A shifting control apparatus for a human powered vehicle comprises a position sensor and a transmission controller. The position sensor is configured to sense a rotational position of a plurality of sprockets relative to a rotational reference position. The transmission controller is configured to control a derailleur to move a chain guide of the derailleur relative to the plurality of sprockets in a shifting operation. The transmission controller is configured to change at least one of a speed relating to a movement of the chain guide, a start timing relating to the movement of the chain guide, and a distance relating to the movement of the chain guide based on a target shifting-operation position of the plurality of sprockets, and the rotational position sensed as an actual shifting-operation position by the position sensor at an actual timing of the shifting operation.
