Schedule Wizard: One Tool for Course Planning

By: Amy Kidder, Senior Peer Advisor

Registration begins November 1st... have you planned what classes you want to take next semester?

There are several ways to plan your schedule. You may have set up an appointment with a Peer Advisor or Academic and Career Coach, attended Freshman Group Advising, or have just looked through classes on Banner and the Course Catalog. There is no wrong way to plan as long as you get the classes you need and have back up options. 

Another way to help plan your schedule for next semester is by using Schedule Wizard. Schedule Wizard can be accessed through your my.charlotte.edu homepage. It is one of the many useful icons located there on the right-hand side.

Schedule Wizard allows students to visualize their schedule by creating options from the courses you have selected and incorporating other scheduled events like work or an internship. It can also be a helpful tool if you already know the main courses you want to take and are looking for some non-business electives or other classes to fill in the gaps. Schedule Wizard can let you search for classes, read a description, and see the various professors and times it is available. 

To use Schedule Wizard:

• Click on the Schedule Wizard icon on your student homepage. 
• Select the term (Spring 2022) that you would like to create a schedule for. 
• Click “Add Course” Here you can use the drop down menus to find the classes you are interested in.
• Click “Add course” again at the bottom corner and “go back to generate schedules”. 
• Now when you click “generate schedules” you should see a list of possible options with the courses you’ve selected. 

You can click through and even compare two schedules at a time. If you find a specific time slot for one course you can lock it into place. Remember to click “generate schedules” each time you make a change to see the updated options. If you find a schedule you love, save it as a favorite. Now you can have all the CRN numbers ready for the courses you want to register for.

Disclaimer: Schedule Wizard is not recommended as a way to register for classes, simply use it as a tool to help you visualize and plan your semester.
