Timetabling

Each event or activity within MyTimetable includes important details to help you stay informed. A full guide on understanding and using your timetable is available in the MyTimetable Guide.

Devon students:

For Undergraduates:

• Teaching is scheduled between 08:35 and 18:25 on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Thursdays.
• On Wednesdays, most classes conclude by 12:25.
• On Fridays, teaching ends at 17:25.

For Postgraduates:

• Teaching takes place between 08:35 and 18:25 from Monday to Thursday.
• On Fridays, classes finish at 17:25.
• Classes typically start 25 minutes to the hour and end 25 minutes past the hour, allowing time for travel between sessions.

  On Wednesdays, most classes conclude by 13:00.

Timetables are subject to change and may not display the full range of teaching activities until after Welcome Week. The default view in MyTimetable shows the 'current' week, which may not include any classes yet. Try checking a different week to see if classes are listed. It's also possible that your department hasn't yet assigned you to some or all your classes, especially if you have optional modules still to choose.

If the issue continues, please reach out to your  Hub or Info Point team for assistance. 

The teaching timetable is designed to accommodate the majority of students, but it’s not always possible to eliminate every potential clash. Occasionally, some clashes are unavoidable, particularly for students repeating modules or taking modules in different years for academic or pastoral reasons.

Please also verify that the conflicting classes fall within the same week. The timetable week (and/or term) numbers are listed in the activity details. For further guidance, refer to MyTimetable help.

Our timetabling teams continue to work on resolving clashes at the start and throughout the term. If your clash can be resolved by moving groups and hasn’t been addressed yet, students in Cornwall can contact timetabling@fxplus.ac.uk. Students in Devon can visit the timetable clinics at each Hub or Info Point during the first two weeks of term or contact the team via SID Online. 

Once a change is made to your student record, the updated information is usually reflected in your timetable by the next working day. For a new module, your department must register you for the specific classes within the timetable before they appear.

If your timetable hasn’t been updated after two working days, please contact your  Hub or Info Point team for assistance. Alternatively, if you're within the first two weeks of term and can see the module on MyTimetable but haven’t been assigned to a group, visit your Hub or Info Point. A member of our team will be happy to help you. 

Devon students:

Student personal timetables are usually available in late September. Once the dates are confirmed, we will publish them on our process schedule for the academic year, which you can find under the relevant year tab.

In some cases, your department may have chosen to suppress your personal timetable. The message provided should include more details, but if it doesn’t fully address your question, please reach out to your  Hub or Info Point team for assistance.

General programme and module timetables can be viewed on MyTimetable without enrolling by using the ‘Add timetable’ button and selecting the module or programme you wish to view. However, please note that these timetables show all available options and classes and do not indicate your enrolment in a specific programme or module.

Cornwall students:  

Student personal timetables are published in early September. There may be gaps in your timetable if you haven’t selected all of your optional module choices, it will fully populate once these have been finalised. 

To view the timetable for a room or building:

1. Click the “Location View” button in the top-right menu of MyTimetable.
2. Select ‘Add Timetable’ and choose either Location (for a specific room or area) or Building.
3. Enter the name of the building or location, then select the rooms from the menu. Once you've found what you're looking for, click ‘Add Timetables’.
4. The room or building timetable will now appear in the same format as your personal schedule.

You can navigate through different weeks by using the arrows in the top-right corner of the screen. 

We’ve created a brief guide on how to view the timetable for a module or programme you're not enrolled in — viewing a module I'm not enrolled on.

Please note that viewing a module timetable doesn’t automatically mean you can enrol in the module. Your Hub or Info Point will need to assess the module’s capacity and your programme regulations before any changes can be confirmed. 

This means that the University authentication system is unable to recognise your details. If you’re certain that you've entered the correct username and password, please contact the IT Helpdesk  for further assistance. 

Your student record must indicate that you are a current, registered student (not provisional) enrolled in at least one credit-bearing module delivered at either the Streatham or St Luke’s campus in Exeter, or at Penryn or Truro in Cornwall. For assistance, please contact your  Hub or Info Point team. 

In the first instance, please contact your Hub or Info Point team to explore available options and review the module policies.

To disconnect your timetable from Microsoft Outlook, follow these steps:

1. Open MyTimetable in your web browser.
2. Click the Connect Calendar button.
3. In the menu, select Microsoft Outlook under the University of Exeter section.
4. Click 'Disconnect' in the pop-up that appears. 

In most cases, you’ll need to log a request with Campus Services for room setup.

Note: Out-of-hours requests can be considered but may incur an additional charge. Please avoid attempting to open or rearrange rooms yourself, as this can cause injury and/or damage to the flooring or partitions.

Peter Chalk Centre Halls – Requests for Default Layout Changes 
For opening up PCC Halls, please allow at least half a working day to accommodate porters and AV staff for dismantling and storing walls, furniture, and AV equipment (and the same amount of time for setup afterward). Be sure to factor in this additional time when planning the start and end times of your booking. 

Class Teams is a collaborative platform for module or Academic Personal Tutoring. This is being introduced for the new academic year. You will see the relevant Class Team in your Microsoft Teams Dashboard if the Lead Academic on a module you registered for or the Academic Personal Tutor has chosen to use the platform and activated it for the relevant module/Tutor Group.

If you should be part of a Class Teams but if you do not see it on your Microsoft Teams Dashboard you should:

1. First, check the Hidden teams to ensure that the relevant Class Teams space had not been accidentally marked as hidden. If that is the case, you can select the hidden team, click on the three dotted buttons on the top right corner and select ‘Show’
2. If the relevant Class Teams space is not available within the Hidden Teams space, please get in touch with your Hub or Info Point who should be able to help.

Please note that if you have requested a change to your module allocation, there will be a delay in Class Teams updating.
