Timetables

Find your class timetable, check when it will be available, get updates about changes, and find out who to contact if you need help.

On this page:

Before checking your timetable, make sure you have completed online registration. It can take up to three working days for your timetable to appear after registration.  Please note that schools’ programmes may make their timetables available at different dates.

Where can I find my timetable? 

You can view your timetable in the Timetable portal.

Your timetable shows:

  • Dates and times of your teaching sessions
  • Room locations or whether sessions are online
  • Activity types such as lectures, seminars, tutorials, labs or studio sessions

If a session does not show a room, it will normally take place online.

Follow our simple guide to add your timetable to your personal calendar

Visit Timetable FAQs for more information. 

When your timetable will be available? 

New students: Your timetable will be available after you complete the first stage of online registration subject to the following conditions:

  • It can take up to three working days after registration for your full timetable to appear.
  • Different School’s may make their programme timetables available to students closer to the teaching date (i.e. to create specific teaching groups).  To check see school programme timetable availability dates (bottom of this page).

Your timetable will continue to be updated before your course starts as you:

  • complete registration
  • select optional modules (if applicable)

Your timetable is provisional and may change until the start of term.

To access your timetable as soon as possible

Make sure you:

  1. Register on your course
  2. Choose your optional modules
    • Updates may take up to three working days
  3. Check your timetable regularly before your course starts

When it may take longer

You may see delays if:

  • You are re-taking a module and updates depend on School or Board decisions
  • Your School allocates tutorials, seminars or practicals after face-to-face registration. See school programme timetable availability dates at the bottom of this page.

What you can expect to see on your timetable

Your timetable shows:

  • dates and times of your teaching sessions
