The document provides instructions for using the Schedule Planner tool in MyCampus to generate class schedules that fit with a student's curriculum requirements, availability, and other constraints. It outlines the four-step process: 1) selecting criteria like term and sessions, 2) choosing courses, 3) defining breaks in availability, and 4) generating schedules. It emphasizes checking prerequisites and consulting an advisor to avoid issues. Students can then send their preferred schedule to their shopping cart to complete registration.
