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 departments at the University of Gothenburg publish their schedules in TimeEdit. For courses on Chalmers campus, use Chalmers TimeEdit instead.

There is often a link to your schedule in your course room in Canvas. You can also search for your schedule in TimeEdit. To see information about teachers, you need to be logged in.

Schedule search:

Schedules are available well before the semester start. The autumn semester schedule is published on 15 June, and the spring semester schedule on 15 December. Please note that schedules may change up to two weeks before the course starts.

Schedules outside of TimeEdit

A small number of courses don’t have schedules in TimeEdit. This may be because the teaching takes place in premises that are not included in the University of Gothenburg’s or Chalmers’ booking system.

In these cases, the course organisers will tell you where to find the schedule. If you cannot find it, contact the course administration or your teacher.

Academic quarter

Many courses has an academic quarter. This means that classes actually start 15 minutes after the scheduled time. For example, a lecture scheduled for 09:00 will begin at 09:15.

The custom dates back to when students did not have their own watches. Instead, they relied on church bells ringing at the beginning of every hours. Students then had 15 minutes to get to their lesson, which started a quarter past the hour.
