Course Catalog Listing

You can use the Course Catalog Listing report to generate and print a list of all courses in a catalog-friendly format for review, to post online, etc.

The Report Field Output option enables you to include specific course attributes in the report, such as corequisites, prerequisites, credits, hours, course/grade levels, fees, book costs, and titles.

If you frequently generate reports with the same selection criteria, you can save the selection criteria under a name. This makes it easier to create reports in the future with the same selection criteria.

    CampusesClosed The campus or campuses to which a person or item is assigned. It is filtered to display the campuses to which you have access. In some cases, it is also used to filter a list to only those items for the campus. In some lists, you can select more than one campus or select All. In lists that display columns, if the column contains more than one campus, you cannot sort or filter on that column.

    CatalogsClosed The catalog contains the courses required for a program version or area of study. Catalogs are configured by your institution. If all the campuses within a campus group are configured with Enable Catalogs, this field is displayed as required. The Default - None catalog should not be used.

    Course TypesClosed The various types of courses available at the institution, for example, lecture, laboratory, internship, and so on.

    CoursesClosed The code and name of the course associated with the record. Some pages also indicate the course status (Active or Inactive).

    Grade LevelClosed Select the condition for the grade level in the report. The values are Equal To, Not Equal To, Greater than, Less than, Between, Like, and Include All. For example, if you select the condition Between and enter the range (1;5) in the respective value field, the report displays the grade levels between 1 and 5 only.

Task Action to Take
View the report

  1. Select the View Report button. Anthology Student displays the generated report.
Export the report

  1. Select the Export to Excel button. Anthology Student displays the Export Report Data dialog.

    Export File NameClosed The name of the item (e.g., data set, batch, job, process, task, person, organization, entity, file).

  3. Select the Export button.

Anthology Student exports the generated report as a CSV file, which may be viewed in Excel. In some cases, the exported file will contain additional data not displayed in the report on your screen.

If you entered special characters like *, -, !, (, or ) in the report fields, Anthology Student automatically prepends an apostrophe to those field values upon export to Excel or CSV.

Once the report is exported to Excel, Anthology suggests using find and replace on the characters only if necessary to restore original values.
