Search Criteria 

 

Entering criteria in multiple fields will return classes that fit BOTH criteria. For example, if you enter the following criteria...

  • Subject: Mathematics 
  • Attribute: Core History

... you will receive 0 results, as there are no Math courses that carry a Core History attribute. Conversely, searches for these criteria individually will return many results.

Courses with no available seats are marked in the Status column with a red exclamation mark and the notation "FULL".

 

Students are responsible for reviewing all Class Details before registering for a course. If Restrictions or Prerequisites exist for the specific class, they will be notated on the respective tabs of the Class Details.

Once you have identified courses of interest, make a note so that you can add these courses to a Plan using the Plan Ahead tool.
