    Planning your courses ahead of time?

    Use this helpful trick!

    Go to:

    http://classes.uoregon.edu/

    Click on any term. To change it to the term you want, go to the URL on the top of the page and change the last 6 numbers of the webpage. For example, Fall 2007 will have a code of 200701. Winter 2008 will have a code of 00702. And Summer 2008 will be 200704.

    This will give you an idea of what courses are offered in the future based on how they've been offered in the past. But the classes listed are not definite!!! To make sure the class you want will be offered for sure in the term you're planning for, it's best to contact the professor who will be teaching it.
