UofM Course Calendar 2006-2007: Help or How to Search the Calendar

How to Search the Course Calendar

The Basics - Searching and Browsing
Simple Search
To do a simple search, type in keywords or a course number associated with the course you are looking for and then click the "Search" button. The Calendar checks the more than 4800 courses available in all faculties and departments to see if any of their titles or descriptions match the terms you have requested.
Faculty and Department Menu Pulldowns
If you already know the faculty or department that offers the courses you want, you can immediately narrow your search by using one or both of the two pulldown menus found below the search text box.
If you select a department in the first menu after typing your keywords, its associated faculty automatically appears in the second menu. Click "Search."
If you would like to confine your search to a particular faculty but you don't wish to specify a single department, pick the faculty from the second menu. Click "Search." The first menu remains as "Search All Departments" and your search results will contain relevant courses from all the departments within the faculty you chose.
For example, if you enter "introduction literature" as your keywords and then select the department of English, the faculty pulldown instantly changes to "Arts, Faculty of." The search returns the relevant courses available in the English department in the Faculty of Arts.
If you leave the departments menu to search "all" but change the faculty menu to "Arts" for this example, the list of courses returned includes all those relevant from the Faculty of Arts' departments of English; French, Spanish & Italian; Icelandic; Near Eastern & Judaic Studies; Religion; Slavic and German Studies; and Theatre.
Tip: If you are using Microsoft's Internet Explorer as your Web browser, selecting a faculty automatically changes the options in the department pulldown menu to show just the ones that belong to that faculty.
Browsing a Department
To view all the courses for a given department, first select the department from the pulldown menu. In the search box type a *
Click "Search."
The asterisk symbol acts as a "wildcard," causing all the courses for that department to be listed.
Tip: You cannot browse an entire faculty because of the resulting large number of courses.
Undergraduate and Graduate Searches
The Calendar automatically includes both undergraduate and graduate courses in your search results. If you want to search only undergraduate courses, remove the check mark from "graduate" by clicking on it.
If you want to search only graduate courses, remove the check mark from "undergraduate" by clicking on it. At least one of the undergraduate and graduate checkboxes must be marked.
