Welcome to Course Advice Course Advice Links

This website is meant to be a quick resource guide for selecting courses at the U of C. From links to the Registrar's Office, to advice from College Advisers, to our growing online syllabi database, this website offers an array of information that will help you choose your courses.

Currently, Student Government, the Dean of Students Office in the College and the University, and NSIT are collaborating to build an extensive online syllabus database. The syllabus database is meant to aide students through the process of selecting classes by allowing students to examine a course's requirements before registration. As such, we hope to facilitate the registration process by providing students with some insight into the courses they plan on taking. To access the syllabi, follow these easy steps:

  1. Click on the Chalk link

  2. Click the "login" button on the top left portion of the page.

  3. On the login screen, click the "preview" button on the lower left portion of the page.

  4. You will now see three tabs at the top of a welcome page. Click the "Courses" tab.

  5. You may now browse the course catalog on the right side of the screen, or search for the course by name (for example, "ECON 200" or "Ice Age Earth") or by five-digit course number (for example, "20100")

  6. Click on the course web site to access details about the course, including the syllabus if it is available.

  7. Click on the syllabus link on the left hand side of the screen to view that course's syllabus. The collection of syllabi is growing fast, and we hope to obtain a majority of course syllabi very soon.

Also, we encourage students to browse the Course Evaluations Website as a way of seeing what other students think about certain courses. In the past, this feature has been helpful to many students, particularly 1st and 2nd year students who are beginning their search for concentration classes.

We welcome your input to ensure this site is up to date and informative. Should you have any feedback or questions about this website or the syllabi content, please contact student-government@uchicago.edu
