A timetable type refers to the timetable you want to view, such as a Programme of Study, Module, Location, or Department.

2. How do I search for a timetable?

Please refer to the Open Timetables User Guide for step-by-step instructions on how to search for and view a timetable.

3. Why can't I see any timetable information?

By default, the timetable displays the current week. If there are no activities scheduled during the current week, select a different week or date to view timetable information. For example, if viewing a timetable outside of term time, you may need to select a week during the semester.

If specific timetable information is missing, such as a module or tutorial, please contact your School or Department in the first instance.

To increase the available viewing space, you can:

• Hide the main menu by selecting the three-line menu icon beside the UCC logo in the top-left corner.

If you have a lot of activities displayed, you can use Lanes View to make your timetable easier to navigate. The scroll bar at the bottom of the screen allows you to move across the timetable and view activities more clearly. (Lanes View can be used when viewing a selected day or week but is not available when viewing multiple weeks.)

2. How do I view a full semester timetable?

You can view a timetable for a full semester by first selecting multiple weeks and then choosing a semester.

• For Semester 1: select all weeks.
• Semester 2 (2026/27): Select Weeks 24–33 and 36–37 only. (Weeks 34–35 are not teaching weeks due to the Easter break.)

3. How do I download timetable information?

Selecting Excel will download a spreadsheet containing the booking details of the selected activities. The file can be opened using Microsoft Excel.

4. What are Legends?

Legends show the different activity types within a timetable, such as lectures, tutorials, and labs. You can use Legends to filter the timetable and display only specific activity types.
