Timetables

All students will need to view their class timetable to find out when classes are.

This can be done 2 ways:

    1. myTimetable web app – if you are fully registered and have been for a minimum of 48hrs you will be able to see your class information through the myTimetable app. The information displayed through the app is specific to the individual’s registration so they will only see class information that is relevant to them.

      You can sync this timetable to the calendar app on your smart device by selecting the subscribe button a the top right-hand corner of the page.
       
    2. Timetable Website The timetable website is open to all students and shows the timetables for all courses. The main difference between this website compared to the myTimetable App is that students are required to use a filter to find the correct timetable and for courses that have different tutorial groups these timetables will show all tutorial events on the timetable. Students would need to know which tutorial group they are in, in order to know which events to attend.

Here’s a guide on How to view your Course Timetable

For students who have online learning events scheduled in their timetable, you will find the class link in your teams calendar.
