Registration Toolbox for Students
Course Offerings (Schedule of Classes)
Use Class Schedule in Self-Service Banner (SSB) to view course offerings for Summer Session 2009 and Autumn, Winter and Spring Quarter for the 2009-2010 academic year. The search functions in SSB allow you to search for classes by department, day and time offered, or primary instructor. Clicking on the course title will show you the enrollment in the class and the number of seats still available. A link to the catalog course description will give you additional information including any required prerequisites for the course.
Course prerequisite checking will prevent students from registering for any courses for which they have not completed or registered for the listed prerequisites as defined in the College Catalog. Some courses are also restricted to certain majors or levels which will prevent registration by students not meeting those requirements. Refer to the catalog for information on required course prerequisites.
