Class start

CLIE language module classes started in the week beginning Monday 07 October 2024 (UCL week 7).

Teaching delivery

  • CLIE language modules are taught face-to-face wherever possible.
  • Workshops are online.
  • Any online sessions will be synchronous.

Schedule

We schedule classes around the availability of the students registered for each module, using information on the UCL Online Timetable. We will start this in August 2024 once the main module registration period for continuing students had finished, subsequently making amendments and creating additional class groups when necessary.

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 in 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.
