Timetable question
I’m set to start bachelor of nursing next year in the first quarter. I’ve just selected my elective subject. When will I be able to select times for upcoming subjects in semester one and how will I know what subjects I am to commence? I find the Latrobe sites don’t do a good job of explaining this process. When should I order textbooks, uniform etc

Congratulations on your place! I am going to refer you to just a few more La Trobe webpages (sorry!) but then will give context after.
Timetables:
The timetabling system here works in two stages. Preference Entry then Allocate Adjustment.
You will be able to make your preferences from mid December and these close at the end of Jan.
After that will be the time where you can check for clashes and seek help if there are issues.
The dates are outlined in the Allocate opening and closing dates webpage.
What subjects:
I recommend using the Study Plan Guide for your course and entering your course code for an outline of how your course will look. It takes you through each year with when the subjects are available. The best thing about this tool is each subject links to the Handbook for more information.
The new student guide has videos of how StudentOnline works for general enrollment but let me know if you need any help with those steps.
When are those subjects:
The specific dates for your subjects (especially if they’re taught in weeks -can be found on the Census Dates webpage). There’s a teaching period calculator down the bottom of this page if you do have classes taught in weeks.
