You can also find your Welcome Week timetable along with a lot of other useful information on your Blackboard Hub (see below). You will be able to access this through MUSE once you have activated your student online account via the Pre-Registration system.
Your Blackboard Hub
The University uses an online portal called Blackboard where we have created a ‘Hub’ for you to access School and University information that you will need to begin and continue your studies in Sheffield. You will be able to access the portal from the University’s homepage when you receive your University log-in as part of your Registration tasks.
Optional Module Choice
Information about modules and your module choices can be found here. Further details about each module can be viewed in the Directory of Modules.
If you are overwhelmed with choice, please don’t worry - You will receive detailed Course Briefings and a chance to meet some of your Module Leaders during Welcome Week. Furthermore, you can add and drop your optional modules up until the end of Teaching Week 2, so you have plenty of time to change your mind!
Course Timetable
We understand that many of you are keen to know when and where you need to be for your lectures and seminars once the teaching year starts. Your online timetable will become available from Monday 9th September - only once you are fully registered on your course.
Please be aware that your online timetable is a ‘live’ application, and therefore locations and modules may not immediately be available while your registration is being processed and the timetable is being finalised.
We will explain all about how your timetable works during Welcome Week, so don’t worry if you are not sure how to find it.
You can access your timetable online via MUSE, the iSheffield app or via Blackboard.
