Schedule
No later than two weeks before the start of the course, you must have access to your schedule for the course. You can search for your schedule in the university booking system, TimeEdit.
Schedules in TimeEdit
Most of the departments at the University use the TimeEdit scheduling system. Here, you can search for the schedule yourself, but many courses also link directly to the schedule from the course room in Canvas.
Schedules are available well in advance of the semester start. The autumn semester schedule is published on 15 June, and the spring semester schedule on 15 December. Please note that the schedule may change up until two weeks before the course starts.
Schedules in TimeEdit are accessible to everyone; you don’t need a student account or course registration to access your schedule.
Schedules outside of TimeEdit
A few courses do not have a schedule in TimeEdit. This may occur when the teaching takes place in locations that are not integrated into the University of Gothenburg's or Chalmers' booking system. In such cases, the course administrators should inform you about where to find the course schedule. If you cannot locate your schedule, please contact your department for assistance.
Rules for scheduling
Your schedule must be available at least two weeks before the course starts. Changes are only allowed for unforeseen events and must be communicated promptly.
Courses should not be scheduled more than five days per week. Daytime classes are scheduled from 08:00 to 17:00, and evening classes from 17:00 to 21:00.
Rules on information to students, timetabling, and teaching can be found in:
Academic quarter
The scheduled time for a lecture may not always be the actual starting time, as many of the University's courses has an academic quarter. This tradition means that a lecture scheduled for 9:00 actually begins at 9:15. Always ask your teacher about what applies to your course!
The custom dates back to when students, lacking personal watches, relied on church bells ringing on the hour. They were then given 15 minutes to reach their class, starting the lesson at a quarter past.
