How to Use this Page

Use this page to search for courses by selecting the available filters. By clicking on the link under “Course / Catalog #,” you can view available sections of a course.

The first filter is the keyword search edit, it will search for whatever you enter in the number, name, and description of a course. The remaining filters allow you to pick multiple values from a group of checkboxes. Because some filters have hundreds of options we have provided an edit in each filter which will hide all checkboxes that do not match the entered text. For example if you navigate to the Terms H3, enter 'fall' in the terms edit and then navigate to the checkboxes you will find that only the fall terms are available as options. After the available options each filter includes a summary of which checkboxes have been selected. You can use this to quickly uncheck a checkbox whether it matches your search term or not.

Use the “Advanced Filters” to view more options for filtering your course search.

The advanced filters are hidden by default, to reveal them navigate to the Advanced filters H3 and then press the advanced filters button.

Once you are satisfied with your filters navigate to the Form Controls H2 and press the 'apply filters' button to search. If you would like to start a new search there is also a 'clear filters' link that will reset all filters to blank.

Search results load into the search results table. This is the only table on the page. Each row in the table starts with a Class # link which will take you to a page with additional information about the course, including available class sections. These are the only links in the table.

The table loads 10 results at a time. You can navigate to the first page, the previous page, the next page, or the last page using the buttons in the Pagination H2. If you would like to skip to a specific page use the go to page combobox in the pagination H2 and then press the 'Go' button that follows.
