classes, you will notice that some classes have a room attached, these classes will take place on campus, other classes will have the campus listed as ‘ONLINE’, and no room indicated, these classes will take place virtually. If you would prefer an on-campus class, you should rank the activity with the room allocated as a higher preference.

Unfortunately, we are unable to guarantee your preference as it will depend on overall class availability.

Note: After your timetable is complete, if you have been allocated to an on-campus class and not able to attend due to an underlying health condition, please contact your First Year Experience Coordinator to discuss the options available to you.

Most units have different types of classes that you will need to attend each week. These may include practicals, seminars and workshops, as well as tutorials. In online Tutorial Registration, the term 'tutorial' refers to all of these classes. For example, you may also need to use online Tutorial Registration to register your attendance in lectures, practicals or workshops.

Tutorials are small groups of about 25 students and are about one or two hours in duration. They provide a forum to discuss and debate the lecture materials and have an emphasis on student-teacher interaction and class participation.

Most tutorials have compulsory attendance requirements. If you miss more than two tutorials in a teaching session, you may be at risk of failing the requirements of that unit. Check the unit outline for each of your units to see their attendance requirements.

Tutorial Registration is completed online. Log into Allocate⁺ (see the relevant link for tutorial registration on the right side of this page or, if on a mobile see below) using your WesternAccount username (your student ID number) and password.

When Tutorial Registration opens, you'll need to log in to Tutorial Registration through Allocate+ (see the relevant link for tutorial registration on the right side of this page or, if on a mobile see below) and select your preferred class times out of the options available.

Most students will need to register for some or all of their enrolled units each session. If you're not sure if you should register for your classes, read the notes at the top of the timetable page for each of your units.

Some postgraduate business units (generally those taught in Quarters) will not need to register for classes using online Tutorial Registration.

If you are enrolled in an Online unit, you may need to register for your tutorial. To find out if you need to register, read the notes in Allocate+ at the top of each of your unit pages.

You can change your tutorial preferences through Tutorial Registration on Allocate⁺ (see the relevant link for tutorial registration on the right side of this page or, if on a mobile see below) as many times as you want up to the advertised deadline. If you have extenuating circumstances that requires you to register for a tutorial that is already full, then you will need to complete the Request to Change Tutorial form and submit it to your School.
