Using the Online Class Schedule

Search for Classes

The Online Class Schedule displays important notifications and notes at the top, followed by Advanced Search fields to search for classes.

To perform a simple search, use the following fields:

• Term: select the term for which you would like to view classes (Fall Semester 2026, Winter Term 2027, etc.)
• Subject: select the course subject (History, Psychology, English, etc.)
• Course Number: enter the course number (C1000, 1, 101, etc.) (leave blank if you are unsure)

Then click the Search button.

Search Results

For this example, we've selected term Fall Semester 2026, subject History, and course number C1001 — then clicked the Search button.

The results display in a table. Click a column heading to sort by that column. There may be multiple pages of results.

Each class section will display:

• Section Name with unique 4-digit number. Click the section name to view additional details — like if the class has any prerequisites or a requires a support class
• Dates of the class
• Location indicating if the class is On Campus at El Camino College, Online, or Hybrid
• Meeting Information with class days/times and room number
• Faculty name of class instructor

NOTE: The icon next to HIST-C1001-2475 indicates that class has a Zero Textbook Cost. Other sections will have required textbooks which registered students will need to purchase.

Status and Availability

Each class section will also display a Status. The status updates as students register for the class.

• Open (has seats available)
• Waitlisted (no seats available)
• Closed (no seats available, waitlist is also full)

Check the Availability column to view the current number of seats available or number of students on the waitlist.

For example, HIST-C1001-2461 has an availability of "0 / 45 / 45 / 1" which indicates:

• 0 seats are available (the class is full)
• 45 seats are taken
• 45 seats is the capacity for the class
• 1 student has joined the waitlist

The student currently on the waitlist has Rank #1. The next student to join this waitlist would be Rank #2, and so on.

For more info, see What if a class I wish to take is Waitlisted or Closed?

Filter Results

Search results can be filtered by Availability, Location, Term, Day of Week, Time of Day, Instructor, and Course Type.

This is useful to view Open Sections Only or only sections which are Online or On Campus At El Camino College.

Select classes in DualEnroll

After searching for available classes, high school students select their desired class sections in DualEnroll to register for or waitlist those classes.

This is Step 3 of the Steps for Dual Enrollment.
