<P>Roger,</P>
<P>Thankyou for your reply, however I wonder if you could enquire as to the policy of class timetabling in regards to part-time students, surely some allowance is made for other external commitments, this is after all why we are studying Part-Time. If the timetable times slotted in this draft timetable are final then I think you will find attendance numbers internally will be very low. I know I will not be able to make it.</P>

<P>Dear Annette</P>
<P>Thank you for your enquiry regarding the timetable. I regret I am unable to change the timetable.</P>
<P>I have attached the relevant excerpt from the Timetabling and Class Times policy.</P>
<P>6.1 Core timetabling hours are Monday to Friday between the hours of 8am to 6pm.</P>
<P>Regards</P>

<P>I have just seen the draft timetable for the units 301045 Information Organisation and 301837 Collection Management</P>
<P>I noted that the lecture for Collection Management is slated to begin at 8am on Monday and the Laboratory for Information Organsation at the same time on a Thursday.</P>
<P>As a mature age student, I have children and other family commitments (like work) and I would find it very difficult and expensive to attend classes which begin so early. An 8am start would mean that I have to leave home at 6.30, drop my sons at before school care and then on to Uni to arrive in time as I live in Roleystone. Please please please, could the powers that be push this start time back a couple of hours, 10 is far more practical, especially considering the large number of mature aged students with children who are taking this course.</P>
<P>Take pity...</P>
