- From within your Student Dashboard, click the Class Information section in the left-hand sidebar.
- You will be presented with three options:
- Advanced Class Search: Allows you to search by term, subject, catalog number, curriculum requirements, time of day, etc.
- Simple Class Search: Allows for a generic search by term, undergraduate/graduate career, and subject.
- Course Catalog: Directs you to the entire èßäÊÓƵapp Catalog for searching and viewing additional details for courses and programs.

- To view only classes that have open seats, make sure the Show Open Classes Only box is checked.
- When ready, click Search. To clear out all of the fields to start over, click Reset Filters.
