Assembling of an academic timetable structure is one of hardest scholars planning works, in special to the coordinator and pedagogical staff. A proposed schedule well done requires time and hard work, because of some factors involved: professor availability, courses and their workload, students, classrooms. Besides that, each factor has associated a set of restrictions, for example, a professor can not be in two different classes at the same time. The difficulty of this is known as timetable or timetabling problem. Based on related researches, it is possible to claim that in the most of the institutions, the solution is done by manual work, which requires more time and effort from the coordinator course. Because it is a high complexity problem, the search space varies according to the number of periods and the number of disciplines that will be offered in the semester to be considered. To the problem addressed in this work, it has many ways to optimize the search solution by applying search heuristic techniques that make possible to find a quasi best solution to the problem. It is possible to find many solution proposals using this kind of technique. However they provide a solution aiming administrative factors, in other words, they consider only the factors related to the disciplines, classrooms and professors, not considering the students. This work differs from the others by having as objective to propose a solution based in genetic algorithms that finds an acceptable solution to the timetable problem which consider the students about the hours blocking, in order to favor academic performance of student.
