While many courses cross lines between class levels, and therefore the numbering system is not always completely consistent, the following offers a general correlation between course numbers and grade levels. Grade Level Course Number Range Master’s First-Year 6000-6499 Master’s Second-Year 6500-6999 Doctorate First-Year 7000-7499 Doctorate Second-Year 7500-7999 Doctorate Third-Year 8000-8499 Doctorate Fourth-Year 8500-8999

Scripps courses numbered 1-99 are lower division; those numbered 100-199 are upper division. One Scripps course is equivalent to four semester units or six quarter units. Transfer credit will be equated to Scripps courses according to a standard mathematical conversion table available in the Registrar's Office. Courses considered for transfer from a community college are lower division.

Normally, 100-level courses are introductory courses, 200-level courses are sophomore courses and 300- and 400-level courses are junior and senior courses. First-year students may not enroll in 300- or 400-level courses unless they demonstrate exceptional maturity or background in the discipline.

Courses numbered below 200 are elementary and introductory courses; those numbered from 200 to 299 are more advanced, usually based upon prerequisites fulfilled either in secondary school or in college; courses numbered 300 and above are advanced courses usually having prerequisites at the college level.

Course numbers at Trinity University consist of four digits. The first digit indicates the level of the course: 1 or 2 designates lower division, 3 or 4 designates upper division, 5 or 6 designates graduate level. The second digit indicates the value of the course in semester hours (credit hours). The third and fourth digits identify specific courses within the subject area. Thus, a course numbered 1320 would be defined as follows: 1 3 20

100/200 level courses are generally available to freshmen and sophomores; 300/400 courses are available to juniors and seniors; 500 level courses are available to graduate students.
