Any questions you have on accessing and understanding your timetable should be covered below. If you need help viewing your timetable, or something doesn't look right, please email studenthelp@reading.ac.uk. The CMISGo user guide also provides further advice.

What does my timetable show?

Your timetable shows your real-time (live) teaching activities, and a weekly reminder to access learning activities prepared by your lecturers to complete in your own time.

Academic tutor meetings are arranged separately and do not appear in the timetable. These are non-timetabled activities.

For the academic year 2021-22 your timetable displays both face-to-face on campus and online activities.

What you need to attend is different depending on whether you are studying on campus or have been granted permission to study at a distance.

Which timetabled sessions do I need to attend?

I am studying on campus:

Using your Outlook calendar
• Attend all peach coloured calendar appointments. These are taught classes, which will include some sessions on campus and some online.
• Look at the ‘Location’ to see if the session is being delivered in a room on campus or online, and plan your day accordingly.
• You do not need to attend grey coloured appointments as these are reserved for students who have been granted permission to study at a distance.

Using CMISGo and the Student App
• There is no colour coding in CMISGo or the Student App.
• Attend all sessions, except those marked ‘Reserved for students who have been granted permission to study at a distance. Check the Module Roadmap in Blackboard for information about how to access this online session.’ Open the event in your timetable to view this information.
Remember: Check your Module Roadmap on Blackboard every week for learning activities prepared by your lecturers to complete in your own time.

If you have been granted permission to study at a distance:
• Attend all sessions where the location is shown as ONLINE-LIVE.
Remember: Check your Module Roadmap on Blackboard every week for learning activities prepared by your lecturers to complete in your own time.

How do I join online sessions?

Where do I find non-timetabled learning activities?

You can find non-timetabled activities listed in your module on Blackboard in the Module Roadmap. This explains how the module is being taught and what learning activities you need to complete in your own time alongside your timetabled sessions. You may need to engage with these before your timetabled session(s).

Academic Tutor meetings are arranged and booked directly with your tutor. They will tell you how to do this.
