Planning Your Schedule
Log on to MLC Portal using your MLC Account username and password sent to you in the mailing.
Select the Scheduling tab and then choose:
Schedule Planner
Select Preference for personal preference choices (you do not need to do this, but it may be helpful with first planning).
Select Modify Courses to select courses and the semester you desire. Courses are in the middle and are organized by course number. To select semesters, click on the Add button pointing to the appropriate semester. To switch semesters you must delete one and add the other back in.
Select Plan Schedule to develop a proposed schedule, being careful to note different semesters. You must develop a plan for both first and second semester if you are attending the full year.
Select Make It Fit to design your schedule. If a course does not fit, the course will appear in a white box on the left side of the screen. Clicking on the course in white will make potential meeting times appear in red boxes on the schedule grid. If you are unable to make your schedule fit your selected courses, you must go back to Modify Courses to make changes, by either switching semesters or dropping a course and adding another one. Many first-year courses are offered both semesters.
