To access the open course list, log on to

(If you have never logged on to TruView before, click
here for
instructions.) Select the Student tab, then "Search Open
Course List." Select the semester you wish to view, and
then follow the directions on the screen.
The information on this open course list is "real
time" information. You can search for courses by course
number or name, instructor, part of term (full-term, first
block, second block), attribute type, or time and day. See
the information below for a list of tips to help you use the
open course list most effectively.
Search Tips
To use the open course list, you must select at least one
Subject. To search multiple subjects, hold down the control key
while selecting subject areas. To search all subjects, click on
Accounting, then press shift+control+end. When your selection is
complete, click Class Search to perform the search.
Searching by Course Number
You may wish to find all 300-level History courses.
Select "History" in the Subject area, then enter "3%" in the
Course Number field. Click on Class Search to perform the
search.
Searching by Key Word in Title
You may want to find all courses that have the word "law" in
them if you are focusing on pre-law. You can select one or
more subjects, then enter the word "law" in the title field.
Click on Class Search to perform the search. Note: you may
wish to follow up with another search using the word "legal."
If your keyword is lengthy, or you know the course titles are
usually lengthy, you may wish to enter a partial keyword,
followed by a "%." For example, to find all courses that
focus on "Europe," you may wish to enter "Eur%" as your keyword.
Searching by Part of Term (Block Courses)
You may want to find all courses that are offered as second block
courses. Select one or more subjects, then select "Second
Half Term" in the Part of Term field. Click on Class
Search to perform the search.
Searching by Instructor
You may want to find all courses that are taught by a specific
instructor. Select one or more subjects and then
select the instructor. Click on Class Search to perform
the search. NOTE: If you wish to quickly scroll down
through the alphabet, click on the first name in the list of
instructors, then use your keypad to enter the first letter of
the last name of the desired instructor name--this will scroll
you down to that area of the list. For example, if you are
looking for "Woodcox," click on "all," then enter a "W" on your
keypad. You will quickly scroll to "Wandel" at the top of
the W list. You can then arrow down to find Woodcox.
Searching by Attribute Type
You may want to find all General Honors courses that are being
offered. Select one or more subjects and then select
"General Honors" in the Attribute Type field. Click on
Class Search to perform the search.
Searching by Ending Time

end by 3 p.m., so that you can attend varsity sport practice.

and select "p.m." Click on Class Search to perform the search.
