Registration and Records is happy to announce the release of the Schedule Planner tool in Pathway.

Schedule Planner is a web-based application accessible from Pathway that allows students and academic advisers to generate optimized variations of class schedules, taking into account the student’s desired breaks and schedule conflicts as well as course availability.

Once the optimal class schedule has been created, Schedule Planner will integrate seamlessly with the enrollment shopping cart at registration time.

Advisors will be able to spend more time helping students choose which courses to take and not the individual times to take them. The tool provide enhanced service to students by providing the best schedule shopping experience.

Schedule Planner provides a quick and easy way to prepare for advising and registration by generating optimized variations of class sections and taking into account the student’s non-academic activities, such as work or athletics. Students can also create alternate schedules as a “Plan B” if their first choice isn’t available at registration time due to closed or filled classes.

Instructions for students and advisors as well as a YouTube video can be found on the Registration and Records Office website under Adding Classes.
