Also, take a moment to visit the York Courses website as it provides a central location where information can be obtained on thousands of courses that are being taught at York University. It will include course descriptions and scheduling information for your courses.

The Visual Schedule Builder allows students to select the courses they would like to enroll and automatically plots them into a schedule. Your course may require you to complete a lab or tutorial. When plotting the course into the visual schedule builder, it allows you to move the tutorial or lab around and show you when there’s an overlap.
