Scheduler updated for Fall 2011 courses!

Take control of your time

RPI Scheduler is a free program to help RPI students schedule their courses. The latest version is 2011, which includes course data for the RPI Spring 2011 semester.

Who updates it? The Scheduler is an unofficial way to plan your schedule for next semester. This site is run by an RPI graduate who is not associated with the RPI registrar.

How does it work? Use it to find courses you want to take and see when those courses are offered. Then narrow down Scheduler's results until you find the schedule that's perfect for you.

5 Dec 2010 — Thanks to everyone who answered my call for a new course XML converter! I got a lot of entries and picked the simplest one that worked — a single Java class written by Mark Smreker.

As this is new code, there are bound to be bugs. Let me know if any discrepancy you see between this, SIS, and ROCS by emailing leak@alum.rpi.edu. Thanks!
2 Nov 2010 — Looking for a volunteer coder! SIS has stopped giving me the course data in text format. Now it's XML, and I don't have time to write a new parser in time for this registration period!
If you can parse http://sis.rpi.edu/reg/rocs/201101.xml and convert it to something that looks like http://rpischeduler.com/install/run/out.schedb your fellow students will love you!
You can use any programming language you like, I really don't care. If it's Java or Python, though, maybe we could set up an automatic parser cron job on Google App Engine...
Email leak@alum.rpi.edu if you're interested!
