Course Designation System

Course Values

The basic unit of academic work is the full credit, which is indicated with a value of 1.0 on all records documents.
A course marked * is a half credit and is indicated with a value of 0.5 on all records documents.

Course Numbering Pattern

Course numbers consist of a prefix number, which indicates the department, school, or committee under whose auspices the course is offered, and a suffix number, which indicates the year of study in which the course is usually taken. When the suffix number of an individual course is changed from one year to the next, the old number is noted, for one year only, in parentheses next to the new number in the appropriate "Courses Offered" list.
