Step 3: Find Course Dates and Times
Understanding the academic timetable
The academic timetable lists courses offered in a particular term. You will use it to choose courses, create your schedule, and determine where your courses are being held and who is teaching them.
You can view the timetable by term, subject, and campus. For example, if you are planning to take an English course in the Fall term on the Halifax Campus, you would select the Fall term from the top of the page, then select English from the subject listing menu, and then select Halifax from the campus filter list. This will display all of the English courses being offered in the Fall term on the Halifax campus.
Each course listing starts with a title line including the subject code, number, and title (eg. "ENGL 1000 Introduction to Literature"), followed by the start and end dates of the course and a link to the academic calendar description for the course (if available). If the course is cross-listed with any other subjects, these are listed directly below the title.
The section listing for each course indicates the lecture time first and, if accompanying laboratories and/or tutorials are associated with the course, these are printed below the lecture. Where no times are indicated for laboratory sessions and tutorials, these will usually be announced at the first lecture. No times listed on lectures, laboratories, and/or tutorials could also mean that the course is a distance course. If you see a "D" in the notes column, then the course is offered by distance. The detailed information provided for each section is described below.
