The number preceding each course title is divided into three parts.
The first two digits are the administrative code (standing for a
faculty or a school), the next three digits are the subject code, and
the final three digits are the course code.

Course Codes
The course code comprises the sixth, seventh, and eighth digits in all course numbers.
When two course codes are separated by a comma, each semester course may be
taken independently of the other. If two course codes are separated by
a hyphen, students must complete satisfactorily the first course before
taking the second one. Students may take the first course for credit
without taking the second course unless a statement is added to
indicate that both semester credits must be taken in order to receive
credit.
