A Search Facility is displayed in the Select Course Instances table along with the total number of credits that must be selected to satisfy the Optional Course requirement.

Note that the Search Facility is only displayed when the number of courses available to select from is too large to list on screen.

There are two ways to use the Search Facility:

Quick Search
Use this option when you have the Course Code or part code of the Course Code.

Advanced Search
Use this option to retrieve courses by Course Name, Subject Area, School or Level.

Each row of the Search Facility can be used to retrieve a single course. To retrieve courses by Course Name, Subject Area, School or Level, click the Advanced Search button in the first available row of the Search Facility.
