When my system administer schedules the DTS package it also runs fine.

I would like to be able to schedule it to run during off-peak hours, without requiring an active connection from my machine. I prefer not to ask the sys admin every time I need to have the DTS executed.

Is there any way for a non-system administer to schedule a DTS package?

Michele,

Just schedule it so that it creates the job. Then any time that you want to modify the schedule, you can just run sp_update_jobschedule. You just need to be a member of the public role in the msdb database to be able to do this. sp_update_jobschedule is documented in SQL Server Books Online. Have a look at sp_start_job as well.
