Stream Allocation (Alloc8)

Key Dates

Allocation of Streams

All compulsory LLB subjects are divided into small groups or ‘streams’ to accommodate the large number of students enrolled.  Alloc8 is timetabling software that will allocate you a stream on the basis of your enrolment, stream capacity and availability.  All students enrolled in an LLB or LLB combined degree must use the Alloc8 timetabling system.

How does it work?

Alloc8 does not require you to lodge preferences.  The system will provide you with a clash free timetable (unless this is impossible) that you are able to amend if alternatives exist.  You will be able to view your Alloc8 timetable from 15 July 2009.  You may edit your timetable from 16 July 2009.  You can do this from any computer with internet access through the Alloc8 homepage via your Student Portal.  If you are unable to log on to the system in the first instance, log out and try again in about 10 minutes. 

NOTE:  You will need a University of Melbourne PIN to access the Alloc8 system. 

What if I change my subjects after Alloc8 has opened?

All subjects in which you are enrolled will appear on the timetable solved on 15 July 2009. Alloc8 will solve a new timetable each time you amend your subject selection after this date.  Subjects you do not amend will not necessarily be preserved on your timetable in the time originally allocated. 

What do I do if I have problems with my timetable?

If Alloc8 has not solved a timetable for you, contact the Melbourne Law School Student Centre on 03 8344 4475 or in person.  An Alloc8 administrator will be able to assist you.  If you are unable to change streams and have a genuine need to do so, you may seek assistance from an Alloc8 administrator.  Alloc8 administrators are located in Melbourne Law School Student Centre and will be available from 10am to 1pm and 2pm to 4pm, Monday to Friday.

While Alloc8 administrators will assist where they can, it is important to note that work commitments or preference for a particular class will not be considered valid reasons for stream changes.
