To view the courses that are available to you, select the button 'Learning Areas' on side menu bar. You will need to make a total of 8 course selections (one from each Learning Area). Carefully read the descriptions, and any additional information provided for each course.
To select a course you will need to click the button 'Select Course'. Place the course in one of the empty core selection boxes and click 'Confrim Selection' (the course selection order does not matter).
