Enter the course information into the search bar. Enter specific keyword(s) for retrieval of courses, for example if searching for an Art 100 course, your search could include one or more of these: course title (Introduction to Art), topic (art), subject (ART) and catalog number (100), class number (72512).

Example of the search for classes search bar.

The search results will pull any class that has the particular keyword(s). By searching for the keyword “art” the search results will pull every class that has art in its subject, title, topic, etc. The more keywords entered, the more narrowed the search results are.

Example of search results.

Setting the parameters on the left side will filter the search results. If you searched art because you only wanted the subject of Art to be displayed you can set the Subject parameters and the results will be filtered to only show classes with the subject Art. All the parameters that are being used will appear above the courses available to register for. For example, by setting the Subject parameters to display courses with the subject of Art, the results changed from 113 courses to 36 courses.

Example of using parameters to limit searches.

In addition to using keywords to search for classes you can use Additional ways to search located below the Search For Classes search bar.

Example of clicking the Additional ways to search link.

This search is more restricted as it only lets you search by available subjects (drop down menu), catalog number or instructor last name. You only need one search criteria to have information for the search to work, but can search multiple. Search and view results for the available courses.

Enter search parameters into boxes then click search
