Schedule Builder Tips

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'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.

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:



💡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.
