Students can use the College Scheduler tool to visualize possible class schedules in preparation for registration. College Scheduler allows students to build an ideal schedule based on campus, term, subject, times of day, and desired breaks.
Once the 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.
Launching the College Scheduler
Log in to your Student Administration System account. The Student Administration System will open to the Student Homepage.
Click on Manage Classes.
Click College Scheduler Launch tab from the menu.
The College Scheduler tool will open in a new tab. Select the appropriate Term followed by Save and Continue.
From the list of available options, select the appropriate Campus(es) followed by Save and Continue.
Building Your Schedule
On the following page, information such as Course Status, Sessions, Term, Campuses, and Instruction Modes will display.
To modify any of this information, click the corresponding Change button.
Once you click Change, you will be redirected to the list of available options. Make an appropriate selection and then click Save to return to the Build Schedule page.
If you are on a mobile device, the Build Schedule page will have the sections listed in the navigation bar.
Adding Courses
Select Add Course from Build Schedule tab on the College Scheduler homepage.
There are five ways to select courses and add them to your schedule, namely by Subject (default), Course Attribute, My Planner, Class Number, or Instructor.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Regardless of the chosen Add option, once you have completed adding all of your courses, return to the College Scheduler homepage by clicking Go Back To Generate Schedules.

Once you have added all desired classes, select Go Back To Generate Schedules to return you to the College Scheduler homepage and review all of your added courses.
Adding Breaks
Students can build breaks into their academic schedule. For example, if the student has a part-time job in the mornings three days a week from 7 – 10:30 am, they can include their job as a break in their schedule and search 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 for you. If that happens, try adjusting one or more of your 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 you will be permitted to enroll in the classes you have selected. Reasons for being prevented from enrolling in a class include:
The class has a prerequisite.
There is a reserve capacity (cap) tied to a class.
The instructor requires prior consent before enrolling in the class.
Enrolling in Courses from College Scheduler
Once a desired schedule is chosen, students can enroll in those courses directly through the College Scheduler.

Follow the prompts and select Next as you set your preference for each class (Permission Number, number of credits, etc.).
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________Entering the Permission Number for each course is optional.
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________After reviewing all classes, click Finish to move your choices to the Shopping Cart.
Click Register if you are satisfied with your course choices (including when and where they have been added to your schedule.

The Registration Results will appear and inform you of which classes were added successfully and which ones were not, if any.

From the Registration Results subpage, click OK.
The Current Schedule tab will display your schedule according to the courses you are now enrolled in for the term.
