Course Numbering:
WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF CHANGING OUR COURSE NUMBERING CONVENTION.

  • In the new course numbers, the first three letters of the course number represent the department that offers the course.
  • The course numbers we are phasing out are five-digits, where the first two numbers represent the department that offers the course.

The three digits that follow either the three letter department code or the 2-digit department code signify seven different levels:

  • 0-99: Open to students requiring development or remedial work (non-credit learning).
  • 100 level: Open to all undergraduate students.
  • 200 level: Open to all undergraduate students.
  • 300 level: Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
  • 400 level: Open to sophomores, juniors, and seniors.
  • 500 level: Open to graduate students and to qualified seniors by permission. A permission form, available in departmental offices, must be used to obtain approval.
  • 700 level: Open only to graduate students.

0-299 level represents lower-division classes, whereas 300-700 represent upper-division level classes.
