Schedule

Classes are scheduled around the availability of the students registered for each module, using information on the UCL Online Timetable, if you have the module selected on Portico then you should see your allocated group(s) in your personal timetable.

Online Timetable

You should see your allocated group(s) for your module in your personal timetable on the UCL Online Timetable, where you can see the class location. We recommend you check the UCL Online Timetable shortly before your class each week in case of any updates.

Modules appear on the UCL Online Timetable the day after you select them in Portico.

After this you are then allocated to a specific CLIE language module class(es). Allocations are done automatically on a daily basis; in cases where the system is unable to meet all criteria then this is done manually, when we take into account your other teaching events.

Class location:

• Face-to-face classes: UCL maps.
• Online classes/workshops: Your tutor will be in touch with you with joining instructions closer to the first class/workshop.
