Hello to those enrolled in Media 2, Media 3, Media 4, or Media 5 for the upcoming flex semester,

As many of you are eager to allocate your flex studio, we have opened timetable allocations early. You can now login to myTimetable and select your preferred studio for the flex semester.

For all information relating to the Media Studios flex semester, please see our previous post – 2025 Flex Studio Descriptions and Information.

And for those completing their first studio in the flex semester we encourage you to attend the Media Studios Expo, S2 2025 in week 13. Details here.

Best,

Media Studios Coordinators

Hi Media 2, Media 3, Media 4 and Media 5 students enrolled in the Media studios flex semester,

We are pleased to announce the details of the 2025 Flex Term Media Studio Courses. 

PLEASE SCROLL DOWN AND READ ALL INFORMATION INCLUDING THE BOOKLET WHICH PROVIDES DESCRIPTIONS OF STUDIOS ON OFFER IN THE FLEX SEMESTER.

2025 FLEX DETAILS:

• Each studio course gains 24 points credit and is run intensively over six weeks (ie. double the usual weekly contact hours) in mixed course groups.
• The term dates for 2025 are Monday 27 October – Wednesday 10 December (final assessment due)

SHOULD I ENROL IN A FLEX TERM MEDIA COURSE?

You must enrol in one for these courses if you:

• started the BP221ACC 2.5 year accelerated program in July 2025 and don’t have a course credit for COMM2625 Media 2 OR
• failed a Media studio course and need to repeat it.

Those of you who don’t fit into these categories might like to consider doing a studio to lighten your study load in a future semester.

HOW DO I ENROL?

Log-in to Enrolment Online and then click ‘enrol’:

• Click on UGRD Flexible Term 2025 – ‘continue’ icon
• Click ‘Year One’ and then click the ‘add’ button to one of the course (see above) OR
• Add the course by entering the Class No (see above) into the ‘Class Search’ tab.

You can only enrol into one Media Studio course. Refer to your customised enrolment map before enrolling to ensure you select the correct course. If you are unsure about which course to enrol into, check with your Academic Advisor. If you do not know who this is, raise a ‘course and program advice’ query in the RMIT Connect Student Portal.

WHAT STUDIOS ARE ON OFFER? HOW DO I SELECT MY PREFERENCE AND TIMETABLE?

There are 4 x studios on offer for the flex semester which are described here: Media-Studio-Descriptions-flex-25. Please read through this booklet in its entirety.

The process for allocating studios in the flex semester is different from regular semesters, so please read the following carefully:

1. Please read the descriptions in the Media Studios description book and times for each studio to decide on which studio you’re a) interested in and b) can attend consistently for 10 hours every week for 6-weeks
2. For flex you only select one studio providing there are spaces available
3. Timetable allocation opens for studios on Thursday 16 October at 9am via myTimetable on a first-come-first-served basis, so please have a backup in case your chosen studio is completely allocated. Remember every studio offers exciting and sometimes unexpected opportunities to develop your media skills conceptually and technically. We encourage an attitude of bringing yourself to whichever studio you’re allocated to make the most of the experience.

Media Studios Flex timetable:

In an intensive flex semester, you have 10 hours of classes per week, where the flex studios are timetabled at these times:

Hi Media 2 and Media 4 s2 2025 students,

Monday June 30 marks the day of receiving your allocated studio for semester 2, 2025 – exciting! We are therefore reaching out to provide some important information regarding studio allocation adjustments. Please read through the following carefully!

Allocation adjustment info

• You can adjust your allocated studio only via myTimetable from 10am, Monday 30 June to 5pm Friday 25 July (end of week 1). Please be aware studio adjustments close earlier than other courses to minimise disruption to your studio experience. With five hours per-week you have already missed enough!
• Instructions on reviewing and adjusting your timetable can be found HERE under Step 3: Review and adjust your timetable. Allocation adjustment happens on a first-in, first-served basis, so it’s a good idea to log in early.
• If the studio you would like to switch into is full, you can join the waitlist via clicking the heart next to this studio in myTimetable. See How do I request a place in a full class? in Class timetables FAQ
• There is no guarantee you will be able to switch studios so please attend the studio you are allocated from the beginning of week 1. A reminder that every studio offers exciting and sometimes unexpected opportunities to develop your media skills conceptually and technically. We encourage an attitude of bringing yourself to whichever studio you’re allocated to make the most of the experience.
• Studio adjustments can only be made via myTimetable, where for equity purposes, with nearly 400 students doing a studio, the Media Studio Coordinators cannot perform switches on a case-by-case basis.

Further studio information

• Studio descriptions and info for sem 2, 2025 can be found HERE
• If you are new to studios, you will need a Mediafactory blog, which you can sign up for via this form.
• If you have any questions relating to your specific studio, contact your studio leader. If you have any general Media Studio-specific questions or issues, please use this form and we will reply to your student email within 48 hours. Please note that neither studio leaders or coordinators can perform switches.

Best for now,
Hannah & Alan
Media Studio Coordinators

With the preference entry period now open in myTimetable, we’d like to offer you the chance to meet some of the studio leaders for Semester 2, 2025. To help guide your preferences, please watch the video below.

We are pleased to announce the Media 2 and Media 4 studios for semester 2, 2024. Please read the following information completely and carefully, including the Studio Descriptions booklet, BEFORE preferencing studios in myTimetable.

1. Studio descriptions are provided in this STUDIO-DESCRIPTIONS-BOOKLET-S2-2024_v3. Please read each description carefully
2. Studios allocations are sorted by a preferencing system run through myTimetable, where the preferencing period opens at 10am Tuesday 11 June and closes 5pm Sunday 23 June 2024. During this period we advise you to nominate (at least) your top three preferences, but encourage you to nominate further preferences. Remember that preferencing does not operate on a first in first served basis and preferencing is not “selecting” – there is no guarantee that you will be given your top preference.
3. Studio times are listed below and in myTimetable. Check the studio times against your other classes and commitments, where you need to be able to attend both pracs every week – do NOT preference a studio you cannot attend
4. Other timetabling information can be found here
