New Class Search

You may have noticed our class search looks a bit different!  While it offers the same functionality, there are a few differences we’d like to point out.

First, you’ll notice that when searching for a class, the default is to now show all sections without clicking the View All Sections link.  We think it will be helpful to have the search results default to all sections so you do not need to remember to view all!

You’ll also notice that you now see the Class Number listed at the very left.  The Class Number is assigned when the teaching department schedules the class, and it is a four of five digit number that will vary by term.  Most of the time you do not need to pay attention to this number, as you’ll mostly concentrate on the Subject and Course Number, but this will be particularly helpful if you ever need to work with your Academic Advisor on modifying your schedule.  Also, you can add classes to your shopping cart by Class Number, so if you see a class that you want to add but want to come back to it later, you can note the Class number now.

For example, HIST 278 Section 001 is Class number 9668 in our example below.

If you’re looking for the meeting start/end dates on a class, you can easily find that by clicking the Section link.

Important: You still want to click that Section link to find additional information on the class, such as enrollment information and any class notes that the department has put on the class.  If the department is reserving seats for a certain major, academic level, etc., you would see details on this added in the Class Notes.

Another minor change is that the New Search/Modify Search buttons are at the bottom of the page, so scroll all the way down if you want to return to search!
