This tool allows you to input courses you want to take and generates possible schedules for you. At its most simple, you can just input courses you want to take. For example, if you plan on taking ENGL101, MATH140, HIST201, and GEOG130, you can just input ENGL101, MATH140, HIST201, GEOG130 into the large textbox, and then press enter.

If you need to fulfill a certain general education requirement, you can enter that into the search box as well. For example, if you need a DSHU (Humanities) gened, enter DSHU into the large textbox.

You can further customize your schedule by setting times you do not want to have class. For example, if you don't want any classes before 10am on any day of the week, click on each of the "M Tu W Th F" buttons, enter "8:00 am" as the start exclusion time, and "10:00 am" as the end exclusion time (8:00 am is the earliest a class can start).

If you want to take a specific section, you can input that as well. For example, if you have a friend in BMGT230, section 0304, you can input BMGT230(0304) into the large textbox and a schedule will be generated that fits that section. If you want to take a certain professor, who teaches sections 0301, 0302, and 0303 of PHSC415, you can input PHSC415(0301|0302|0303) to generate schedules that fit any one of those three sections.

All of these options can be combined. For example, here is a valid search: PHIL140(0105|0106),MUSC210(0112),AOSC375,DVCC

Once you have entered your courses and exclusion times, click on the Create Schedule button, and possible schedules will be generated. You can click through different possible schedules with the and buttons on the left and right of the screen.

Hovering over a course on the schedule shows its name. You can click on the Information about this schedule button to view more information about the current generated schedule, including geneds for each course, how many available seats that section has, the average GPA the professor for that section gives for that course, and the average rating of that professor.

Clicking on the Register Automatically button will take you to Testudo's registration page, with the courses of the current schedule filled out. Clicking "Submit" on that page will register you for those courses.

The next three buttons are Edit, Save, and Share. Edit will bring you back to this page, where you can edit the options used to create schedules. Save will save your schedule to your account. Share will give you a link that you can send to others so they can see your schedule.

You can also log in with your GroupMe account to share your schedule with friends in your GroupMe groups. On the top right of the page after you generate a schedule, you can click on Log in with to authenticate with your GroupMe account. You can then select groups you want to share your schedule with, and see the schedules of others in your groups who created schedules on PlanetTerp.
