Adding Breaks

The College Scheduler allows you to build breaks into an academic schedule. For example, if the student has a part-time job in the mornings three days a week from 7 – 10:30 am, their job can be included as a break in their schedule, which will generate schedules with classes that begin at 11 am or later on those days.

  1. To add a break, select Add Break.
