Navigation Help

This Web site has been designed to provide you with different ways to find information. This page provides navigational information allowing you to quickly locate the documents, policies, initiatives, and pages that you are looking for.

Search Engine

The School's search engine offers quick access to information that is online in both English and French through bilingual keyword(s) or phrase searches.

Basic Search

In the search box, type one or more terms or a phrase that best describes the information that you are looking for.

If you are only looking for a specific course or learning activity, check the box entitled "Courses only". When you check this box, the search results will only include results from the School catalogue.

When an "entire site" search of the department's Web site is started, the search engine looks for those terms whether the text that is visible within the body of the page or stored "invisibly" within the underlying html code.

When you are finished entering your information on the Search page, press "Enter" or select the Search button.

Choosing Search Terms

Choosing the right search term or phrase is the key to finding the information you need. Ask yourself if your term or phrase is specific enough.

Example:

You want information on a learning activity related to human resources. You will get search results that are more relevant when you use the search words "human resources", rather than just HR or resources by itself.
