Timetable Adjustment Form
How do I apply for the adjustment form?
The timetable adjustment form can be submitted by all students, who need to make adjustments to their timetable due to medical reasons. You can apply for a Timetable Adjustment at any point throughout your course.
The form is initially sent as part of the offer acceptance process and can be found within your acceptance offer email.
Alternatively, a link to the form can also be found via the DDS website, Careers and Enterprise website, Timetabling Support FAQ’s or the QMUL App via ‘MyGuides’.
There are several questions to complete within the form. Once the form has been submitted an email will be sent to the Timetabling Team for them to make the requested amendments to your timetable, where possible.
If you complete the section related to additional information an email is sent to the Disability and Dyslexia Support Team, where you will be able to arrange an appointment with an advisor, to discuss further assistance.
The Timetabling team will action the adjustments up to the start of term, normally the first week in September. A student can request for a timetable change after this period and up to week 2 or 3 of teaching from the relevant School/ Institution. However, please note this is not a timetable adjustment request.
