This project is the second year of implementation Shared Academic Timetabling. The project builds on Shared Academic Timetabling Phase 1 Business Case (STU173), Phase 2 Procurement (STU192) and Phase 3 Year 1 Minimum Change Implementation (STU215).  During Year 1 we successfully implemented minimum change solution - including replacing the EBIS room booking system with Scientia's Enterprise Timetabling and Web Room Booking solution.  

STU226 will deliver the new Scientia Student Allocator module and personalised student timetables for the start of Semester 1 2013. The Shared Academic Timetabling project will deliver the following benefits as identified in the  Business Case and White Paper:

  • Student focused, coherent institutional timetabling which enhances student experience
  • Improved information and tools to support the effective use of University resources
  • Improvements to the management of curricula and academic timetables
  • More effective provision and use of learning and teaching space
  • Greater flexibility in managing staff teaching time
  • More effective use of administrative staff resources
  • Supporting family-friendly policies
  • Improved curriculum planning
