Searching for Classes

How to Search for Classes
  1. Log in at https://my.ucf.edu using your NID and password.
  2. In the left-hand menu, click on the word “Student Self Service”.  Your Student Center will appear.
  3. Choose to either use the MyScheduleBuilder or to search for all available classes (read on).
  4. Under the heading “Academic Information“, select “Search”.
  5. Select a Term, for example, “Fall 2024”.
  6. Type in Class Search Criteria.  Common Criteria used might include:
    • Subject: The three-letter prefix of your course (ex: MAC, ENC, BSC, PSY, SYG, etc)
    • Course Number: The four-digit number that follows the prefix in the course catalog.  (ex: for CHM 1020, course number is 1020).
    • Check or uncheck the box next to Open Classes Only – we suggest unchecking this box in order to view desirable courses that may have a wait list.
  7. Less commonly used criteria include:
    • Department: The department which offers the course. Only use this if you’re certain what department your class falls under.
    • Class Number: The 5-digit “CRN” for a specific section of a course – you usually only know this if you’ve searched for the class previously.
    • Instructor Name: If you have a certain professor you enjoyed and would like to see future courses they teach.
    • Mode of Instruction: The way your course will be taught, whether online, video, face-to-face, or mixed mode: Course Modalities at UCF.
