Timetable / Seminar / Attendance Queries
The admin team manage the timetable, seminar allocations and attendance records so if you have any questions regarding these please get in touch.
Your timetable is available through your student record. Attendance is compulsory and if you cannot attend you should let the module coordinator and the Admin office (psdstaff@aber.ac.uk) know by email.
You should use your Abercard to swipe in to record your attendance at lectures and seminars. Please make sure you record your attendance between the right time frame for it to count (10 minutes either side of the lecture slot). If you do not have your card we are unable to update your attendance afterwards to please try to have your card with you at all sessions.
It may be possible to change your seminar group to another day time but this is dependent on space available as well as module specific requirements such as group work. If you need to swap seminar groups you should try to do this as early in the term as possible.
Details on timetabling are available here:
