ASSEMBLE

Balance student, academic, and estates needs and requirements
to create a schedule that works for everyone.

Using ExamTime, schedulers can translate hard and soft constraints
to optimise how the exam timetable
fits together. And because Semestry includes course and exam data,
exam schedulers gain a full view into a student’s timetable across courses
