Class Scheduler and Course Section Finder

Transcription

1 Class Scheduler and Course Section Finder The Class Scheduler allows students to create a list of potential class schedules. The Advanced Options mode allows you to customize your list of schedules by excluding days/times that you cannot attend classes and provides the ability to exclude specific sections from the schedule creation process, e.g. restricted classes. The Course Section Finder allows a student to find sections of an additional course that will fit into an existing schedule.
