Timetabling transformation project A new timetabling system for a better student experience

Solent University is introducing a new timetabling system called TimeEdit. It will replace the current timetabling system and provide a new way for students and staff to view and manage timetable information. 

The change is about the system used to manage and view timetable information. It does not mean your course or teaching is changing because of the timetable system. 

Your timetable will be easy to access via an internet browser. The final access route will be confirmed before launch. Guidance will explain exactly where to go and how to sign in using your University account.  

The planned approach is that students use their University login through Single Sign-On (SSO). Final guidance will confirm the process. 

Yes. TimeEdit provides a responsive web interface designed to work on mobile devices, tablets and desktops. Final guidance will include the recommended access route. 

There is currently no dedicated TimeEdit app, however TimeEdit are responsive to student feedback so this may be a future development.

You can access your timetable through a web browser optimised for mobile devices.

Yes, the current plan is to include a link to your timetable view from the MySolent App. This will help to ensure the timetable information you are viewing is up-to-date. 

Digital systems need to follow the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG). We have shared student feedback about accessibility with TimeEdit and will prioritise this as we continue to design and test the new timetable experience. Student and user testing will help us check how well it works for people with different accessibility needs.

TimeEdit have an accessibility statement: TimeEdit | The Intelligent Academic Operations Platform

TimeEdit can support timetable subscriptions through compatible calendar applications, such as Outlook. We are currently exploring whether this feature will be available at Solent University. Any use of timetable subscriptions will need to meet the University's data governance and privacy requirements before it can be confirmed.

We will share further information and guidance before the new timetable system launches.

Subscribed calendars can receive timetable updates automatically. The timing of updates may depend on the calendar provider, such as Outlook, iCal or Google Calendar. 

TimeEdit can display updated timetable information, and the project is reviewing notifications and change indicators. Final guidance will explain how students will be told about changes. 

The final student view is still being configured based on student feedback, but expected information includes module details, teaching staff, rooms and buildings. 

The current plan is to go-live with the new system in January 2027. We will share the date when this has been confirmed.  We will make guidance available before you need to use the new system. 

The new system is being introduced in January to align with the University’s implementation schedule and allow the benefits to be available sooner. Clear guidance and support will be provided before launch to help students move to the new system with minimal disruption. 

Students will be invited to share feedback after launch of the new timetabling system. Feedback will help improve guidance, support and future enhancements.

During the system configuration, we are working with student partners and the Students’ Union to make sure student requirements are captured.
