Registration and Courses
> YES - Your Enrollment Services
After logging in to YES, you can search for all courses (i.e. divinity), for a particular course (i.e. DIV 2503), or for all courses taught by an instructor (with the advanced search, searching by last name). Faculty, please note that YES displays the course information specific to the course designation, so the online grading tool is the best way to see your complete class roll if a course is cross-listed.
