Look for &#8220;Save&#8221; links to the top-right of course descriptions. Courses can be saved either from the search view or from the detail views linked-to from department course listings.</p>
<p>This screen-cast gives an overview of the Schedule-Planner and how to use it:</p>

<p><strong>Notable features:</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Save courses at any time as you come across interesting ones.</li>
<li>Create one or more schedules for a term to see how different course selections might fit together.</li>
<li>Ensures that discussion and lab sections are considered.</li>
<li>Time-conflicts are highlighted.</li>
<li>Schedules can be emailed to an adviser or anyone else.</li>
<li>Schedules can be printed to aid in finding classrooms.</li>
</ul>
<p>Please note that this tool is designed as a planning and advising aid &#8212; <strong>it does not register you for classes</strong>. Also, it does not have access to individual student records and hence does not check that prerequisites have been met.</p>
<p>Try it out at  <a href="http://go.middlebury.edu/catalog">go/catalog</a>.</p>
