click academics
at the bottom left-hand corner: “view schedule of classes”
in the box that says term: type 5069 (somehow, this means fall of 2006)
click basic search
next to subject, there is a blank box and a magnifying glass, click the magnifying glass
next to description, type in the department name of the class that you are looking for (chemistry, english, etc.)
click lookup
it will find you the abbreviation that opus uses for that department. click that abbreviation.
opus will go back to the screen in step #5 and insert the abbreviation there
click search
it might say that the search found over 50 classes, just click continue if this screen shows up.


This is the current schedule of classes, updated by the registrar. Sometimes classes are changed if professors go on sabbatical, etc. etc. This will also give you the complete list of every class being offered. Some people find it more useful than the paper course catalog.

Most importantly, though, this only shows the classes that aren’t full and tells you how many people are enrolled in each one. There are some 100/200 level classes that upperclassmen take, because they are easy GERs. OPUS is very very confusing at first, so if you have any questions let me know.

Also, for the department abbreviations, they’re usually pretty obvious, so just tupe them in that box instead of clicking the magnifying glass and looking them up if that’s easier for you.
