To find courses to add to your cart, search using the search criteria fields. Search Results may include multiple courses.  

Criteria Field

Description

Open text box

Search by keyword, title, subject, or instructor. Note that search results may be broad when using common words like “english”

Any Open Classes

Narrow search results to search for just open classes, any classes, or open and full sections

Exclude Times

Create time blocks so classes offered during that time do not show up in search results. This feature can be used when students have commitments like a job or if they are a student athlete. Note: Exclude Times only works when searching for a class, not when registering

Any Campus

Select a specific campus where a course is offered

Any Level

Narrow search results to see either associates, undergraduate, or graduate/professional level classes

Pathways General Education

Search for classes that meet specific Pathways Concepts

Course Modality

Search for courses by face-to-face, hybrid, online synchronous, or online asynchronous. Remember that asynchronous courses do not have a standard meeting time

In the Search Results panel,

  • A course with only one section will show the CRN and course meeting time
  • A course with more than one section will show the number of sections available
  • A course with more than one section where at least one section is full will appear with the number of sections and a red circle with an x.

Select courses to view specific details including how many sections of a multi-section course are full.
