How to plan your JCU timetable
Enter your classes from eStudent into Smoov - just add your subject codes and class times.
- Open eStudent and note the class times for each of your subjects.
- Add each subject in Smoov with its lecture, tutorial and lab times.
- Block out your shifts and hard nos, then pick what matters: no 8ams, fewer days on campus, a proper lunch break.
- Smoov checks every combination and shows you the best few options, with what each one costs you.
- Pick one and register those classes in eStudent.

Timetable tips for JCU students
- JCU has two registration modes: self-registration (most students pick their own class times in eStudent) and managed registration (Medicine, Dentistry, Vet Science - classes are allocated for you).
- Use JCU's My Timetable planning tool before registration opens - it shows all available class slots so you can compare combinations and identify conflicts beforehand.
- If a class is full, use the waitlist function in eStudent - JCU formally supports waitlisting and will notify you if a spot opens.
