Who Does What?

Team generally is responsible for:

Constructing, scheduling and publishing accurate timetables for students and staff, and works with timetable contacts in Schools - manages the Univ timetabling system, CMIS database and it's system user guides. Provides training for timetablers and users

Team ensures effective utilisation of teaching spaces and mediates/resolves timetable clashes. Liaise with Estates on ensuring spaces well maintained, fit for purpose and are being audited

General queries anyone can respond to:

• “How many days per week will I need to be on campus?”
• “Can I have the timetable for the previous/current year so I know what to expect?”

 Timetables change every year, so it’s important to stress that the applicant’s actual schedule will be different from the current one. You can advise, however, that students in full-time courses should be prepared to be available on weekdays between 9am and 5pm. This is because their presence can be required on campus from 2 to 4 days per week and they are expected to carry out some hours of independent study off-campus as well. Those on part-time courses are typically required to be on campus one day per week and may have evening sessions.

That being said, if you want you can pull up the timetable for any current student of the course in question and screenshot a week (or a few) to send to the applicant as an example – just make sure to stress that theirs will look different.

• “When will I be able to see my timetable for the coming semester?”

Timetables are only released to students just before the academic year begins (August/September), so students shouldn't really expect to see them prior to that. Please remember that only those with EFE (Fully Enrolled) status for the year in question will be able to access their new timetables.
