5 Introduction Washington Online (WAOL) offers an online searchable course catalog and schedule. The course and class data in the catalog and schedule is entered into a college s HP3000 by college staff scheduling WAOL and collegehosted courses and classes. Students will be able to search the course and class data for a specific college in the WAOL database using a Web browser. The searchable course catalog contains both WAOL-hosted and college-hosted courses: WAOL-hosted: System-owned courses available to all community and technical colleges College-owned courses that are either private (enrollments are limited to the college that owns the course) or shared (enrollments are open to other colleges) and are managed by WAOL College-hosted: College-owned and managed courses; advertised in the WAOL searchable course catalog Center for Information Services 1 August 2002

7 Using the WAOL Course Catalog and Class Scheduling Screens In order to offer courses and classes through WAOL, colleges have traditionally established courses and scheduled classes with the Course Schedule screen (IS1001) and the Class Schedule screen (IS1002); colleges were then required to enter the appropriate data into a Web form on the WAOL administrative site. To streamline the process, the following screens replace the Web form and are now available to record course and class information in the WAOL searchable course catalog and schedule: Update Virtual Campus Catalog screen (CM3008); see page 4 for WAOL-hosted courses for college-hosted courses Schedule WAOL Classes screen (IS1037) for WAOL-hosted classes; see page 8 Schedule WAOL and College Classes screen (IS1038); see page 11 for WAOL-hosted courses for college-hosted courses Center for Information Services 3 August 2002

Descriptions of how to complete the fields in this screen when you are adding a WAOL-hosted class begin on page 5; descriptions of how to complete the fields when you are adding a college-hosted course begin on page 6.
