Blackboard Student Timetable
The Blackboard Student Timetable provides students with a timetable calendar within Blackboard. Students can view the time, location, and lecturer for each of their classes.
The Blackboard timetable is updated only once a day. If students are unsure if the information is accurate, they should double-check it against their timetable, which is available in SITS (https://my.tcd.ie). Please note that student timetables are subject to regular updates. Further details about student timetables can be obtained from each School or Course Office. If you are in doubt about the accuracy of your student timetable, please check it on SITS (https://my.tcd.ie).

Blackboard Student Timetable - Frequently Asked Questions
How often is the Blackboard student timetable updated?
The timetable is updated daily. This update occurs overnight.
Who can view the timetabled classes?
Every student with timetabled classes and access to Blackboard will be able to view their classes. Students should not use each other's timetables, as they may have different classes.
What if the information in the Blackboard student timetable doesn’t match the SITS timetable?
If the information in your Blackboard timetable doesn’t match the information in your SITS timetable, use the information in the SITS timetable. After the next overnight refresh, the two timetables should be in sync with each other.
Can I use the Blackboard timetable calendar for personal use?
You can use the Blackboard student timetable calendar for personal use; however, this is not recommended, as we cannot guarantee that events you have entered will be retained when the timetable is updated.
Why can I edit and delete timetabled classes?
The Blackboard student timetable uses the Blackboard personal calendar as a base for storing timetabled classes. As a result, students can edit and delete these classes on the timetable. This will only impact the student’s own Blackboard student timetable, and these deleted or edited classes will be restored to their original form after the timetable updates overnight.
Why are there duplicate classes on my Blackboard student timetable?
This has occurred due to an error. If this happens, please contact the IT Service Desk.
