Schedmule

Schedmule allows students and advisors to create schedules each term based on student preference. Students are able to input their busy times and other various preferences to create a schedule that works best for them. Schedmule even has an auto-generate function which can generate anywhere from 5 to 100 different schedules that take into account the student’s preferences. Once a student finds their desired schedule, they can push that schedule right into their PeopleSoft shopping cart and complete enrollment.
