Central Timetabling and Room Bookings

Welcome to the Central Timetabling and Room Bookings home page.

Content of these pages includes:
- the staff and work of the Central Timetabling Service;
- the project to move to a centrally co-ordinated teaching timetable;
- the University's pool of centrally-managed teaching and meeting rooms (including their audio-visual and IT facilities) and IT suites, how to book them and how they are maintained.
- There are facilities to request a booking of a pooled room (via Web Room Bookings; see accompanying guidance notes on how to use);
- and to view current room and/or module timetables (via Current Timetables; see accompanying guidance notes on how to use).

Updates on timetabling and room management will be supplied when appropriate below.

** PINNED NOTICES
- Use of teaching rooms: Good Practice
Users of teaching rooms are politely reminded of the University's policies that:
- teaching timetables/room allocations are based on room turnover on the hour. Teaching activities in pooled rooms should start at five minutes past the hour, and must finish by five minutes to the hour at the latest. This allows 10 minutes of change-over time;
- furniture in flat-floor rooms which is moved during a class should be restored to its default layout (defined on this site) at the end of that class;
- Schools must alert the CTS as soon as possible of any pooled room bookings which they find they no longer require.
- Contacting CTS
- Wherever possible, please use the following e-mail addresses rather than the phone: roombooking@dundee.ac.uk - for ad hoc booking enquiries
timetablingproject@dundee.ac.uk - for central timetabling enquiries
- Central Timetabling
- Web pages for the Centralised Timetabling project are now available
