Why do I have to enter at least two search criteria?
The Searchable Schedule of Classes is a very useful, popular and time-sensitive tool. If the search page
allowed wide open searches, it might have a slower response time for all students due to the amount of data
being searched and returned.
Why is my search returning no results?
It could be several things. First make sure that you try the search a different way. You will notice
that the Course Career defaults to "Undergraduate." Try removing this and selecting something else like
Subject and Show Open Classes Only. It's also possible that the department has not updated any data for
the courses to be offered. The registrar's office can help you determine if this is the case. Please
email reghelp@case.edu. Another possibility is that you entered
too many search criteria, and there are no courses that meet all criteria. Try starting over with fewer
criteria. The search page sometimes requires at least 2 criteria. Try experimenting with fewer criteria.
When I enter the course subject, the screen refreshes. Can this be
adjusted?
This is a known issue and will be adjusted if a solution is found.
Does the Searchable Schedule of Classes support wild card searches like
course numbers 2*?
No, but the Schedule of Classes does support "contains," "greater than or equal to" and "less than or
equal to" in order to help you find what you are looking for.
When I search for a course with "Include Only These Days" the search
returns classes with more than just those days. Why is this?
The search is looking at each meeting pattern separately. If it finds one meeting pattern with only
those days, and a second meeting pattern for that class is taught during different days, it still is
viewing the first meeting pattern as having met the search criteria.
How can I look up all Fall 1st half Physical Education Courses?
Make sure that the Course Career is set to Undergraduate (because sessions are career-specific) and in
the Session box, select "Regular - 1st Half Semester".
How can I search for Semester Spotlight courses?
In the Course Attribute box, select "Schedule Search". Then, in the Attribute Value box and
select "Semester Spotlight".
When I click Course Evaluations from the Class Detail page, why do I get
a page that says "Case Course Evaluations - Results" and then the rest is blank?
If there are no course evaluations available for the course, this is the correct result. If course evaluations are available, they will be displayed.
How can I search for all seminars being offered?
Go to Course Component and choose "seminar" from the drop down menu. You may also need to choose a second search criteria such as "undergraduate" from Course Career.
How can I change the career that defaults in as a search criteria?
In SIS, on the left-hand menu select "Set Up SACR," and then "User Defaults." On the page that appears, select a default career by clicking the lookup icon (magnifying glass) next to Academic Career. The career you choose will be the career that defaults in as a search criteria when you go into Class Search through SIS. If you use the public Searchable Schedule of Classes, this career will not default in.
