CSAR is the section availability report which is produced to see open sections and/or include closed sections. Use the Section Availability Report (CSAR) screen to generate a report indicating whether course sections are available. 

The report indicates the following:

• instructors
• scheduled meeting places and times
• room capacity
• section minimum enrollment and capacity
• figures for the used seats
• waitlist count
• available seats in each section

How To Run a CSAR (basic)

Enter the desired Term (semester) or Terms.  You can enter more than one, however it is recommended to run a single CSAR for each Term.

• Terms are entered as year/term, e.g. 2016/SP. 
  • SP = Spring
  • FA = Fall
  • SR = Summer
  • WI = Winter

OPTIONAL INPUTS.  Leave these blank unless you wish to further filter your results.  Typically used options are in bold. 

• Subjects
• Courses
• Course Sections
• Departments
• Divisions

Enter the Output Device you desire.  “e” will launch a sub-screen that allows you to email the results to yourself.  “h” will allow you to view and save the report as a .txt file.

Disregard all fields in the next screen and repeat step 10.

A new screen will pop up, indicating the status of the report, followed by a display of the report itself.

To save the report, click “save as” and follow the on screen directions.  Alternatively, you can export as a PDF and follow those on screen directions.

Be sure to save the file with the extension “.txt” to ensure easy opening of the file afterwards.
