Step 4 Timetables, Textbooks and ID Cards

Create your Timetable

Students who are enrolled in internal courses will be required to create their personalised timetable via the My Timetable option in CQUcentral. 

The DRAFT class timetable is published in MyCQU, four weeks prior to the commencement of the forthcoming term. Students and staff, when reviewing the draft timetable, will have a period of two weeks (10 working days) in which to provide comment to the Timetabling Section prior to the publication of the official timetable. 

My Timetable will become available two weeks prior to term commencement with the release of the Official Class Timetable.

For assistance with this  please access the My CQUniversity Timetable instruction sheet.

The instruction sheet includes information on creating and changing your timetable, along with what to do if you have clashing courses.

As directed by the instruction sheet, if you have clashing courses, please contact timetabling through the Timetabling Enquiry eForm.

Where are your classes held?

Once you have created your timetable please visit our CQUniversity Locations webpage. From here you can select your campus and then locate the Map from blue navigation bar. It is important that you become familiar and comfortable with the campus you will be attending; the online map will allow you to explore your campus and even select a specific building or place of interest that you may be looking for.
