Schedule Builder

FINDING CLASSES HAS NEVER BEEN EASIER!

Choosing which classes to take each semester can be frustrating, but we can help with Schedule Builder. Schedule Builder is a tool to assist you in planning your schedule. Schedule Builder allows you to graphically view schedule options based on the courses and offering times that work best for you.

How to access Schedule Builder

  • Click the “Launch Schedule Builder” link to access the Schedule Builder application. (Be sure to allow pop-ups in the browser).
  • Once the application opens, Schedule Builder’s Welcome page should appear. Next, select the term in which you would like to search for classes directly on the Welcome page.
