Your timetable

Some teaching events are set up for both online and on campus events and your personal timetable will show both a room number and zoom code link. You are expected to attend the teaching event on campus.

If a teaching event is online only, then only the Zoom code will be shown on your timetable.

Teaching events are scheduled on the hour, although all teaching should end at least ten minutes before the hour, as this allows time for breaks and to travel between teaching events whether they are on campus or are being held online.

If you have back to back on-campus and online teaching events, you can either book study space so you have somewhere to go for your online teaching or you can locate a space on campus in areas such as the library or Silberrad.  

If you can't see all of your teaching events, you can access some of your teaching in your own time, so these won’t show on your timetable. You can check your module outlines on Moodle to find out how they are being delivered.

You can check your departmental timetable to check that all the modules you are enrolled on are showing on your personal timetable. If you have any missing teaching on your timetable and the teaching event is in less than a week, please let your department know.

It can take up to 72 hours for any optional modules to show on your timetable once you’ve confirmed your choice in eNROL.

Module/course changes

If you've changed modules/courses and your timetable is still showing the old modules, it can take up to 72 hours for the new modules to show on your timetable. The system updates at 10pm in the evening.

You can report timetable clashes through your online timetable. At the bottom of your online timetable click the ‘Report a Timetable Problem’ button, which takes you to an online form to report your clash.

We’ll review your timetable and, if we can, make changes to remove the clash. If we are unable to resolve the clash, we’ll forward your query to your academic department to review and give you guidance on how best to proceed. This may mean choosing an alternative module or your department may give you guidance on how to make up any missed teaching events due to the clash.

If you are having problems with your email log in, you can find out more from IT services. If you are still having problems logging on, please forward a screen print of any error messages you can see to sfitchg@essex.ac.uk

Your Department or School will have told you if this affects your programme. If you have face-to-face teaching scheduled but are unable to attend, or you want to know how to access online teaching, please contact your department directly.

Exam timetables are published separately to your teaching timetable. Find out more about exams.

You can check your department timetable to find out if there’s alternative group you can attend.

You can request to change class groups through your online timetable. At the bottom of your online timetable click the ‘Request Class Change’ button, which takes you to an online form. Follow the instructions to make the class change request and confirm the reason why you need to make this change.

Permission to change to an alternative teaching event is agreed by your department or school and they have the right to refuse permission to a change. Accepted reasons for change can be round in the timetabling policy (.pdf) and you may be required to provide evidence of the reason. Change requests must be submitted through the online timetable by the end of week 4 for the autumn term and week 19 for the spring term. Requests submitted after this date will not normally be considered. 

If you find you don't have much time between your on-campus and online teaching events, you can use one of the personal study spaces which you can book to work from.
