VIAplanner

VIAplanner is a tool designed by students at the University of Toronto to help the community. Our goal is to improve the course selection and scheduling process by providing a suite of tools to browse courses and design personalized timetables on the go.

Introduction

The fundamental problem we are trying to solve:

1. There is no automated process to create good timetables, instead requiring days of manual effort checking different combinations of courses and timeslots
2. The official University of Toronto timetable builder is unintuitive and not good for generating optimal timetables, often leaving large gaps and scattering classes across a very large time range
3. The official University of Toronto timetable builder only provides a single way to customize your timetable, through broad scheduling preferences such as 'Early' or 'Late'
