For multiple selections, hold down the control key (PC) or the command button (Mac) on your keyboard and use the mouse to point and click. (Up to ten institutions may be chosen per search.)

Course Starting Date: The default search is for courses that begin three months from the current date. This can be changed to six months, and in addition you can specify your own date. Also, by checking the appropriate box you can see courses regardless of date.
