Search for Course Sections with Filters

Important

Information and features vary according to the roles to which you belong and the permissions associated with those roles. For more information, contact your module manager or your campus support team.

There are several blocks and pages where you can search course sections. Instructors use the My Course Center block and the My Course List page in the Faculty hub. Academic Departments use the Course Center block and the Course List page in the Academic Department hub.

Note

Some settings on the Registration Administration hub affect filter results. They're in Registration Settings, Course Search Filter.

Create and Save Filters

Both of the list pages let you create and save filters to search for sections you need to see. The saved filters are available on the Course Center and My Course Center blocks, too. You can also edit the title of a saved filter, make it the default, or delete it.

Note

The keyword filter searches these fields:

  • Course Code

  • Title

  • Grade Scale

  • Credit Type

  • Advising Requirement

  • Division

Reset and Clear All

After you've started changing selections in a filter, you can reset filter's condition to how it was when you opened the page. Or you can clear all selections so that the list is unfiltered.

If you set a date range, it includes any course sections that overlap the range at all.
