Timetabling for the REGULAR SESSION

A Timetable Planning Form is included in your School of Agriculture diploma package, the Undergraduate Calendar or can be picked up at the Student Services Office, Room 160, Agriculture Building. Use the Timetable Planning Form to plan your timetable prior to course registration!

A few things to know before you start planning your timetable ...

The regular session is divided into two academic periods called terms.

  • The Fall Term goes from September to December
  • The Winter Term goes from January to April
  • A Fall/Winter Term goes from September to April.

Fall Term or Winter Term classes are 3 credit hour courses. Diploma classes may be 2, 3 or 4 credit hour courses.

Fall/Winter Term classes are 6 credit hour courses, or spanned courses.

Timetable lecture slots

This timetable information refers to the Regular Session. There is no standard SUMMER SESSION timetabling form.

The week is divided into lecture and lab time periods called slots. They are noted on the timetable planning form.

  • Lecture slots on Monday/Wednesday/Friday are 50 minutes long with a 10 minute break between each.

    For example, the blue boxes show a class on Monday/Wednesday/Friday from 8:30 – 9:20.
  • Lecture slots on Tuesday/Thursday are 75 minutes long with a 15 minute break between each.

    The purple boxes show a class on Tuesday/Thursday from 10:00 – 11:15
  • Evening lecture slots are 3 hours long once a week.

    The green at the bottom shows that the class is Wednesday night from 7:00 -10:00.

In general you will be in each class 3 hours a week (not including labs).

You can schedule classes back to back - you will be given enough time to get to your next class.

Timetable Lab Slots

This timetable information refers to the Regular Session. There is no standard SUMMER SESSION timetabling form.

Many classes in the sciences include a lab, which are generally 3 hours long and held once a week. Labs taken in the Diploma program are generally 90 minutes in duration. The Degree 3 hour labs are reflected on the timetable planning form with grey bars (highlighted with yellow in this example).

Note: When you register for a course with a lab, you MUST register for the lab at the same time.

Some labs, such as Mathematics and Computer Science labs, and Language labs are only 50 minutes long.

For example, if you were planning on taking a Plant Science course that has a lab, and the lab was offered Mondays from 8:30 – 11:30, then you would not be able to take any other classes on Monday/Wednesday/Friday mornings.
