How to Read Course Numbers
Each course has a six-digit number. The first digit
identifies the department of the college under which the course is taught.
The second and third digits identify the area of instruction. The fourth
digit identifies the program within which the course is being taught.
The fifth and sixth digits identify the particular course.
The
meaning of the fourth digit is particularly important. A fourth digit
of "1" indicates a technical associate degree course; "2" indicates a
college transfer course; "3" indicates a vocational diploma course; and
"5" indicates an apprenticeship course.
Example:
801-152
The first digit--8--identifies the department as Arts and Sciences. The
second and third digits--01--identify the area of instruction as English.
The fourth digit-1-identifies the type of program as technical associate
degree. The fifth and sixth digits--52--identify the particular course
as Communication Skills.
Example:
106-303
The first digit--1--identifies the department as Business. The second
and third digits--06--identify the area of instruction as Office Technology.
The fourth digit-3-identifies the type of program as vocational diploma.
The fifth and sixth digits--03--identify the particular course as Records
Management.
