Timetables

Your timetable is published on NOW at the start of each academic year. It is created by the Timetabling Team and takes into account a number of factors which influence: when and where your scheduled event takes place.

Timetable release date for 2020/21

This year we will release timetables at termly intervals. We aim to publish most undergraduate timetables as follows:

Term 1 - 6pm on Monday 21 September 2020 for all undergraduate students*.
Term 2 – 6pm on Monday 7 December 2020 for undergraduate students.
Term 3 – 6pm on Monday 1 March 2021 for undergraduate students.

* Update: Timetables for all new first year undergraduate students have been delayed by a week and will now be released on Monday 21 September, this is to ensure we are offering the best possible student experience, whilst also considering the latest Government advice in response to Covid-19.

All other, non-undergraduate, course timetables are likely to be issued one week prior to the course start date and will be available to view on NOW.

There may be delays to creating your timetable in circumstances such as (but not limited to) being referred in assessments, transferring courses, recently applying through clearing, not obtaining a placement etc.

Timetables are 'live' documents, and we would like to remind you to check your timetable daily, throughout the academic year as they are subject to change.

If you still do not have a timetable for Term 1 by 25 September then do contact us. School contact details are listed at the bottom of this page.

Don't forget, you need to complete your enrolment as a student at NTU to continue accessing your timetable through NOW.

Can we have our timetables sooner?

We know you want to see your timetable as soon as possible, particularly if you have a part-time job or caring responsibilities. We're unable to provide timetables any sooner than this for several reasons:

In light of continuous changes to Government advice, in response to Covid-19, this year we will release Term 1 timetable for the start of 20/21 academic year. By releasing the rest of your timetable at termly intervals, we will be able to respond to Government advice regarding social distancing and redesign learning and teaching throughout the year ensuring optimal student experience and time on campus.
Whilst some other universities may provide timetables earlier than us, we have taken the decision only to release timetables when we can be more certain that any changes will be kept to a minimum.
Once Confirmation and Clearing and the Resit Assessment Period has taken place, the number of students expected to attend NTU can change considerably. This means we have to move classes around to ensure you have the right room and enough facilities to cater for your new class size.

Your timetable is fully personalised and, as far as possible, is consistent throughout the year. Most of you are happy with your timetables, however, if you have any questions we hope that you will find the answer in our frequently asked questions

What should I do if I have a query about my timetable?

If your question hasn't been answered by the information above, take a look at our frequently asked questions.

We do our best to ensure accuracy in all personalised timetables we release to you, however manual processes may mean there are a few occasions where we may not always get it correct. On the rare occasion you may find an inaccuracy in your timetable, such as a clash between sessions, you can contact the Timetabling Team at reg.timetablingsupport@ntu.ac.uk and we will help to resolve that for you.

If you'd like to speak to somebody about anything else you can ASK NTU.
