College Scheduler was previously name Schedule Builder. You may see this tool referred to by either name throughout this document, as well as in the Student Administration System.
Advisors can use the College Scheduler tool to generate and share possible class schedules for their advisees in preparation for registration. College Scheduler allows advisors and students to build an ideal schedule based on campus, term, subject, times of day, and desired breaks.
Once a student chooses an optimal schedule, they can enroll in those courses directly using the College Scheduler tool when their enrollment appointment (also known as a pick time) arrives.

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.
To add a break, select Add Break.
Indicate the specifics of the break, including times, frequency, and duration of the break sessions, and then select Add Break.
You are automatically returned to the Build Schedule page where you will see the break you added.
Generating Possible Schedules
Once courses and breaks (if desired) have been added, College Scheduler can generate possible schedules using the courses and breaks specified.
From the main College Scheduler page, click Generate Schedules under the Schedules section.
You may receive a message that College Scheduler was unable to generate possible schedules. If that happens, try adjusting one or more of the courses and/or breaks.
After making adjustments, click Generate Schedules again.
Click View Possible Schedule next to the options that appear.
Review possible schedules until you identify your preferred option.
Click Validate to inform you of whether the student will be permitted to enroll in the classes you have selected. Reasons for being prevented from enrolling in a class include:
