The Master Course Schedule Development Committee oversees the creation and publication of the college’s master course schedule. Through CourseDog, a comprehensive scheduling platform, the committee works with faculty and enrollment staff to collect feedback, refine course offerings, and guide the schedule through each stage of development and implementation. The timeline below identifies key dates, milestones, and expectations to support timely publication each year.

This webpage offers resources to help faculty and program directors develop a strong course schedule aligned with the college’s strategic priorities and responsive to the needs of students, business and industry partners, and the broader community. Whether you are new to the process or have participated before, this toolkit provides essential guidance and tools to support schedule development.
