CAS is UWA's Class Allocation System, this is where you create your class timetable for the units in the coming semester.
You can use CAS to prepare and update your timetable for a class schedule that works best for you.
Preference
o You will have approximately 4-6 weeks to enter and edit your preferences. Preferences are not ‘first-come first-served', so there is no need to rush.
o 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.
o Some classes may have lots of times to choose from, some classes may only have one option to choose from.
o You can choose not to select preferences, the system will still allocate you a timetable.

Tips and tricks
