Course Numbers and Class Sections
Course Numbers
Courses are numbered to show both the collegiate level at which they are offered and the hour value of the course. The first digit shows the level, and the second digit shows the credit hours. The last two digits are departmental designations. For example, Spanish 1301 indicates that the course is taught at the freshman level and carries three hours of credit per semester. All lower-division undergraduate courses ending in the numbers 87 and 88 are honors courses.

Class Section Designations and Descriptions
Letter-codes added to section numbers are assigned by departments to identify registration for special groups. Some classes with a section designation will require a special approval override - please contact the department of the course for assistance. Classes may be searched by ‘Special Group’ in the class schedule’s Advanced Search option in ASSIST. The section codes and descriptions are listed below.
