COURSE NUMBERING CODE The first number in each course designation is intended to indicate the level of complexity of the course. In addition, the first number also is a rough index of the stu- dent’s year of study at the university. The following are guidelines for course numbering. 001-099 Courses that carry no credit toward a degree or credential. Generally developmen- tal, remedial or pre-college in content. 100-199 Lower-division courses designed primarily for freshman level, but also open to other students. These courses are generally introductory in nature and are usually designed without prerequisites. 200-299 Lower-division courses designed primarily for sophomore level, but also open to other students. Although there is no clear distinction between lower-division courses listed at the 100 or 200 level, there is an inherent assumption that students in these courses have acquired skills appropriate to the second year of university-level work. 300-399 Upper-division courses designed primarily for juniors, but also open to other students. Third year or junior-level coursework is likely to emphasize specialization in the disciplines. It is expected that specific prerequisites are used to indicate the necessary competencies required for study at this level. These courses do not give graduate credit. 400-499 Upper-division courses designed primarily for seniors, but also open to other students. Prerequisite work is required. Coursework is intended to provide depth of understanding or additional focus appropriate to the disciplines. Courses at the 400 level are sufficiently sophisticated for inclusion on graduate study plans if additional assignments are given to graduate students. 500-599 Courses designed for graduate students who are enrolled in advanced degree programs. The courses of study are advanced and specialized in nature and require substantial undergraduate prepara- tion. Undergraduate students may enroll if they have reached senior status, have the prerequisites required for entry into the course, and have gained consent of the instructor. Courses at the 500 level may be used on doctoral study plans if the approved program provides for such use. 600-699 Courses designed for graduate students beyond the master’s level who are enrolled in doctoral programs. The courses of study take up advanced topics using sophisticated approaches that presume prior study at the graduate level within the same, or a closely related, discipline. Master’s program students may enroll only with consent of both the instructor and the graduate adviser. Closed to under- graduates. 700-701 Course numbers for graduate and post-baccalaureate students (including those seeking a credential) to maintain continuous enroll- ment during a particular semester when they are not enrolled in regular courses. These numbers do not represent courses and do not therefore grant credit. 900-999 Courses specifically designed for professional groups seeking vocational improvement or career advancement. Credit for these courses does not apply to undergraduate degrees, graduate degrees or credentials at the university.
