Timetable Craft
Course table maker and schedule maker FAQ.
Short answers about this free timetable maker, UBC Workday Excel, waitlists, PNG and calendar export, and other-campus files (SFU, Waterloo).
How do I get the Excel from Workday?
Open Workday and sign in. On the home screen click View My Courses. Then click the spreadsheet icon (a grid with an X) next to PDF — not PDF itself. On a computer it is on the right of the blue bar; on a phone it is under the title. Import the .xlsx in Schedule Maker.

Why is a lab missing from the grid?
If the meeting pattern is blank, add a time first. Then you can place it on the timetable.
How do Active, Waitlist, and Dropped look?
Active uses a solid box, Waitlist a dashed box, Dropped a dotted box. Nothing is placed until you check it on the left.
How are credits counted?
By unique course (subject + number + term). A lecture and its discussion do not double the credits.
Can I edit an imported course?
Yes. Editing updates the in-browser list only. The original Excel is never rewritten.
What is a timetable maker?
A timetable maker is an online tool for laying classes, shifts, study sessions or exams out on a weekly or daily grid. TimetableCraft is a free timetable maker: add events, choose colors, and export a PNG, printable PDF or calendar .ics.
Is TimetableCraft a free timetable maker?
Yes. All tools are free, need no account and add no watermark. Your plans are saved only in your own browser, and you can back them up as a file.
How do I make a school or class timetable online?
Open the Class Timetable, add each lecture or lab with its days and times, or import a UBC Workday Excel. Choose the classes to show, restyle the card, then download a PNG or add it to your calendar.
Which timetable templates are included?
Weekly schedule, study timetable, exam timetable, work schedule, daily planner, routine planner and a custom timetable with your own columns. Each has editable starter templates.
Is this a timetable maker or a schedule maker?
Both names fit. Timetable Craft is a free timetable maker and schedule maker: you build a weekly course table online, add classes, and export a PNG or calendar .ics.
Can I add classes to Google or Apple Calendar?
