New Subject Codes in Course Numbers
Courses in Aurora Student are identified with a subject code, not a department
number. For example, 017.120 is now PSYC 1200. This means you will need a
subject code for each of your Catalog and Schedule searches. The drop down
menus on the online Course Catalog and Class Schedule include the names of
the Subject areas, so you wont need to know the codes, but because some
departments have divided their courses into several subjects, you may need
assistance in identifying the subject area you want. For example, the
department of French, Spanish and Italian (044) now offer their courses as
French (FREN), Spanish (SPAN), or Italian (ITAL). A complete list of Subject
areas, organized by faculty and department, and also offered alphabetically is
available on the Calendar main page.
Hint: If you would like to search for courses in more than one subject at once,
while searching the Course Catalog or the Class Schedule, press and hold the
Control or Command key while selecting subjects you wish to include in your
search.
New Ways to Search the Course Catalog and Class Schedule
The main change you will see in the online Catalog and Schedule will be the
course search tools:
* If you want to see course descriptions, search the Aurora Course
Catalog.
* If you want to see the course offering for the coming year, search the
Aurora Class Schedule.
Note: Although the Catalog and Schedule went live on the web in early May
2006, they are still in development. You will see changes to these functions over
the next month that will improve ease of navigation.
