Overview

The iGPS (Interactive Graduation Planning System) Course Search is Indiana University's enhanced tool for finding courses and scheduled classes. Course Search combines data from the course catalog, campus bulletins, and the schedule of classes, making it easier for students to find the courses they want.

Course Search integrates with the iGPS Plan and the SIS Academic Planner.
