Find your lab schedule in seconds.
At IHU (ΔΙΠΑΕ), lab allocations are often published as dozens of plain .txt files. Each student has to open file after file, search for their name manually and then build their own schedule by hand.
- No more scanning through endless text files.
- No more guesswork about which labs you finally got.
- One place to see your full, personal lab timetable.
The problem
Every semester, students receive their lab allocations scattered across many text files. To understand their actual schedule, they have to:
- Open dozens of separate files from different courses and lab groups.
- Search line by line to find their name or student ID.
- Copy times and days into their own calendar or notes.
The result is confusion, wasted time and a high chance of mistakes.
The solution: LabScheduler
LabScheduler is a web app that does the tedious work for you. You simply enter your student ID and the application:
- Searches across all lab allocation files and builds your personal timetable automatically.
- Shows your labs in a clean, structured view per day and time.
