How Do I View Course Descriptions

Course descriptions are brief descriptions of what a course will cover. They are used to give you an idea of what you?ll be doing in a course.*

Course descriptions can be viewed through the course catalogue or through your Aurora account under 'lookup classes'.


To find course descriptions through the course catalogue:

  • Select the term you would like to view classes for.
  • Select a subject to view all courses being offered under that subject, or use advanced search to find a specific course.
  • Select the course you want to view
  • Click on the 5 digit CRN number for the course.
  • From here, click the link labelled ?view catalogue entry?
  • This is the course description. (See example below)

"Ancient archaeological and literary evidence (in English translation) is the basis for a survey of the major social, political, religious, intellectual, artistic and literary institutions and achievements of the Romans, from the period of the monarchy to the onset of the Middle Ages. The Romans are studied in the context of the ancient Mediterranean world but also with reference to their continuing contributions to world civilization."


Please note: that course descriptions are not the same as the courses Syllabus. Syllabi have a lot more information pertaining to the course and are generally released to students on the first day of the course.
