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

• The course search is not case sensitive.
• To search for a specific section, enter the course name and section ID strung together. For example, CHEMI-1551-004 can be searched by entering CHEMI1551004.
• 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 courses related to conversational spanish courses and not all spanish courses and all conversational courses.
• Using AND versus OR in your course search will change the results. If you use the word AND between two words, the search results will contain only courses that contain both words in the course title or description. If you use the word OR between two words, the search results will contain courses with either of the two words in the course 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)

When viewing the Section Details, you will also see a Book Details section that provides the following information:
