Timetable


As an exchange student at the University of Tours, you cannot have access to a personal timetable as you are taking courses one by one, in different departments or faculties, and of different levels.
However, you may look up every course that you have chosen in the general timetable to know the time and place of your course. The following step by step will only be possible once you have your student card in Tours.

1. Log in to the ENT: ent.univ-tours.fr . Your ID and password will be given to you after the final registration, when you will get your Student Card.

2. Click on "Emploi du temps étudiant", and choose the year "Planning 2026-2027"

3. In the menu "liste des ressources" (on the left), click on the arrow next to "Etudiants".

4. Click on the faculty and then the diploma of the course you are looking for.

5. Select the level (L1, L2, L3, M1, M2)

6. You now have the time and place of your course.
