CAS is UWA's Class Allocation System, this is where you:

  1. Select your preferred class times for your tutorials, laboratories, lectures, seminars and workshops (Entering preferences) 
  2. Once the your timetable is published and you've been allocated classed, you can adjust your allocations (switching class times)

Entering Preferences

  • Nominate what day and time you prefer for each class in order of priority (1 = your first preference; 2 = your second preference; etc.) for each unit.
  • Some classes may have lots of times to choose from, some classes may only have one option to choose from. 
  • You will have approximately 4-6 weeks to enter and edit your preferences.
  • You can choose note to select preferences, they system will still allocate you a timetable.

Adjusting your Allocations

  • Approximately 3-4 weeks before semester starts you will be allocated your classes and be able to view your timetable.
  • You're allocated classes based on the preferences you selected.
  • You can adjust your timetable by changing class times for others available, or selecting to go on a waitlist.

CAS Tips

  • Use studentConnect to add units to your enrolment. It may take up to 1 hour after enrolment for a unit to appear in CAS.
  • CAS may not display correctly in older browsers (like Internet Explorer). We recommend that you update to a more recent version if you are having difficulty, or use a computer in one of our libraries.
