Search Courses
In QIS-LSF, several methods are available to find lectures and classes. Depending on your goal and what information you already have, you can choose between different search options.
You can find courses via:
- Degree Program Schedules
- Course Directory
- Search Courses
The clearest view of your regular classes is usually provided by Degree Program Schedules, as they show your program’s lecture plan structured by semester.
