Search Tips for Academic Terms

If you are looking for a course which you can take in an upcoming academic term, you should select that term (or select that term and other future terms by clicking the mouse while pressing the control key).

Courses remain in the ONE database until a campus updates them with a new data feed. Consequently, you may see courses listed for terms which have passed or already begun if you search for a course using the "select all" option for academic terms. If you are curious to see what type of courses might be typically offered in a particular term, you may wish to select a term already finished (or use the "select all" option).
