You can use the Catalog Advanced Search to locate sections.

The Keyword Search supports single and multiple character wildcard searches.

To perform a multiple character wildcard search, use the "*" symbol. Multiple character wildcard searches looks for 0 or more characters. For example:

• test* - will search for to search for test, tests, or tester, etc.
• te*t - will search for tenet, test, tent, etc.

To perform a single character wildcard search, use the "?" symbol. The single character wildcard search looks for items that match with the single character replaced. For example:

• te?t - will search for the word text, tent, test, etc.

Note: You cannot use a * or ? symbol as the first character of a search.

Use the Catalog Advanced Search to find sections. You can enter the section name (for example, math-101 or math101) to locate a specific section in the Search for courses field. You can also enter a keyword to find sections by title. For example, you might enter british to find a British Literature course. When you use the Search for courses field, the sections found will be listed in order of how well they match your keywords.

Search Tips
The following list contains tips that will help you find the course you want:

• The search is not case sensitive.
• To search for a specific section, enter the course name and section ID strung together. For example, Math-101-01 can be searched by entering math10101 or MATH-101-01.
• If multiple search words are separated by a space, either word will cause a "hit" in the search results. Use "And" in your search to ensure all given search words are found. For example, spanish and conversational to find only the results for sections related to conversational Spanish sections and not all Spanish sections and all conversational sections.
• Using AND versus OR in your search will change the results. If you use the word AND between two words, the search results will contain both words in the title or description. If you use the word OR between two words, the search results will contain either of the two words in the title and description. For example, if you typed Corporate OR Law you would get broader search results than if you typed Corporate AND Law.

The following areas are where your search term will be checked against:

• Course name (subject and course number)
• Section name (subject, course number, and section number)
• Course description
• Course and section title
• Department (code and description)
• Location (code and description)

Use the Catalog Advanced Search to select the term from the dropdown and press the Search button to see the results. The system displays all the sections that are available during provided term.

Either select term or specify dates. The system uses these dates to select sections based on the section’s meeting dates. That is, the meeting start date is used to select sections whose earliest meeting date is on or after this meeting start date. By default, this date will be today's date and maximum range of selection on this date will be Search End Date specified on CEWP. Similarly, the meeting end date is used to select sections with their last meeting date on or before the provided date. If you want to select sections by meeting dates, both dates are required.

Use the dropdown menu to search on a single location. The system displays all sections that have this location.

Use the dropdown menu to search on a single time of day. The system displays all sections that have meeting times within the selected time range.

Use the individual check boxes to select multiple days of week. The system displays all the sections that meet on those days.

Yes. Use as many criteria as you want on the Catalog Advanced Search. The system displays the results that match all the criteria you specify.

Use the Clear button to clear all the fields and reset your search.
