Schedule Planner is a tool that helps you put together your class schedule for the upcoming term.
Along with your desired classes, you can also input the times when you are unable to take classes. Schedule Planner will use this information to generate schedules to meet your time preferences.
NEW – You can complete your registration in Schedule Planner. This includes adding and dropping classes. Swapping classes will still need to be done in your student center in Orion.

When you lock a course/section, that specific section of the course will be constant on all suggested schedules. You can lock multiple courses on the schedule.
