Are you new to the interactive Class Search? No worries!
Below is everything you need to know to find the classes you need!
How do I access the interactive Class Search?
First, you can click RIGHT HERE!
When you are away from this page, you can access the Class Search directly from Humboldt's main website, by clicking on the QuickLinks drop-down menu, scrolling down to the Course Info section, and selecting the Class Schedule link.
Students can access this search directly in their Student Centers by clicking on the Search for Classes link in the upper right corner of their Student Centers, just above the Holds section.
Faculty and staff can also access this search by following this navigation in PeopleSoft:
Navigation: Main Menu > Self Service > Class Search / Browse Catalog > Class Search
OK. I found the Class Search page. How do I use it?
First, select the semester for which you wish to view classes:
Next, you can enter the class Subject and/or Course Number (if you know it or if you want to search for a specific class). Notice that by default, the search will display Open Classes Only (because the Show Open Classes Only checkbox is checked). If you wish to also see classes that are full and/or waitlisted, feel free to uncheck that box.
To see the search results, click on the Search button at the bottom of the page.
In some cases, when your search criteria are very broad, you may see a message warning you that the search results will return more than 50 classes (like the message below). Click on the OK button to view all of the search results or click on the Cancel button to adjust your search criteria.
