I still can't view the timetable, in fact the interenet can't disply anything because i need to 'verify proxy settings' but i don't know what that means!! Please help Is it just me or can no else get it to work either?
If you're off-campus then you need to VPN first, there's no point in using the proxy server unless you need to go from inside campus to outside it. The VPN takes you inside campus, from there you shouldn't need the web cache. But what timetable thing is this? I've not heard of it...
Yeah, What is all this? Looking like its a way to access the york network if you not in york university to use a computer there? But i don't have a email yet. i have a login name.
Basically to get your timetable you go to: http://sws.york.ac.uk/Reporting/Individual, change option 1 to "students", leave option 2 on Name, and enter your full name with surname first in option 3 (e.g., SMITH JOHN or something). On the following page, you probably want to search for weeks 1-10 (option 2) and leave everything else as default.
what is this timetable you all talk of? I'm very confused. The page laser posted above doesn't work??
It only works when you're connected via the VPN or the proxy (instructions for which are above), or you're on the York network. The timetable is the one for all your lectures and stuff
Depends on your course. Anything that needs a room booking (which is basically all your lectures, seminars, etc), should appear on the central timetabling server, if you have lots of tutorials or whatever, then they probably won't appear on there
