Course Tools
College is the time to explore your interests and deepen your world knowledge. However, it is also a time of great stress when you all want to get away from your computer screen and enjoy some (virtual) breathing room. The courses that matter most help you develop as a person—and in this piece, we will show you how to take control of them using valuable tools.

Selecting Classes
To begin your search for classes, head over to the left side of your screen and use the course search tool. This handy feature lets you find classes based on the topic or instructor. Once you locate a class that catches your attention, click on the title to read its description (shown in blue) and check out any posted syllabi or course materials.
Also, check out what courses are being offered next semester- you may find an offering that works better for your schedule than what is currently available this semester!
Once you have decided on a few potential courses, review ratings and reviews from previous students who took those classes. It is essential to consider the number of enrolled individuals in each section. If a section only has two or three enrollees, but there are thousands across all sections at Princeton University during the same time frame, it may not be the best fit for you. Finally, once everything else has been considered, remember the cost because we offer financial assistance through scholarships, grants, etc. We cannot guarantee funding availability yearly, so please remember: “Cash Only Accepted Here.”
