Accessing MyTimetable

For a more detailed guide, please read the step-by step guide to using MyTimetable.

MyTimetable is available on your computer/laptop and mobile device. Log in using your University username and password.

MyTimetable defaults to showing your individual timetable, released each Semester. You can also customise the view to show other units and course information.

Using the desktop site

The home screen of the desktop site is called the Timetable view. Your timetable will be updated if activities are moved, added or removed. In addition:

• You can view your timetable on a daily, weekly or monthly basis. You can also view everything as a list. The view is switched by picking the appropriate tab.
• You can return to the current date by pressing ‘Today’.
• You can export your timetable to your calendar as a subscription or download to PDF file (instructions below).
• You can quickly select a particular date by using the calendar at the bottom of the screen.
• Click on an activity to view more detail (e.g. unit code, location, staff member and week pattern).
• You can further customise your timetable by adding other course and unit details.

Using the mobile site

In addition to viewing your individual timetable and other courses and units timetables, you can use the Main Menu to set up your timetable to show on your mobile device.

Customising MyTimetable

Adding other units and courses to your view

Units

Showing only certain units for a course

Your course may have optional units and multiple groups receiving lectures and tutorials at the same time. You can customize a course's timetable and deselect optional units and unit activities, such as seminar groups, not relevant to you.

A warning triangle icon indicates an additional activity. These are usually skills sessions or placement sessions that your Department would like you to attend.

• To deselect optional units you have not signed up for or been allocated to, uncheck the irrelevant units in the menu to the right.
• To deselect unit activities irrelevant to you, press the 3 dot icon to the right of the unit code and name. A new box will appear. Click on ‘Filter activities’. You can now select the unit activities that are only relevant to you.

If you're not sure what group you've been allocated, check with your Academic Department. A unit that has been filtered will show in italics in your list.

In the menu to the right, press the 3 dots icon next to the timetable you want to delete and select ‘Remove’. Please note that timetables might not be removable, and units that are part of a timetable cannot be removed, just deselected.
