Your induction timetable will be available via your What Next? Checklist on e:Vision immediately after you have completed enrolment. This is the timetable you will follow for the first week of your studies and will be an introduction to your course and the university.
You may have a variety of on campus, off campus and online classes in your welcome week:
- On Campus - You will be provided with the campus, building and room number.
- Off Campus - You will be provided with the address and postcode of the session including any important instructions. For example, in some cases you may have a field trip within welcome week.
- Online - You will be provided with a link to the online session along with any specific instructions about how to engage online. The majority of online events will be held through Canvas, our virtual learning environment.
If your induction timetable isn’t available, this will be because your Programme Leader is still working on it. If this is the case, we’ll provide you with guidance on the What Next? Checklist on who to contact.
Top tip: We will email you seven days before your course start date about the publication status of your induction timetable. So it's beneficial to enrol early!
Your academic timetable should become available within your induction week once you have fully completed enrolment. Full enrolment includes the completion of the online enrolment process and for international students will also include your international document check.
You should follow your academic timetable after your induction week.
You will be able to access your timetable through the timetable portal here, using your university ID and password. You will then be able to filter your timetable by weeks, or by selecting certain dates of the classes you wish to see.
If you cannot still cannot see your timetable after this time, please submit an enquiry on Compass
It is very important you enrol before your course start date so we can ensure your account is fully set up and ready to go so that you can access your timetable and start your classes straight away.
Failure to enrol on time will mean you will not get your timetable in time for your classes to start, and you may fall behind on study.
If you have enrolled late, whilst waiting for your timetable to become available, you could always email your Programme Leader to provide you with a provisional timetable during this time. We would also recommend during this time to refer to Flying Start so you can get familiar with joining us.
Your Programme Leader pulls together your induction timetable, so if it's not available, this will just mean your Programme Leader is making some changes or is still pulling together some great sessions for you to engage with.
If you have enrolled and see that your induction timetable is not available on the What Next? Checklist, we'll automatically provide you with your Programme Leaders contact details. If you click on their name on the What Next? Checklist, this will open up an email message to them so you can get in touch.
Registering your attendance is very easy, you simply need to tap into class with your campus card using the readers within the room when you enter.
The reader works by holding your campus card in front of it or by 'tapping' your card against it. A 'thank you' message will show as the reader registers your attendance, you should also hear a 'beep'.
You must swipe into the room allocated on your timetable. If you swipe into another room, this will not match your timetable and you will therefore not receive your attendance mark. If there is a room change, your lecturer must inform the timetabling team and your timetable will then be updated to reflect this.
You must swipe into class within the correct time frame, ten minutes before to ten minutes after the class starts. If you swipe in too early, your swipe will be recorded but not matched to your timetable, you will therefore not receive your mark. Likewise if you swipe in too late, your swipe will be recorded but marked as late.
If you attend class but cannot swipe in at all (e.g you have forgotten your card or have not received it yet) you can always add your attendance manually through our TDS portal. Here you will be able to view your attendance, review any swipe activity as well as submit any absences from class.
If you believe there are issues with your campus card, or if you have not received it yet, please submit an enquiry on Compass.
Please Note: You must never tap in for someone who is not attending the class. Such behaviour may result in disciplinary action under the Student Disciplinary Regulations.
