abstract
COTS (Computer Online Tentative Scheduler) is an online computer application to make scheduling classes with an advisor easier for students by allowing the student to create a tentative schedule of classes for next semester. The current system has students and advisors meet to select courses, but in many cases both parties are unprepared for the encounter. This is inefficient and delays the class enrollment which could cause the student to miss a class that’s offered in that semester. The advisor and the student can use this tentative schedule as a guideline to better communicate which classes will be taken in the coming semester. COTS works by surveying a student to gather information such as their major and classes they’ve completed. In this way it can predict and form a tentative schedule of courses for next semester that are relevant to the student’s major. Our program increases the efficiency of student-advisor communication and improves the student’s ability to graduate on time. note
