Frequently Asked Questions

The ScheduleLab team is still very small. We are growing our list of supported colleges as fast as we can. In the meantime, we encourage you to request your college from within the app. We track how many students want a college and focus on the most requested ones first.

To save a schedule, simply tap the heart icon when viewing it. This will add it to your "Favorites" list on the home page, where you can view it anytime.

To change your college, go to Favorites > Settings > Reset App. This will clear any favorited schedules & return you to first time setup. From there you can once again search for your college.

If your college supports multiple campuses, you can toggle them in Favorites > Settings. By default we leave all campuses enabled, but this is sometimes undesirable.

Schedules are named like this for two reasons. First being that we wanted the names to always be the same, no matter who generates a schedule. So if your friend on another device has the same courses, their schedule 4E635D32 would be the same as yours. Naming them like this also allows our algorithm to work more quickly since it doesn't have to worry about numbering them in order.

In order to keep the app operating at peak performance, we pause our algorithm after about 1000 schedules are generated. Our algorithm will generate the best schedules based on your preferences first so you can find the one you like best. As you scroll down the list, we will continue to generate schedules though if you haven't found the perfect one.

If you experience discrepancies in ScheduleLab's data (missing courses, incorrect vacancies, etc.), the first thing you should do is pull the latest catalog by going to Favorites > Settings > Update Catalogs. If you continue to notice missing courses, please reach out to support. ScheduleLab updates regularly to keep catalogs current, and sometimes this may just be from your college updating their course offerings recently.

ScheduleLab currently collects only a small amount of data essential to running our app & tracking defects. With the exception of college requests, we keep all data anonymous. For more information, please refer to our Privacy Policy.
