UniTime 4.9

Overview

UniTime is a comprehensive educational scheduling system used by universities and colleges to build and maintain the timetable of classes and examinations for a whole institution. Schedule managers across departments work in one shared system to enter instructional offerings, room and instructor availability and distribution preferences, then run the built in solver to produce a course timetable that minimises student conflicts. The same platform handles examination timetabling, event and room booking for the campus, instructor scheduling, and student sectioning that places individual students into classes.

Because it is designed for coordinated work, departmental schedule managers, examination coordinators and central timetabling staff each get the permissions and views they need while sharing one authoritative data set. UniTime can run on its own as the institution's system of record for scheduling, or exchange data with an existing student information system through its XML interfaces. It began as a collaboration between universities in North America and Europe and is a sponsored project of the Apereo Foundation.
