Frequently Asked Questions

What is Schedule Builder?
Schedule Builder is a tool to help students visualize their schedules before enrolling in classes and select, if desired, preferences to map schedules based on individual needs like where to take a class or preferred times. You can build your own schedule manually or have the system create a set number of visual schedules to review.
Where can I find Schedule Builder?
Please log into mydegreeaudit.unt.edu and select “Schedules” to access the Schedule Builder. Students can also access Schedule Builder via their myUNT portal.
Do I have to use Schedule Builder to register?
No, you can choose courses and register directly through myUNT by choosing “Class Search and Enroll”. However, you can leverage both myUNT and Schedule Builder throughout the registration process by directly registering for some class sections in myUNT then using Schedule Builder to visually map out the schedule options for all other classes. Instructions can be found on the Registrar’s website.  
I do not want to take advantage of the preference options in Schedule Builder. Can I still build my schedule on my own?
Yes, if you decide to create your own schedule, you can search course by course to select and add sections you wish to take and visualize your schedule.
If I choose to add preferences, am I required to utilize all available preferences?
No, you can choose which preferences to take advantage of and have the option at the bottom of the screen to reset preferences to their default settings. Please be aware that having too many preferences may limit the number of schedule options available to you or may result in the inability to build a schedule.
I added preferences in Schedule Builder, but they weren’t all honored, why?
Other than “Busy Times,” preferences in Schedule Builder are not guaranteed. The system will do its best to honor preferences, but based on the courses that you select, it may not be able to honor them all. The system attempts to build schedules that consider as many of your preferences while ensuring the schedule includes the courses you selected as those you need.
Can I limit the number of schedules that Schedule Builder creates for me?
Yes, when you are ready to have the system auto-generate schedules for you, use the drop-down menu to select the number of schedules the system will create for you. The system may not be able to create as many schedules as you desire depending on the number or preferences you chose.
Can I use Schedule Builder to register for a course with a lab or recitation component?

Yes, but additional steps may be needed to select sections based on how the courses are linked. Some lectures require particular labs or recitations, while others allow you to pick one from many sections. Others have many lecture options to pair with many labs/recitations. Therefore, to build a schedule for these within Schedule Builder it is best to find the combination that works best for you by reviewing the schedule of classes and manually building the specific sections in your visual schedule.

You can also choose to register for these unique section combinations directly in myUNT and complete the rest of your schedule in Schedule Builder.

For additional information, please refer to the Schedule Builder documentation and video on the Registrar’s website.

Once I have a schedule I want to use, how do I ensure I am registered?
The tool allows you to build a schedule to best meet your needs based on course availability and preferences. To complete registration, you must push the courses to your shopping cart then register from your cart in myUNT.
I saved my preferred schedule. Why can’t I push it to my shopping cart?
You must make your preferred schedule your “Primary” schedule. Once registration is open for the term, you will be able to push your schedule to your shopping cart. When your registration window is open, you will use myUNT to complete your registration.
I received an error message in myUNT after pushing my courses to my shopping cart. What should I do?
The error messages are related to your ability to register for specific class sections based on availability and or requirements of the section. Please visit our Common Errors and Solutions webpage for guidance on addressing the error.     
Why would it say “No Sections Available” when searching from a list of classes in Schedule Builder?
This indicates that the course is active in our course inventory, but sections of the courses are not offered during the term you are searching for.
Why can’t I use Schedule Builder to change the classes I am registered for?
Schedule Builder is a tool that allows you to build visual schedules, allowing for preferences. Registration occurs through the official student record system’s portal, myUNT. If a class on your schedule in Schedule Builder is “Pushed to Cart” or “Enrolled” you will need to use myUNT to either drop the section or remove it from your shopping cart before you can make any changes in Schedule Builder.
Can I use Schedule Builder to register for a special problems or zero-credit hour course?
These courses are not visible in Schedule Builder because of course set up. You should use the course search in myUNT to find the section number of the special problems course or get the section number of the zero-credit course from your advisor. To register for the appropriate section, use the ”Class Search and Enroll” function in myUNT. Once you are registered for the class, it will be visible in Schedule Builder so that you can build the rest of your schedule.
