Finding Courses

Richland Community College offers two ways to find courses -- the Interactive Course Search and traditional Course Schedule documents.  Both include the same important course information - including class times, location, prerequisites, etc. – the only difference is how the information is accessed. 

  • The  Interactive Course Search allows users to perform a query to search for specific courses, based on a variety of criteria. These include searches based on course title, times, and faculty.
  • The Course Schedule is a set of several documents organized by course locations and delivery methods.  After opening, users can easily search within each document by clicking “Ctrl-F”.
