FAQ

The information on Sussex Direct about my timetable conflicts with what the tutor tells me - which is correct and why is there a difference?

The tutor is likely to be correct as they have the detailed knowledge of your timetable - however if you are in doubt you should check with your departmental office as they maintain the timetable data for Sussex Direct and it may help other students to get errors corrected.

Does the University plan to schedule teaching on Wednesday afternoon?

These are the full details of the policy on timetabling agreed between the University and the Students' Union. In general terms the University tries not to schedule Undergraduate teaching on Wednesday afternoon but there are exceptions such as Film showings.

I have a Seminar scheduled on a Wednesday after 1pm, but I play hockey for the University and we have matches on Wednesday afternoons, what can I do about it?

You should speak to your Department office to see if there is an alternative group which is not taught on a Wednesday afternoon which you can switch to.

I have a Lecture scheduled on a Wednesday after 1pm, but I play ultimate frisbee for the University and we have matches on Wednesday afternoons, what can I do about it?

We try to avoid scheduling lectures from noon on Wednesdays (although it is not possible to guarantee) and we do NOT schedule undergraduate lectures after 1pm on Wednesday. If you appear to have an Undergraduate lecture scheduled after 1pm on Wednesday you should contact your Department office - they will advise you. If you are still unhappy with the outcome then contact the Timetabling office in Sussex House and inform the USSU Activities Officer, activities@ussu.sussex.ac.uk.

I have a Film showing scheduled on a Wednesday after 1pm, but I play volleyball for the University and we have matches on Wednesday afternoons, what can I do about it?

If you are unable to attend a film showing you should contact your Department office, a DVD or Video of the Film will usually be available to borrow and Audio Visual facilities are available in the library to view DVD's and Videos.

I have a Laboratory session scheduled on a Wednesday after 1pm, but I play squash for the University and we have matches on Wednesday afternoons, what can I do about it?

The lab will only have been scheduled here if there was no alternative time when the whole group were available. You should talk to your departmental office or speak to your course convenor to see if it is possible to do the lab at an alternative time.
