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 course schedules in TimeEdit. For courses on Chalmers campus, use Chalmers TimeEdit instead.
Schedules are available in TimeEdit 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.
Find your schedule in TimeEdit
You can look up your schedule with or without a student account. However, you need to log in to view the names of the teachers. Often, there is also a link to your schedule in your course room in Canvas.
How to do it:
- Go to https://cloud.timeedit.net/gu/web/?en=t.
- With a student account: Click For students and log in.
- Without a student account: Click Student schedule.
Schedules outside of TimeEdit
A few courses don’t have a schedule in TimeEdit. This usually happens if the classes take place in locations that aren’t 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.
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
Many courses had 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, 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.
