Course Numbers

Courses numbered in the 1000’s are intended primarily for freshmen, in the 2000’s for sophomores, in the 3000’s for juniors, in the 4000’s for seniors. Those in the 5000’s are graduate courses open only for enrollment to graduate or professional students.

The last digit of a course number indicates the number of semester hours of credit to be earned. When zero is the last digit of a course number, the course carries variable credit.

Courses numbered as “0” level indicates remedial work and do not count toward hours earned, hours attempted, accumulated grade point average, or graduation.
