Search for online classes by Mode of Instruction

In an effort to reduce confusion on how to search for online classes, the "Online course" course attribute has been removed from the both the course and class searches. Effective immediately, users should use instruction mode "Completely Online" in the Class Search to search for online classes.
In CCS, users will notice that the ONL course attribute is now view only. The instruction mode will appear on all classes that have been approved in ECAS to be taught online. It will not be a modifiable field. CCS users should use the instruction mode of “CO” (Completely Online) to indicate a class that will be taught online. 
In the Course Catalog Search, the text "online sections may be available" will display in the results if the course has the ONL course attribute, but “Online course” is no longer a search option. 
In the Class Search, the "Online course" course attribute is no longer a searchable field and it will not display in the results. Users should use the instruction mode "Completely Online" to search for online classes.
