Finding and Filtering Course Offerings

---

By default, all course offerings and their class components are listed on the Quarterly Preview page. To aid in locating specific classes or class groups, you can use the filtering features:

• To Use the filters to narrow which courses populate on the Preview (① above). For more information, see How to Use Filters (KB0033161).
• Typing part or all of an instructor's name into the search box at the top of the "Instructors' column will filter the quarterly preview, showing you only courses with instructor names that match your search (② above).
• You can expand and close a course to either reveal or hide the sections scheduled for that course by clicking the arrow next to the course name.
• The "Class Details' button next to each class (③ above) opens the "Class Editor' page (also available in the Quarterly Schedule Builder) where you can edit class details, instructor information, components, and meeting time/location. (see KB0033194)
