Schedule Wizard FAQs

Schedule Wizard is a web-based schedule planning tool for students. Schedule Wizard gives you the option to search course schedules that work around your busy life and time commitments.

The Schedule Wizard icon can be found under the student tab in MyCharlotte in the Quick Links section.

Schedule Wizard is for students to help plan, review and design the most efficient class schedule. By using this tool, students experience a more simple and less cumbersome registration process. This tool is useful for students trying to build a schedule from many possible options.

After meeting with your advisor and reviewing required classes in DegreeWorks, you may start planning your schedule as soon as the course schedule for the next term is available to view on the web. However, you will not be able to register until your designated registration time.

In the “Add Courses” page, click the “Done” button to get back to the main page to generate a schedule. On the bottom of the page, click “Generate Schedule.” Courses and breaks selected will be included in the schedule(s) generated.

Use the Breaks option to block off times during which you cannot or do not want to attend class. You can also click on “options” next to courses in you Course List to deselect specific sections you do not wish to take.

Some courses are marked as closed and open for registration closer to the start of the term for scheduling reasons. Make sure you set your schedule filter for “Open and Full” classes so these classes will be displayed. You can still generate a schedule with closed classes but you will not be able to register until the course is opened for registration.

Go to “course status” and change course status to “Open & Full w/Waitlist Open.”

After talking with your honors advisor and reviewing DegreeWorks, go into Schedule Wizard and search for specific courses needed. If there is a specific section you need to register for, use the Options button next to the course selected in the Course List to select the specific honors section.

Use the tab labeled “Search by Course Attribute.” This will allow you to search courses by specific attribute.

If you like a course section, click the “lock” button to lock in a specific course section. Schedules generated after that will include only the locked section for that course. However, you are not required to lock sections prior to sending a preferred schedule to cart.

Once you’ve selected your courses and are on the main screen, click the “options” button next to each course to view course sections. From there you can view all sections with meeting times, instructors and open seats. Check the boxes that correlate to the courses you want included in your schedule. Click “save & close.” On the Main Screen, click “generate schedule” to view results.
