Course scheduling (for course coordinators)

Once it is decided that a course is to be given a given semester, the course coordinator has two tasks:

  • register course schedule data the semester before the course is given, and
  • control the tentative timetable for the course once a draft is available.

See https://ntnu-timeplanprosessen.webflow.io/ for a presentation of the entire course scheduling process at NTNU and innsida for the academic calendar.

There is a specific academic calendar for siv.ing. programmes 2024-25 (.pdf).

Registering course schedule data

Log in to TP:Basic data

Course schedule data is information about what kind of teaching a course will have, the duration of each activity, who is expected to attend the activities (students and staff), and possibly demands and wishes for certain equipment and/or room specifications.

  • Deadline:
    • 3 workdays before the deadline for the Department, which is March 1st and September 1st for courses to be given in the autumn and in the spring, respectively.

Log in to TP:Course

The course coordinator should check that:

  • all the activities that should be scheduled are indeed scheduled, that
  • all the activities are planned according to what you registered in TP: Basic data, that
  • for each activity, the type of activity and staff is correct and, if any, that the allocated room is suitable (for instance if the course is to be streamed and/or recorded), that
  • the activities are both scheduled the weeks they will occur and not scheduled the weeks they will not occur, and finally
  • if you are teaching in more than one courses, that teaching times are not colliding.

Problems/errors should be reported to the administration, see Contact below.

Information about a specific room, incl. the available equipment, is available in TP.

  • Deadline:
    • June and November for courses to be given in the autumn and in the spring, respectively. The actual dates depend on the deadlines set by the central administration.
  • System:
    • TP:Course (select the relevant semester in the drop-down menu on the right and search for the course by course code.) and TP:staff (select the relevant semester in the drop-down menu on the right.)
