Tips for Using the Course Searching System

How to access the system:

• From the UW-Eau Claire home page, click on "Students" and then "My Blugold" on the side bar. (Formerly known as "Blugold Insider.")
• Use the "Quick links" menu within "My Blugold" to find "Course Searching."

Searching:

• Make sure the term you want is selected and that "open" or "all" courses is selected, depending on which you want.
• If you want to include Honors or independent study courses, click on those.
• You can just pick a department or fill in a particular course or course level.
• You can search by G.E. category, foreign culture, time of day, instructor, etc., etc.

How to use the list of courses generated:

• At the top of the list of courses you generate will be a summary of your inquiry-check to see that you got what you wanted!
• Clicking on the "+" will expand the selection to include information on G.E. category and other curricular attributes, drop/withdrawal dates, start dates for short courses, total number of seats in the course.
• Clicking on either the course number or the "P" for prerequisite will take you to the course schedule. This will give you more information about the course, including what the prerequisite is, restrictions, etc. This is really important to look at prior to registering. A course may have a preassignment (which you obtain from the department), for example.
• The schedule bulletin description then links to the Catalogue description.
