This page contains step-by-step instructions to assist visitors to the Frostburg State University web site in viewing course schedules and offerings through the public (unsecured) area of FSU's PAWS Internet-based course lookup system.

The public PAWS course lookup system is located at at http://paws.frostburg.edu/courses/

When you access the public PAWS course lookup system, you will see the Course Catalog and Schedule page (Figure 1).

(Note: When you access the PAWS Course Lookup from the Registrar's Office Schedules of Classes page, you will bypass the Course Catalog and Schedule page, Figure 1, and enter directly at the Select Institution and Term form, Figure 2.)

From this page, click View Schedule of Classes . The system will display a Select Institution and Term form (Figure 2).

If necessary, click on the Institution box and select Frostburg State University.

In the Term box, identify the term (semester) for which you would like to view classes. You may enter the term code directly or select the term from a list.

• To enter the term directly, enter term code 2043 for the 2004 Summer semester or term code 2044 for the 2004 Fall semester.
  
• To select the term from a list, click the lookup button to the right of the Term field. Then you will see the Lookup Term screen. Leave all fields on this screen blank and click the Lookup button.
  
  You will see a list of available terms. Click on the term for which you want to view course offerings. The system will update the Select Institution and Term form to include the term code for the selected term.

Click the yellow button labeled Basic Search to open a form that will allow you to search by discipline or location (Figure 3).

Click the yellow button labeled Advanced Search to open a form that will allow you to search by days, times, and instructors. Use the Mode of Instruction option to search for online courses (World Wide Web).

To run a Basic Class Search, two criteria must be selected. Open Classes Only is selected by default, so you need only select a Subject and you are ready to search (Figure 3). To browse for a Subject, click the lookup button to the right of the Subject field. Then you will see the Lookup Subject screen. Leave all fields on this screen blank and click the Lookup button to display a list of all subjects.

Click the yellow Search button to start. The PAWS course lookup system will display your Search Results (Figure 4).
