Planning further ahead than a semester is difficult with QuACS. Higher-level courses are commonly offered in only select semesters. The [https://quatalog.com Quatalog] shows data for when classes have historically been offered, but does not have any functionality for schedule planning

=== The Plan Ahead Tool ===

SIS has its own planner. While this one lacks some of QuACS' useful scheduling functions, it allows students to register for all of their courses with one button. Not only is this convenient, but it can also give students an edge when registering for classes that have a few seats remaining that are likely to be taken quickly. It is most practical to use QuACS for actual planning and the SIS planner for making registration faster.

The planning tool is available on the Registration Dashboard. Click "Plan Ahead."

Subject is the course code. You can search it in its full name (“Mechanical, Aerospace, and Nuclear Engineering”) or by its 4-letter code (“MANE”). Course number is not the CRN; It is the four digits at the end of the course code (ENGR-1100)

Find your class and click “View Sections”. Even if the class only has one section, you must click “View Sections” rather than “Add Course” for the whole course.
