Scheduling the final project is a problem that is often faced by a college. Because there are many criteria that can be used as a reference for preparing the schedule. In the process of schedule preparation has several requirements are needed, such us lecturer teaching schedule should not clash with the schedule of final project. The availability of the chief examiner, timer and rooms for test. Therefore, it need an optimum and efficient method in determining the criteria on scheduling the final project. In this optimization process uses the method of genetic algorithm. Genetic Algorithm (GA) is algorithm that in solving the problem using crossover operator and mutation operator to obtain the desired cross bits. It aims to get the optimal attribute value in terms of fitness equation from chromosome. The result of the training show GA can produce the optimal criteria value of scheduling the final project criteria, so that can be used by the college as the preparation of the final project schedule.
