NU Timetable: Simplifying Timetable Management for FAST University Students and Faculty

Managing a university timetable, especially when it’s stored in a shared Google Sheet, can be a hassle for students and faculty. At FAST University (Islamabad Campus), many students, faculty, and MS/Bachelor’s candidates struggle with accessing their class schedules efficiently. That’s where the NU Timetable app comes in a beautiful, user-friendly solution designed to streamline the entire process and offer powerful features, both online and offline.

Why NU Timetable?

The FAST University timetable is typically maintained in Google Sheets, which makes it hard to navigate. Whether you’re looking for your classes or trying to figure out when a room is free, manually sifting through the data can be time-consuming. The NU Timetable app is designed specifically for FAST University Computing Batch students (BS/MS) and faculty to make viewing and managing timetables much easier.

Here’s a look at how the NU Timetable app can revolutionize your daily routine:

Key Features of NU Timetable

1. Add and Manage Your Courses and Labs

At the start, users can add their respective courses and labs to the app. This information is saved locally in device cache so it doesn’t have to be added repeatedly. The intuitive interface ensures users can easily update or add new courses as needed, using a searchable spinner to select from the course list.

2. Timetable Display: A Beautiful and Informative Experience

Once courses are added, users can view their full timetable with a visually appealing layout. The app provides all the key details:

• Course name

• Class time

• Room number

  
  

With just a glance, you’ll know your entire day’s schedule. Additionally, it will also tell users that a class has been canceled or rescheduled, ensuring you’re always up to date.

3. Offline Access to Your Timetable

One of the standout features of NU Timetable is its ability to work offline. Even if you don’t have access to the internet or network is slow, the app will display your timetable using data stored in the Room database. This means you can always access your schedule anytime, anywhere, without needing to sync it every time you open the app. Perfect for situations where network connectivity is unreliable.

4. Check for Free Slots

Looking for a free time slot to hold a group study session or a lab? NU Timetable has you covered. With the free slot search feature, users can specify a time range (like 1:00–2:30 PM) to see if any classrooms or labs are available. This feature helps both students and teachers find gaps in their busy schedules. This will provide:

• Class time

• Room number

  
  

5. Director’s Vision

NU Timetable includes a section dedicated to the Director of FAST University’s vision, allowing you to easily access the Director’s details and read more about their plans and objectives for the university.

6. Access University Platforms — Flex and Slate

Direct integration with Flex (the university’s LMS) and Slate (the university’s notification system) means you can access your attendance records, grades, and university notifications directly from the app. This eliminates the need to open multiple platforms, keeping everything centralized in one place.

7. Custom Reminders

Need a reminder for tomorrow’s meeting or assignment submission? NU Timetable lets you set custom reminders where you can pick a date, time, and title. When the scheduled time arrives, you’ll receive a notification with the reminder details same as shown in picture below where my title was “Meeting with Sir Khubaib Amjad”. This feature ensures you never miss an important event.

8. Daily Notifications

NU Timetable also supports daily notifications, which notify you about your first class of the day. For instance, on Monday, you might receive a notification saying: “Your first class today is Ethical Hacking at 8:30 AM in Room C-305 on Monday.” This feature ensures you’re always on time for your classes. Like shown in picture below.

9. Issue Reporting
