Schedule Planner

Schedule Planner is available on PAWS to help students find class times that best fit into their best schedule. Utilizing this system will allow students to schedule classes around work or other events. To find Schedule Planner, sign into PAWS, click on the Student menu, go to the Registration menu and look for the Schedule Planner link at the bottom of the items listed. For more information on using this tool, please go to www.eiu.edu/scheduleplanner. 

Please remember that choosing courses using Schedule Planner does not add them to your schedule, you must still register for them separately.
