Tip: Menu navigation: > Curriculum Management > Course Catalog > Course Catalog

Step 2

Use the "Find" page to locate the desired course. Search by Term and Subject Area to view a list of all scheduled courses, or search by Term, Subject Area, and Catalog Nbr to find a specific course. The Course Catalog page displays, with three page tabs: 

Catalog Data Tab

The Catalog Data tab provides general information about the course, including the course description, minimum and maximum units (credits), course attributes, and more. 

Offerings Tab

Of primary interest on the Offerings tab is the enrollment requirement group (i.e., catalog requisite), if any, which is automatically attached to course offerings when they are scheduled.

Components Tab

The Components tab lists the components that are available for use. For example, if a course is approved for both a Lecture and a Discussion, you may choose to offer it with both components, or just a Lecture, depending on instructional need. This tab also notes which component is the graded component.
