Santa Clara University

Thanks go to Brian Washburn and Bill Fowler from Information Technology and Registrar Monica Augustin for their remarkable work developing a user-friendly online Course Listing/Course Schedule.

The “CourseAvail” site ( www.scu.edu/CourseAvail ) provides an effective way to see courses offered each quarter, with an accurate and up-to-date listing of Undergraduate Core Curriculum attributes for both the old Core and Core 2009. Instructors and locations are visible as well. Selecting the section number for the course opens a page displaying the Course Description, Class Notes, Units, and other data.

A print option allows viewers to produce a printable .pdf document of all courses for a particular quarter (e.g., fall 2009) or of a particular selection of courses for that quarter. This online Course Listing/Course Schedule will enhance thoughtful course selection among our students and will assist faculty and advisors in their work with students. It will be particularly useful in the advising process for our new Core Curriculum for our incoming first year students. The site provides the information needed to support intentional learning and informed advising.

Kudos to Brian, Bill, Monica and the Registrar's office staff for this valuable tool.
