    The instructor filter showing an instructor's name partially entered
  • Selected by a variety of filters and combinations

The Filter icon Filter Icon opens the filter card.

You can select a saved filter or you can select various checkboxes, enter search phrases, and save your selections as a new filter.

When you select your filter choices, you can apply them for the moment or save them to use anytime on this page and anywhere you can search for courses, such as the Course Center and My Course Center blocks, and the My Course List page.

When filters have been applied, the "filtered down" message shows you how many courses passed through the filters.
