    2. If the desired course is unavailable in the required courses, you may make your selection by searching for the individual course in "Course Search"
      NOTE: You may need to search for courses either as a required course or an elective course to obtain the desired results
    3. Select the course by clicking the plus sign (+) next to the course number. Keep in mind that more than one course section (e.g. LDR1100 A or LDR1100 B) may be available.
