Catalog Search and Academic Planner

YES Help

The YES Catalog is a full listing of all courses approved at Vanderbilt. Available year‐round through the Student Registration application, the Catalog features search functionality similar to that within the YES Schedule. In addition, it contains an Academic Planner tool that allows students to organize preferred courses and plan out their academic career.
