German universities have a tradition of beginning courses fifteen minutes after the hour. This quarter-hour is known as the "Akademisches Viertel." Courses which begin fifteen minutes after the hour are designated "c.t." (cum tempore) and would be listed as beginning at 9:00 c.t., 10:00 c.t., etc. Courses which begin precisely on the hour are designated "s.t." (sine tempore), and would be listed as beginning at 9:00 s.t., 10:00 s.t., etc.
