Course Finding Tips

Understand Schedule Types

The schedule type of a course distinguishes the instructional delivery mechanism (modality) for a course. For example, an online class is presented in a Distance delivery mechanism.

Find an Instructor Without a Subject Code

Since a subject code must be selected, it helps to know the correct subject of the course an instructor is teaching in order to find courses taught by the desired instructor. If you are unsure, you can select multiple subjects before selecting an instructor from the list.

 

Use Attributes for Common Curriculum & Multidisciplinary Courses

Using attributes helps to narrow down options to meet specific needs, such as finding undergraduate courses that count in the Common Curriculum or courses that fulfill requirements for interdisciplinary majors and minors.
