Course Numbering System

All courses are designated with a prefix, which denotes the field of study and a four-digit course number.

Course Numbering Guidelines:

• The first digit of the number indicates the classification of the course: 1 – freshman, 2 – sophomore, 3 – junior, 4 – senior, 0 – developmental (Exception: ORIN 0101 or non-credit courses)
• The second digit indicates the number of semester credit hours the course carries.
• The last two digits indicate the course sequence. Thus ENGL 1301 is the first English course in the sequence.
• Courses listing a Texas Common Course Number comply with the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS). These courses are designed to ease transfer to public colleges and universities in Texas.
• Courses that are designed for a specific technical program follow the Workforce Education Course Manual content and numbering system.
