# How to navigate the tool

*This information requires you to have already logged in the AsCOLA tool. If you haven't yet, please check the section "How to log in"*

Once you are registered, you’re redirected to ‘My evaluations’. Here you can find the **list of courses** of your finalized Online Learning Agreement(s).

You can also **browse through existing evaluations** of exchange courses to help you decide on the courses you want to apply for. **Note**: only exchange courses from Higher Education Institutions that agreed to display their courses in the tool are visible.

Use the top left menu to switch between:

1. Your **own evaluations**, to create and edit;
2. And **all evaluations**, to browse through evaluations from courses you want to apply for.

## How to browse through course evaluations 

1. In the top left corner, choose “**all evaluations**”.
2. **Find specific courses** by entering the exact course title or the course code (be sure to switch to ‘search by course code’ using the button below). **Note:** not all Higher Education Institutions will provide access to their evaluations, it is therefore possible you won’t be able to find certain courses in the list.

**Note:** Not all HEIs allow their evaluations to be visible through this tool.
