Timetabling Requests
Per article 12.02 in the PSAC 901 Unit 1 Collective Agreement (queensu.ca/facultyrelations/psac%20901-1/collective-agreements/MoAs/LoUs) if you have a timetabling request, you can submit it to edudeans@queensu.ca. We “will make reasonable efforts to adjust or change the Employee’s assignment.” However, please note that the BEd courses listed above in this winter 2026 posting already have set class times, since you would be filling in for an on-going course, so there is likely no flexibility in scheduling. Also, note that GDE/PME courses are asynchronous – i.e. there are no live lectures.
