Using Course Search

The Course Search Portlet can be used by both members of the Rosemont Community and the public to search for courses being offered at Rosemont. It can be found on the Home tab as 'Schedule of Classes (Login Required to Register)'. The Course Search Portlet is also available on the Registration Page on the Academics tab for Undergraduate Women's College students or the Student Services tab for students in the School of Graduate and Professional Studies.

Clicking on the 'Course Search' Icon will allow users to search course schedules at Rosemont. If the add/drop period is open, eligible students will also be able to register for classes using the Course Search function.

Search criteria can be entered before performing a search. However, it is best to enter as little criteria as possible. Limiting your search to a specific Term and Department is probably the best way to ensure accurate results.

Term:

Specify the Year/Term/Subterm for the courses (i.e. Fall 2007, 2007-2008 - Fall - Session AA)

Department:

A search can be limited to a specific department (i.e. Accounting, English)

Course Number Range:
A search can be limited to a specific range of course numbers (i.e. 200 to 300)

Title:

If a course title is known, a user may specify 'Begins With', 'Ends With', 'Exact Match', or 'Contains' and then enter a portion of or the entire title of the course (i.e. 'Begins With' Visual). Use this search feature with caution - the course title must be exact if searching using the whole title.

Course Code:

If a course code is known, a user may specify 'Begins With', 'Ends With', 'Exact Match', or 'Contains' and then enter a portion of or the entire course code (i.e. 'Begins With' PSY). Use this search feature with caution - the course code must be exact and include all components of the course code. The course code contains special spacing therefore this search method is not recommended.
