KU Leuven guide
A study planner that fits KU Leuven
At KU Leuven your timetable is not a fixed class schedule — it is generated from your Individueel Studieprogramma, so no two students in the same year necessarily have the same week. That is exactly why a generic planner struggles here: the useful unit is your ISP courses and their study points, not a template timetable.

What this means at KU Leuven
Your ISP is the course list
The individual timetable KU Leuven generates is built from your Individueel Studieprogramma, the personal study programme better known as your ISP. Set those same courses up in Study-Track and every logged hour lands against a real ISP course, which is what makes the per-course numbers mean anything.
Study points decide the workload, not gut feeling
A KU Leuven course is weighted in study points, and the Flemish credit system defines one study point as 25 to 30 hours of work. Study-Track turns that into an expected hour range per course, so a 6-study-point course carries a visibly bigger target than a 3-study-point one.
Two exam periods and a resit, not one long term
The KU Leuven year runs to a January exam period, a June one, and a resit period at the end of summer. Exam-block pacing is built for that shape: set a target per exam and Study-Track tracks whether you are actually on pace as blok approaches.
Multi-campus weeks
Teaching runs across Leuven and the other campuses, and plenty of programmes put students on more than one. Because Study-Track plans around the timetable you import rather than an assumed 9-to-5 in one building, travel gaps show up as the non-study time they are.
Getting your KU Leuven timetable in
KU Loket owns your timetable, and its interface changes from time to time — so for the exact clicks, KU Leuven’s own timetable help page is the source worth trusting over ours.
Open your individual timetable in KU Loket
Your individual timetable lives in KU Loket, under the tab marked "Onderwijs & Studenten" (Education & Students). It is generated from your ISP, so make sure your programme is confirmed for the semester you are planning.
Get a calendar subscription link if your timetable offers one
KU Leuven documents this itself, in an ICTS article called "Lessen synchroniseren via iCal" (Synchronising classes via iCal). If you can get an iCal or ICS subscription URL out of it, that is the link Study-Track wants.
That article sits behind your KU Leuven login and its steps change from time to time, so follow it rather than any instructions of ours.
Paste it into Study-Track
In Study-Track go to Settings → Calendar → Import settings and paste the ICS URL. Study-Track asks which date range to import, then keeps the feed in sync.
No subscription link? Add your ISP courses directly
The timetable is convenience, not a requirement. Adding your ISP courses with their study points gets you the workload targets, per-course tracking and exam pacing without any import at all.
Study-Track is an independent study planner built by students. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by KU Leuven, and has no access to KU Loket or any other university system. It reads only the calendar link you choose to give it, and you can remove that link at any time.

What you get once it is in
Your real week, not a blank grid
Lectures, practicals and labs arrive from the feed and stay in sync, so study sessions get planned into the gaps that actually exist.
Hours per course, weighted by credits
Each course carries an expected hour range from its credits, and your logged time is measured against it. The course you have been avoiding stops hiding inside a healthy weekly total.
- 75h 0m–90h 0m 100%
- 125h 0m–150h 0m 90%
- 100h 0m–120h 0m 100%
- 75h 0m–90h 0m 70%
Open any course for its activity split and weekly rhythm.
Planning blok
Blok is what students call the self-study stretch that runs into an exam period rather than an official term on any calendar, and it is where January and June are won or lost. Set a target for each exam, and Study-Track compares the hours you have genuinely logged per course against the days remaining, so the course you have been quietly avoiding shows up while there is still time.

KU Leuven and Study-Track: common questions
Your individual timetable lives in KU Loket under "Onderwijs & Studenten" (Education & Students) and is generated from your ISP, your personal study programme. If you can export or subscribe to it as an iCal/ICS link, paste that link into Study-Track under Settings → Calendar → Import settings. KU Leuven documents the subscription steps on its own ICTS pages, and they are the authoritative source since the interface changes periodically.
Yes. The timetable import saves you typing, but everything that makes Study-Track useful for KU Leuven — per-course hour tracking, study-point workload targets, exam-block pacing, grades and credits — works from your course list alone.
No. Toledo is KU Leuven’s learning environment, where course material and announcements live. It is not the source of your timetable and Study-Track does not connect to it. The timetable comes from KU Loket.
One study point is 25 to 30 hours of teaching, learning and assessment work. That is not a rule of thumb: it is set in the Codex Hoger Onderwijs and quoted in KU Leuven’s own onderwijslexicon, and it applies across Flemish higher education. Study-Track uses your course’s study points to show an expected range rather than a single number, because how much of it you personally need varies by course.
No. Study-Track is an independent tool built by students. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by KU Leuven, and it has no access to university systems — anything it knows comes from a calendar link you choose to paste in, or from what you enter yourself.
