Directions for Searching for Classes: "Browse Catalog"
Step 1: On the Class Search screen, you’ll
need to choose UH-Victoria, the course term, and Browse Catalog.
Then, choose Go.
Step 2: The Browse Catalog feature provides an alphabetical
search tool for the class schedule.
Classes are organized by
subject (Accounting or ACC, Foundations of Education or FED,
History or HIS, etc.), so accounting courses appear first in the
list (as in our example below).
The “A” is highlighted (the small red circle below) to show we
are viewing subjects (and the courses available within those
subjects) that start with the letter “A” (like ACC 3312 or AED
6304.
To choose other subjects, choose the letter of the subject.
Let’s consider an example. You’re interested in taking a
management class, so you would choose M.
Step 3: Clicking on a letter reveals all of the courses offered,
organized by subject.
So, since we’ve chosen “M,” we get course subjects like MAS
(Mathematical Sciences), MGT (Management), MKT (Marketing), MSE
(Middle School Education) along with the classes that are being
offered within those subjects.
Let’s look at an example. Within the MGT or management subject,
we can see that a number of classes are offered.
If you’re an undergraduate (and depending upon your major), you
might be interested in MGT 3312: Legal Environment of Business;
or, if you’re a graduate student, you might be interested in
taking MGT 6351: MGT & Organizational Behavior (highlighted with
the red circle below).
You have two options here to learn more about the course. You
can click on the course description or name (which will provide
some general details about the course).
You can also View Class Sections. You want to View Class
Sections so that you can see more information about how many
course sections are being offered, where they are being offered,
and so on.
So, let’s click on View Class Sections (shown in the image
above) for MGT 6351, and continue to Step 4
Step 4: When you choose View Class Sections, the course sections
that are being offered will appear.
Depending upon what’s important to you, you’ll want to look at
the day and time the course is offered, who the instructor is,
what location the class is being offered, and/or the instruction
mode.
There are a couple of things
that you’ll want to look for in the display.
Let’s use our example to discuss some of the important features
of the search results.
- Check to see how many pages are available (the red circle
with the number 1 by it in the upper right corner of the image
above). Sometimes, you’ll only have one page of results, but if
more than one page of results is available, the Last will be
bolded. You’ll need to click on Last to see the second page of
your results.
- The section number (the red circle with the number 2 beside
it) is important. Once you’ve decided on a section to take,
you’ll want to write down this section number. In our example,
the section number is 15216. You’ll need this section number to
sign up for (or register) for classes.
By clicking on the course section, you can learn more
information about the class, including the class availability
(whether or not there are seats available and, if so, how many)
and any prerequisites for the course. (To learn about
prerequisites for a course, visit the course catalog at
http://www.uhv.edu/catalog/course_descriptions.asp.)
When you’re finished viewing the screen, choose Return to
Results. Continue to choose course section numbers until you’ve
found the section of the course that meets your needs. Once
you’ve chosen the course that you want to take, write down the
section number. You’ll need this section number when you sign up
(or register) for classes.
Step 5: When you’re finished looking at the sections available
for one class, choose Start a New Search to begin searching for
the next class that you want to take.
Then, return to step one to start your new search.
From here, you can read directions for
Searching
the Course Schedule or you can
Browse the Catalog.
