Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between InfoCenter's Schedule Builder and the new education plan?

The Schedule Builder required selecting period, subject, course type, and description for each subject. The new education plan simplifies this - you typically only choose the subject, and sometimes a specific course.

Do I still need to select course types in the new education plan?

No, course types are being eliminated entirely. As long as your education plan fulfills the program's requirements, you can use your wallet however you want.

How did course types affect funding in the old Schedule Builder?

In InfoCenter's Schedule Builder, the course type you selected directly related to the funding you received for that course. This connection has been removed in the new system.

Is the new education plan simpler than the old Schedule Builder?

Yes, the new education plan is much simpler. Instead of selecting multiple components (period, subject, course type, description), you typically only need to choose the subject, with occasional course selection.
