Searching for Degree Requirements, Interdisciplinary Electives, or Other Special Classes Online

Eligible courses for the graduation requirements can be found by using Attributes in your search on Banner Self-Service.  Attributes are also used to code classes with various subjects, which fulfill requirements in a variety of interdisciplinary fields.  Here's how to search for those classes.

1. On the Class Schedule Search page or the Search for Classes Link on Banner Self-Service, choose a single (or more than one) subject from the subject menu.
2. From the Attribute Type menu, click on the type of course you wish to find - example, Writing in the Discipline, Film Studies Electives, FLIC, etc.
3. Click on the Class Search button. This will return a list of all courses (or all within the specified subject) which have the chosen attribute.
