Schedule Builder Tips

See our Schedule Builder guide video for a broad overview of how to use Schedule Builder.

Schedule Builder provides many tools for you to customize your search. Here are four common filters we recommend trying. Access all these filters by going to:

Schedule Builder
Click on "Class Search" on the left side

Schedule Builder's "Class Search" option.

The open/waitlisted/closed search filter.

Filter #1: Open/Waitlisted/Closed

Annoyed that all the classes you search for are closed? Limit the search to only show you classes that are open and/or have an open wait list.

Filter #2: Credits

Especially useful if you need to only find 4 credit options for a certain class, such as if you're searching for English and can't take a 3 credit class.

You can also find smaller classes this way! Set an "upper limit" of 2 to only find 1-2 credit classes.

Schedule Builder's liberal education filter.

Filter #3: Liberal Education Requirements

Find classes in a general field across different departments. For example, if you want to find a broad array of courses about the environment:

Check "Require courses to have [all of] the following liberal education requirements."
Check "Environment."

Bonus tip! You can only search for requirements from separate categories of the the U's liberal education requirements: one "core," one "theme," and "Writing Intensive." See here for details.

Filter #4: Delivery Format

Search for classes that are in-person, remote-instruction (usually meeting at fixed times each week on Zoom), asynchronous online formats, or blended formats.
