Credit courses have a course number that includes letters and numbers (e.g. WR 121, ART 115). Pre-college credit courses have course numbers below 100, and do not transfer to a 4-year institution. Professional-technical credit courses count toward Associate of Applied Science degrees or certificates. A limited number of Professional-technical credits may count as electives for transfer degrees. Professional-technical course prefixes may be found here Non-credit course numbers have letters and numbers in the format XART 5785. The “X†before the subject and the four-digit numbers identify the course as non-credit.
All courses offered through The G. Raymond Chang School of Continuing Education have a unique course ID beginning with the letter “C” followed by three letters and three numbers. The letters indicate the subject area (e.g., ACC for Accounting courses) and the catalog numbers identify the specific course. Two-term courses have a two-digit catalog number followed by “A/B” (e.g., CNUR 80A/B). Many but not all continuing education courses are the same as those offered in Ryerson full- and/or part-time and, upon approval, may be used as transfer credits in Ryerson degree/diploma programs or at other universities. Exceptions are courses beginning with the letters CW, CX, and CY, which are either certificate credit only or non-credit (having no full- or part-time program equivalent). The credit designation of each course is clearly indicated next to the course title, and equivalencies (if applicable) are stated at the end of the course description.
Every course is designated by a rubric and course number. The rubric is a 2, 3, or 4 letter designation for the department and study area. As examples, BIOL is the rubric for biology courses, POLS is the rubric for political science courses, and PM is the rubric for Public Management courses. The rubric is followed by a four digit number. The number is specific for each course and designates the level of the course. Freshman courses are numbered 1000-1999, sophomore courses are labeled 2000-2999, junior courses are labeled 3000-3999, senior courses are labeled 4000-4999, and graduate courses are labeled 5000-6999.
A numeric code signifying the anticipated academic level and the credit hour value of a course. At SHSU, course numbers consist of three digits. The first digit in the sequence indicates the course level and suggests the academic year in which the course is typically taken. Lower-level undergraduate courses have a “1†or “2†in the first digit; upper-level undergraduate courses have a “3†or “4†in the first digit; and graduate courses have a “5†or higher in the first digit.
(e.g. 1A03) can be interpreted as follows: The initial digit indicates the level of the course; the letter(s) in the middle identifies the specific courses within the level; and the final digit(s) defines the number of course units.
Numbers containing 3 or 4 digits are used to identify courses in the course catalog and in the course schedule. For example, Freshman English might be 101. The first digit indicates the class year in which the subject is usually taken, the middle 1 or 2 digits identify the course within the subject field, and the last digit indicates the number of credit hours the course carries. A course number beginning with a "0" indicates that it does not carry credit hours applicable to a degree. The numbering system varies widely depending upon the institution.
Numbers assigned to specific classes.
Numerical and alphabetical codes assigned to classes that designate the subject being taught, the recommended year in which the student should enroll and the number of hours earned for successful completion of course requirements. Course primarily for freshman and sophomore are designated as 1000 or 2000; junior and senior courses are designated at 3000 and 4000.
You've heard of English 101 or History 101, right? All classes are identified by numbers containing three or four digits. Most freshmen and sophomores take lower division, or 100- to 200-level courses, while juniors and seniors take upper-division courses in the 300-400 level.
All courses are identified by numbers usually containing 3 or 4 digits, for example, at DACC English courses are designated as ENGL101, ENG 121, etc.. The first digit indicates the class year in which the subject is usually taken, and the other 2 digits identify the course within the subject field. A course number beginning with a "0" indicates that it does not carry credit hours applicable to a certificate or degree.
Courses offered at Andrews on the undergraduate level are numbered from 100 to 499. Normally courses designed for freshman are numbered in the 100s. Courses for Sophomores in the 200s, for Juniors in the 300s and for Seniors in the 400s. Lowerclassmen may not be able to register for upper division courses.
Numbers that begin with a zero (i.e. AIM 041) are two-term courses, (Sept. - Apr.). Numbers that begin with a digit other than zero (i.e. AIM 401) are one-term courses, (Sept. - Dec.).
All courses are identified by numbers usually containing 3 or 4 digits. For example, at CCC English Composition is ENG 102. A course number beginning with a "0" indicates that it does not carry credit hours applicable to a degree.
The letters and numbers assigned to each course for identification. For example, ENGL 101 and PSCN 171.
