Instructor Main Page
All instructors will be listed on this page, regardless of the department they are assigned to. If you can search for them on FCTY in Colleague, they will be listed here. Please note that new instructors are added in the overnight upload, any new instructors created in Colleague will not appear in Coursedog until the next day.

- Filter – You can use filters to limit the number of instructors you see.
- Change View – You can view a list of faculty and the number of sections they are assigned to (VIEW BY SECTIONS) or a list of faculty and what their time and room preference is (VIEW BY PREFERENCES)
- Search – You can search for any instructor by first name, last name or first and last name. You must search by an instructor’s legal name, not their preferred name. We suggest schedulers search by last name to narrow the selection down better. Unfortunately, instructor k#’s do not pull over, so you cannot search by k#.
