Tools
Course Evaluations: Students can view evaluations from previous classes for their consideration in future course registration.
Roadmaps: Visual representations of the various pathways to complete major requirements, the Roadmaps Library is published in the Yale College Programs of Study (YCPS). Students can also find detailed written descriptions of the requirements for each major under Subjects of Instruction in YCPS.
Course/Section Demand Statistics: Course Demand Statistics and Discussion Section Statistics are linked to from the menu in YCS. They help a student get an understanding of whether space is available for a course or section and how high the demand for a particular course or section may be.
Attributes: Attributes act like filters and are coded into courses to help when searching in YCS. There are two types of attributes: Departmental attributes, which are coded to major requirements; and Yale College attributes which are coded to distributional requirement designators (WR, QR, Language, etc.), first-year and sophomore seminars.
