If you can not find class on the dropdown menu, check the pre-requisites in the course planning guide. Chances are the class is not offer in your sophomore year or it is offer in a different semester.

How do I know if a class is a full year class or a semester class? Look in the CPG and if a class is for 2 credits, it is a full year class. A class for 1 credit, is a semester class.
