Timetable Guidance

Timetables for the 2024/2025 academic year are now ready. This page takes you through how to access your personal and/or course timetable dependent on what course you are studying and what level of study you are. Please read our guidance about how to access your personal timetable before heading to the timetable system.

We always minimise the number of changes we have to make to our timetables, but sometimes changes are unavoidable. Please check your timetable regularly to make sure you have the most up-to-date version. Your school will advise on any timetable changes that are made once teaching has started, so you'll need to keep an eye on Blackboard for any last-minute changes that may affect whether you need to come to campus or not.

*If you are a new student:

You need to check your induction schedule so you know what activities to attend during Induction Week (the week before your course starts)
Your personal timetable is generally not released until Induction Week (w/c 26 May 2025 for June intake students) as we need to confirm how many students register for your course first before we can divide you into groups (where applicable). However, you can still access your course timetable - see our guidance for each course below

Teething issues with the new system? See our FAQs.

Quick tips before you start

A course timetable shows you all activity for your course, including sessions you may not need to attend. All course timetables are available online.
A personal timetable shows you everything you need to attend and is personal to you. Personal timetables are provided in different ways - this is based on your course and your level of study. Please note that new student timetables are not available until your induction week (for our upcoming June intake, this is the week commencing 26 May 2025). Read the information for your course in the accordions below.

Some acronyms we use in our information below include FY (foundation year), UG (undergraduate), PG (postgraduate) and DA (degree apprenticeship).

Need further information?

We've put together answers below for some of our most frequently asked questions about timetabling.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between a course timetable and a personal timetable?

A course timetable (sometimes referred to as a programme timetable) shows all the teaching scheduled for everyone on the course, which means you'll see all classes for all groups in each module. There may be multiple groups for the modules on the course timetable. If this is the case, you need to find out what group to attend - this is given to you in your personal timetable. Access course timetables via our timetabling system.

Your personal timetable shows you everything you are to attend as part of your studies, though you may also have some pre-recorded content to view on Blackboard. Please use the accordions above to find your course and information about how to access your personal timetable.

Why can't I access my personal timetable?

You may be a new student. If so, your personal timetable isn't released until your induction, but make sure to check your induction schedule.
Not all students receive a personal timetable. Make sure you read through the guidance for your course in the accordions above to see how your personal timetable is provided.
You may not be registered. Make sure you have completed the registration process for your personal timetable to be created.
You may have registered less than 72 hours ago. It can take up to 72 hours after you have registered for your student record to update to enable you to access your personal timetable.

If none of the above applies to you, contact your School Office to receive support.

Am I looking at the right thing?

Below you'll see some screenshots of what course and personal timetables look like in both desktop and mobile view.

But first, if you're asking this because you're a new student and you're nervous about starting with us - please know that what you're feeling is normal. Your induction will generally include a session that takes you through your timetable, so you'll receive information to help reassure you then.

Course timetable screenshots

Please see screenshots (both desktop and mobile) of a course timetable below. These images won't provide in-depth information to those using screen reading software, so we suggest getting in contact with us (see FAQ below) or asking a friend to help you compare the screenshots below to what you can see on our timetable system to confirm.

Personal timetable screenshots

Please see screenshots (both desktop and mobile) of a personal timetable below. These images won't in-depth information to those using screen reading software, so we suggest getting in contact with us (see FAQ below) or asking a friend to help you compare the screenshots below to what you can see on our timetable system to confirm.

A screenshot of how a personal timetable displays in our online timetabling system on mobile. Personal details have been redacted — Personal timetable for a student studying Animation (first year) in mobile view. Personal details including locations and activity names have been redacted.

Why can't I see any activities on my personal timetable?

If you can't see any activities or sessions on your personal timetable, check that you're looking at a teaching week by changing the date. You can sense-check when teaching weeks are on our term dates page.

That should solve most queries, but there may be very rare occurrences where you can access your personal timetable in the system but no activities have been added. In this case, what you need to do is dependent on when you completed the registration process.

If you registered less than 72 hours (three days) ago: wait until it has been three days since you completed registration then try again. You can access your course timetable in the meantime.
If you registered more than 72 hours (three days) ago: contact your School Office to let them know that your personal timetable isn't showing any activity and that you registered more than three days ago. You can access your course timetable in the meantime.

When do I start my course?

We have many different intakes during the year. The information you receive when you have accepted an offer to study will provide you with the date you start.

For returning students: your first class is in your personal timetable
For new students: you need to attend induction activities first - check your induction schedule for this information

For the 2024/2025 academic year:

Trimester 1 starts on 16 September 2024, with induction and Welcome activities from 9 September 2024

Here you'll find details about the process, deadlines and key information for every type of student, whether you're a home or international student studying on campus, distance learners or students studying at one of our partner institutions.

How do I contact my school?

The Programme Support Administrators in your School Office can help you with academic support questions such as timetabling, assessments, as well as answering your course queries. Visit this webpage to find contact details for your School Office

Who can I contact for more information?

You can contact our Timetabling team in askUS if you experience difficulties with your timetable or need more information about timetabling. Make sure to have your course name, year of study and student ID number ready and, if possible, a screenshot of the issue you're having:

Email: timetable-enquiries@salford.ac.uk
Phone: +44 (0)161 295 0023 (option 3)

How does the University work out timetables?

We schedule upwards of 35,000 activities across three campuses for more than 23,000 students including scheduling 944 teaching staff into 406 teaching spaces in 15 buildings across three campuses. We would love to be able to schedule your activities all on one day to make your schedule more convenient, but the many and complicated factors that affect scheduling mean that it's not possible. We do try our best, though!

Part of our approach to scheduling is moving some activity online. We have received feedback from several students and the Students' Union that online sessions for some classes is the best way to deliver them. We have continued with this approach for some classes because it has the added benefit of freeing space on campus for more on-campus learning. We continually monitor student feedback and look for new and better ways of doing things that benefit the student experience and reflect the world of employment. Any online sessions are indicated on your timetable as 'Online Delivery' and, while these don’t require you to be on campus, they do require you to engage with that session at a specific time.

How do I apply for personal mitigating circumstances for an assessment?

Please visit our Personal Mitigating Circumstances webpage for more information about submitting a PMC request including details of the process, what evidence is needed to support your application and where to find help and advice.
