Schedule
MF uses TimeEdit to plan our schedule for lectures. This schedule is automatically imported into Canvas.
It is possible to subscribe to your schedule in your calendar using either TimeEdit or Canvas.
If you're an employee, follow the instructions on our intranet instead.
Important note about subscriptions
The calendar subscriptions take a long time to update if there are any changes, for example if a lecture is cancelled or moved to another room on the same day.
Pay attention to announcements from Canvas in case there are any sudden changes.
