Explore the Courses tab
The Courses tab contains a list of the courses you're enrolled in or teaching. Your institution can rename any of the tabs.
- Course Search: Students can search for a course, and if allowed, preview the course. Type a keyword or text string in the box, select Go. The results appear on the Browse Course Catalog page.
- Course List: From the list, you can access any course you're enrolled in or teaching.
- Course Catalog: You can search the catalog for courses or organizations. Select a category link or select Browse Course Catalog to begin your search.
If your institution has access to the community engagement features, the organization catalog lists all organizations in categories, such as organization type or semester availability.
Guests are able to browse the catalog and preview courses. Guests don't have access to the entire course. Instructors control if users are allowed to preview a course before enrollment.
Your institution may use a different catalog or no catalog at all.

How do terms work?
Terms are defined time periods that help institutions organize courses according to the academic calendar. Your institution may use terms to group your courses and control availability in bulk.
The term's start and end dates control where associated courses appear on the Courses page.
