The assigned letter or number following the departmental designation indicates the appropriate level of instruction for each course: A, B, C, etc. special noncredit courses. 1-99 nonbaccalaureate-level courses. 100-199 freshman courses. 200-299 sophomore courses. 300-399 junior courses. 400-499 senior courses. 500-599 post baccalaureate. 600-699 graduate courses. (Some are dual-listed with 400-level courses having a graduate component.) 700-799 graduate courses.

The first digit in course number designations denotes the year in which the course ordinarily is found in the curricular outlines or "checksheets," which are available from the major department or academic advisor. The second and third digits make the course number unique within a department. The fourth digit is 4 if the course is a one-term terminal course, 5 if the course is the first term in a sequence, and 6 if the second term in a sequence. As a general rule, courses with 0 as the first digit do not carry university credit. Agricultural Technology courses, however, are an exception.

1-99 Courses not carrying credit toward a degree (zero credit). 100-299 Courses primarily for freshman and sophomore students. 300-499 Courses primarily for junior and senior students. 500-599 Courses primarily for graduate students, but open to qualified undergraduates. 600-699 Courses for graduate students.

1-99: Course not applicable for credit toward a bachelor's degree. 100-199: Initial or introductory courses. 200-299: Second-year courses in a sequence or development in a field of study. 200-level courses that have an explicit college-level course prerequisite count toward the non-introductory credit requirement.

Between September 1953 and Summer 2008, the following numbering system was used: 001-049, Precollege and deficiency courses; 050-099, Nondegree courses (e.g., agriculture short courses); 100-299, Lower-division courses normally scheduled for freshmen and sophomores; 300-499, Upper-division courses normally scheduled for juniors and seniors; 500-599, Dual-level courses that may be scheduled by juniors, seniors and graduate students for graduate credit; 600-699, Graduate-level courses. In certain circumstances, an undergraduate student may take a 600-level course.

100-299: Lower division 300-499: Upper division 500+: Graduate/professional

Course numbering FYI: https://catalog.ufl.edu/ugrad/current/courses/Pages/scns.aspx First digit in course number indicates the level at which students normally take the course: 0 Special transient students, qualified high school students and other nondegree students permitted to register at UF 1 Students with fewer than 30 credits earned 2 Students who have earned 30 credits and who have fewer than 60 credits 3 Students who have earned 60 credits and have fewer than 90 credits 4 Students who have earned 90 credits or more

Numbers 100-299 are courses intended primarily for freshmen and sophomores. Numbers 300-499 are courses intended primarily for juniors and seniors; numbers 490-498 are seminar, project, or special topics courses; number 499 is for undergraduate research. *from 2011-2012 catalog

COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM An explanation of the first digit of the four-digit course numbering system follows. The meaning of the second, third, and fourth digits varies by department. See “Year Classification of Students” in the “Undergraduate Degree Requirements and Regulations” section of this catalog for an explanation of the criteria for classification as a freshman, sophomore, etc. 0001-0999 • Offered by the University to strengthen students’ facility in certain basic skills; not for degree credit.
