Acessing your timetable...

Enrolled students should be able to view their timetable now. Not enrolled yet? Enrol as soon as possible to access your semester 2 timetables

It is best recommended to view your timetable through iCity (via safari or google chrome), and iBCU app (download here).

Access your timetable by visiting iCity and clicking ‘My timetable’ on the top left. You should then see your lectures, seminars and workshops for Semester 2 and 3.

 

Requesting a change to your timetable

The request form is now open to request a change to your timetable. Before submitting your request, make sure you read all the terms and FAQs from the timetabling team.

Requests will not be accepted for the following:

  • Holidays, house moves, or other planned events outside of the University’s remit.
  • Requests to condense teaching into fewer days for full time students, for any reasons such as work, travel, etc.
  • Personal preference
  • Requests to be in the same group as friends or housemates
  • Time management – to adjust start and end times of teaching, or due to timing of other classes
  • Minor life events, unless the circumstances are having a disproportionate impact
  • Where reasonable adjustments under a Disability Support Summary or occupational health assessment have already been made, unless there is or has been a sudden or unexpected worsening of the condition
  • If a change has already been requested, unless there is a significant change in the circumstances or their impact.

Reasons which may be accepted are:

  • Major changes in your day-to-day life
  • Existing conditions or disabilities that make timetabling inaccessible
  • New or changing circumstances that make timetabling inaccessible (e.g. the development of a major illness)

The form is available for students 4 weeks from the day enrolment starts. After that time change requests will not be accepted.
