Course Search Tutorial for Dual Enrollment Students
The following will explain how to best use the course search for identifying courses as a Dual
Enrollment student. This details how to identify potential courses and how to request them.
Step 1: Course Search Filters
The following is a screenshot of what you see when you visit
[Link]/course-search:
The menus allow you to filter the course search as follows:
• Select a Term*: Use this dropdown menu to choose the upcoming semester (such as “2025
Summer – All")
• Credit Type: Use this to choose “Undergraduate” courses.
• Campus: Use this to identify class locations. We recommend keeping it at “All Campus” to
include all available courses.
• Subjects: Use this to identify a specific subject of classes such as English or Psychology.
• Schedule Type: Use this to identify only Online courses.
• Day of Week: Use this to identify classes by specific days. We recommend keeping it at
“Any Day” to include all available courses.
• Class Time: Use this to identify either Day Classes (starting before 4:00 PM) or Evening
Classes (starting 4:00 PM or later).
• Keyword Search: Use this to add more specifics to your search as needed. This may
include searching for a specific course title or something that may be in the course
description.
After you have chosen your filters, click the “Search” button to see what classes are being
offered that meet your criteria. The available courses will appear below the menu.
Step 2: Course Search Results
Now that you have completed the search, you can begin to see what works for you and choose
the courses you would like to request. Below is the result of a search for Spring 2025 English
courses. Courses that are available will be listed with the course code (ENGL 101), the title
(Writing Rhetorically), a description of the course, and then a table that details each available
section of that course. The highlights indicate where you can find critical information about the
courses for Dual Enrollment students to consider.
Highlighted in red are the first things that should be considered. The columns for “Days” and
“Times” confirm when the class section meets on a weekly basis. The “Start/End” dates show
when the class begins and ends (indicating if it is a semester-long or quarter class). This class
also has a “Prerequisite” at the beginning of the course description. Prerequisites indicate a
requirement to enroll into that class. This may be a lower-level course, placement test, or a
limitation to students enrolled in specific programs. Any questions about prerequisites should
be sent to DualEnrollment@[Link].
Highlighted in yellow are the details needed for the Dual Enrollment Course Request Form.
The form first asks for the “CRN” which is a 5-digit course registration number in the left
column of the table under the course description. It then asks for the Section Details which
combines the course code listed at the top before the title (ENGL 101) and section code in
“Sec” column next to CRN. It then asks for the title of the course (Writing Rhetorically) which is
listed at the top after the course code.
Highlighted in green are “Notes” that are specific to some particular course sections. In the
example above, that section requires a student to also enroll in a specific section of another
course. These notes most commonly appear with lab courses in computer science, life
sciences and accounting. But they also appear with enhanced courses in MATH and ENGL (as
shown above), or with courses that reference additional online content or additional meeting
times for the same CRN which will be noted in the next row of the table.
Step 3: Request Review and Registration
Dual Enrollment students should review the course search and submit requests for courses
using the Dual Enrollment Course Request Form provided for that semester.
Dual Enrollment students are limited to registering for courses so that matriculated
undergraduates have time to register for courses as needed. In advance of registration, the
Dual Enrollment staff will review requested courses to ensure that prerequisites are met, all co
requisites are included, and that there is space available. If necessary, the Dual Enrollment
staff will reach out to students with updates and potential alternatives to requests.
When Dual Enrollment students are eligible to register, the Dual Enrollment staff will send
requests to the Registrar’s Office for registration. Dual Enrollment students will have the ability
to add and drop classes on their own up to the end of add/drop for that semester.
All questions can be sent to DualEnrollment@[Link].
