The 123's of Schedule Building

Here are a few tips to follow in the process of schedule building. It is important to get your requirements scheduled first, and then you can fill in with other electives and non-required courses.

Use a schedule grid to avoid conflicts and lay out your preferred schedule of classes.

1. Enter any required courses that meet at one time only first.
2. List required courses having sections at several times; note times that might work.
3. Be sure to note times for labs and tutorials wherever they are required.
4. Consider other courses that you would like to take. (Note: You may have to eliminate a preferred choice because of a time conflict with a required course).
   

Use two or three grids to lay out alternative schedules should your preferred times or choices be closed. Be sure to include required classes, labs, and tutorials on each grid.

Enter your results, including the 5 digit CRN numbers, on the worksheet; be sure to enter alternative choices that will work, if needed.
