COURSE INFORMATION AND SEARCH CRITERIA

When looking up classes there’s course information that can be used as search criteria that’s important to keep an eye on, including: how a course will be taught (instructional method), where it’ll be taught (campus), the date range when it’ll be taught (part of term), and special course features (attributes).

Course Reference Number

A Course Reference Number (CRN) is the unique five-digit ID of a class section for a given term. Instead of having to remember the subject prefix, course number, and section number you can use the CRN when asking questions about or registering for classes. Spring CRNs begin with ‘1’, summer begin with ‘3’, and fall with ‘6’.

Instructional Method

Using the Instructional Method students can search for courses outside of those that are typically considered traditional. This includes online and web assisted courses. The course details will list whether a course is
online or web assisted in both the instructional method and the course location.

WEB 0% FACE-TO-FACE - These courses are 100% online and don’t have mandatory meeting times.

WEB ASSIST - The majority of content in these courses is taught
online, however there may be 1-25%, 26-50%, or 51-99% of
mandatory face-to-face meeting times either in-class or online via
a virtual community. This includes courses that require exams to
be proctored in person or at a specific online location with
mandatory times.
