From Compass to your planner

Import your Compass timetable

Compass looks different at every school, so this guide sticks to what is dependable: find a copy of your timetable that Compass can give you, hand it to Made to Teach, and review the draft before it becomes your schedule.

  1. Step 1

    Open your timetable in Compass

    Sign in to Compass in a web browser — the browser version usually shows more than the phone app — and open the view that shows your full teaching timetable.

  2. Step 2

    Choose the safest available export

    Compass documents PDF timetable downloads and a class-details export from a teacher schedule. What you can see depends on your school and access level. Prefer a timetable-only PDF. If a class-details export is available, include only schedule fields and leave out class lists, rolls, notes and other student information.

  3. Step 3

    No export? A PDF or photo works

    Many schools publish the timetable as a printable PDF, and that imports too. So does a clear photo or screenshot of the whole grid, as long as the day labels, clock times, and class names are readable.

  4. Step 4

    Upload it to Made to Teach

    In the app, open Classes → Import timetable. Upload the file directly on your device, or choose Import using our website, generate a one-time code, and upload from any browser at import.madetoteach.com.au.

  5. Step 5

    Review the draft in the app

    Made to Teach turns your upload into a draft timetable. Check every class name, room, day, and time, fix anything that looks wrong, then choose Add timetable to schedule.

Troubleshooting the export

There is no download button

Use the browser version, then ask your timetable officer or Compass administrator for a timetable-only PDF. Export options are controlled by school configuration and permissions.

Your school uses a rotating cycle

Export or capture the complete cycle, including every Week A/Week B or day-number label. During review, check that the cycle starts on the correct date.

The draft misses classes

Upload a full, uncropped grid at a readable resolution. If a PDF contains extra student details, make a timetable-only copy before uploading it.
