Other things to rememberTimetableOnce you have enrolled for your modules online, you need to wait until the following day beforeyou attempt to print out a timetable [from http://portal.leeds.ac.uk]. The reason that there is a delayis that the details of the module enrolments are uploaded on an overnight basisIf your timetable shows a clash, and it is something that the teaching schools can resolve [generallylectures are fixed, so a clash between two lectures is not something that can be sorted], then this willbe done for you. You must ensure that you check the class times before the start of teaching just toensure that they have not been changed.If you have a good reason that you can’t make a seminar or tutorial that has been allocated to you[generally this would be on account of a religious commitment or caring responsibilities] then pleaseemail the School on polisugmodules@leeds.ac.uk.Post and MessagesEmailYou should check your university email on a recommendeddaily basis,as this is the preferred method of communication formany University messages.
