Student timetable for 2023-2024

Your timetable for the 2023-2024 academic year is available on your StudyNet homepage.

New or returning Semester B student?

Over the coming weeks up until your course starts, we will continue to update your timetable with more personalised information and details of your classes as you register and enrol on your modules.

We understand you want to see your timetable as soon as possible so please make sure you:

• Register on your course
• Enrol on your modules so you are allocated to activities. You can check your registration status and which modules you are enrolled onto in your Student Record.   
• Check your timetable regularly in the run up to the start of your course.

It can take approximately 48 hours (excluding weekends) for your timetable to update once you have enrolled onto your modules and been allocated to activities. This may be longer if we are waiting on information from schools or final board decisions for returning students.

Need help? 

• If there is an issue with either your registration or module enrolment please email the Ask Herts team.
• If you can’t see your timetabled sessions 48 hours (excluding weekends) after enrolling on your modules or if you get an error message when viewing your timetable, please contact the Helpdesk on 01707 284678 or helpdesk@herts.ac.uk

Please see our frequently asked questions (FAQs) for further help and information.

What you can expect to see on your timetable

Your timetable contains information about when and where the taught sessions for your module are taking place and includes activities such as lectures, seminars, and tutorials as well as lab or studio sessions if you are on a practical programme.

Any online sessions timetabled for your programme will be marked as ‘online’ on your timetable and will not have a room number and location.

Instructions on how to link your timetable with your personal calendar on your computer or mobile device are available here.

Please see our Frequently asked questions (FAQs) for further help and information.

Will my timetable change?

Your timetable is subject to change throughout the year, but we try to keep timetable changes to a minimum. Most changes usually happen in the first few weeks at the start of term so please check your timetable regularly.  

• We aim to make any changes as early as possible to allow you time to make any necessary arrangements, but this is not always possible.  
• There may be occasions where we have to re-arrange a class at short notice, for example, if a staff member is unwell or if there’s an issue with the room - in these cases, you’ll get an email or a text message to let you know.  
• If a change to your timetable happens at short notice (usually within 48 hours) we will send a notification to your mobile. For details see timetable change notification service.

There are things missing from my timetable.  What should I do?

When viewing your timetable on StudyNet please make sure you are looking at the correct date as some courses may not start until later in the semester.  You can check course start dates in your Student Record.

For new students, your full timetable will be available once you have completed registration.  You can check your registration status in your Student Record.

If there is an issue with either your registration or module enrolments, please contact the Ask Herts Hubs.

Once registered and enrolled on your modules you will be allocated to activities and your timetable should be updated within 48 hours. If after this time your timetable is still not showing the modules you are registered on correctly, please contact the Helpdesk on 01707 284678 or helpdesk@herts.ac.uk.

My timetable is not showing my registered modules correctly.  What should I do?

Please note that it will take approximately 48 hours (excluding weekends) from registering and enrolling on your modules to allocation to timetabled activities. Additionally, removal of any timetabled activities for a module you are no longer enrolled on will take place overnight so should disappear from your timetable the next day. If after this time your timetable is still not showing the modules you are registered on correctly, please contact the Helpdesk on 01707 284678 or helpdesk@herts.ac.uk 

Why am I still seeing the 2022-2023 timetable on StudyNet?

Make sure you are accessing the new version of  StudyNet at studynet.herts.ac.uk

If you are using the following StudyNet links, which you may have saved in your browser, you will be viewing 'old' StudyNet which will not show you the 2023-2024 timetable.

If I can’t see my timetable, how do I find out where I go on my first day?

For new students, your timetable for your first week can be found in your Welcome letter where you will be able to see your programme’s start date, time, and location of your first session at Herts and the rest of the week.

You may also find this information on your Canvas programme site. Check your joining instructions letter to find out how to access the Programme site.

How do I find my classroom?

You can find a map of campus by downloading the Herts Mobile app.

Where can I find accessibility information about classrooms on campus?

You can find accurate, up-to-date venue access information about classrooms on campus using the University of Hertfordshire Accessibility Guide on the AccessAble website and the AccessAble app (available on iOS and Android) to help you easily and safely plan your journey around campus and remove the uncertainty of travelling to new places.  

How are online sessions shown on my timetable?

Your online sessions will be marked as ‘online’ on your timetable and will not have a room number and location.   To access your online session, go to the relevant Canvas module and click on the units link on the left-hand menu of the module site to find session details including a link to join online. 

How much time do I have to travel between classes on different campuses?

If you have classes scheduled on different campuses we have automatically scheduled a minimum gap of 30 minutes between those classes to allow you time to travel in between. 

What do I do if my tutorial group is incorrect or not visible?

Tutorial and workshop groups within modules are still being finalised for 2023-24 and will be confirmed shortly.  Please check your timetable daily for updates.

I get the following message when I click on the Timetable link: ‘Sorry, we’re unable to find a timetable assigned to your record.’  What should I do?

Your 2023-24 student record has not been updated yet. 
Please check again after you have completed registration. 

Please note, if you are a student who is repeating, transferring or you have optional modules to select, the process may take longer. If you still see the same message, please contact the Ask Herts Hubs.

Can I make changes to my timetable?

Your timetable has been designed to take into consideration the academic requirements of your programme and provide you with a productive time on campus.

We do however understand students have varying personal needs. If you have a specific problem with your timetable there may be circumstances in which amendments could be considered. Please be aware that changes between groups will only be possible where there is capacity.

If you wish to discuss your requirements, please contact the appropriate member of staff within your School.
