PH TIMETABLE INFORMATION

UIUC course timetable information for the current fall, spring, or summer semester is available through the CCSO Nameserver. The University timetable database is identical to the printed version and is searchable both by course number and words found in course titles.

Nameserver timetable information is updated three times a year. The fall timetable is available in early March, the spring timetable comes online in early October, and the summer timetable is available in the middle of February.

EXAMPLES
To do a timetable lookup by course number, set the "type" field specifier to "fall" (to search the fall timetable), "spring" (to search the spring timetable), "summer" (to search the summer timetable), or "timetable" (to search all available timetables), followed by the desired course number. The course number itself, which usually consists of an abbreviated department or program name followed by a three digit number, should be typed as a single entity with NO spaces between the characters; e.g., "cs101", "span101", etc. (Note: The "type" field specifier [e.g., "type=fall"] is not required, but its use in the selection clause of the query will limit the search to those items in the Nameserver database that belong to the specified timetable.)

The following example illustrates a lookup on a single course number:

ph> ph type=fall music213 

     name: music213 the history of music i
     text: fall92
         : prerequisite: music 110 or consent of instructor.
         : required of all music students.
         : 3 hours.
         : 05929 lect             1       m  w  f  2100  music bld
         : 05930 quiz       a     1        tu th   1180  music bld
         : 05931 quiz       b     9        tu th   1144  music bld
         : 05932 quiz       c    10        tu th   1148  music bld
         : 05933 quiz       d     9          w  f  1184  music bld
         : 05934 quiz       e    11          w  f  1148  music bld
         : 05935 quiz       f     4        tu th   1161  music bld

The next example shows how the metacharacter "*" can be used to print the names of all 200-level art history courses:

ph> ph type=fall arthi2* return name

name: arthi218 ancient greek sanctuaries
name: arthi222 medieval art
name: arthi231 northern renaissance art
name: arthi241 twentiethcentury european art
name: arthi289 senior honors in art history b a
name: arthi290 senior honors in art history b f a
name: arthi291 individual art history topics

To do a timetable lookup by course title, set the "type" field specifier to "fall" (to search the fall timetable), "spring" (to search the spring timetable), "summer" (to search the summer timetable), or "timetable" (to search all available timetables), followed by any significant word(s) in the course title. For example:

ph> ph type=fall modern dance 

     name: dance101 beginning modern dance
     text: fall92
         : for non-dance majors.
         : *may be repeated for a total of 4 semester hours.
         : *1 hour.
         : student cost for supplies and concert ticket approx.
         : $15.00.
         : written assignments and concert attendance required.
