Expanded Section Descriptions

Expanded Section Descriptions are strongly recommended by the Faculty Senate, United Academics, and the Student Government Association. Expanded Section Descriptions (ESDs) provide a more in depth description of courses than is possible in the brief twenty-five word course descriptions in the University Catalog. This information will help students make informed choices, and this is especially important in light of the changes in the Add/Drop policy that will take effect in Spring 2012. The ESDs will be available via a link from the course listings in the Schedule of Courses. The development of ESDs was a collaborative effort of the Faculty Senate, the Provost's Office, the Registrar's Office, the Center for Teaching and Learning and the Student Goverment Association.

Below is an illustration of the link to Expanded Section Descriptions through the Faculty Portal:
