Tutorial registration

Tutorial Registration opens from 14 February

The opening times for your units are now in Platform Web

You will need to check each of your unit’s opening times in Platform Web carefully as two units in the same School may have different opening times due to their unit level.

Make sure you complete your unit enrolment in MySR at least two hours before Tutorial Registration opens as it takes approximately two hours for Platform Web to be updated with new information.

Tutorial Registration lab support is available, see the Tutorial Registration help page for more information

What is Tutorial Registration

Tutorial Registration is how you put together your timetable at UWS. For each unit you are studying, we will give you a list of class times that are available and you can register into the one you want to attend using Platform Web. As there are only limited places in each class Tutorial Registration works on a first in, first served basis.

You'll need to make sure you are enrolled in all of your units in MySR or you won't be able to register for your tutorials.

What is a tutorial?

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.
