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. Course codes from 100 to 299 indicate introductory and
intermediate undergraduate courses. Codes from 300 to 499 indicate
advanced undergraduate courses. Courses coded from 500 to 799 are
graduate courses and are described in the graduate catalogs of the
university.
Two course codes separated by a comma indicate
that each semester course may be taken independently of the other (example:
01:350:219,220). Two course codes separated by a hyphen indicate that
satisfactory completion of the first semester course is a prerequisite to
the second semester (example: 01:160:315-316); the first semester may be taken
for credit without taking the second, except if a statement is added to
indicate that both semester courses must be completed in order to receive
credit.
Credits awarded for the successful completion of each
course are indicated in parentheses following the course title. The
notation BA indicates that the number of credits is determined by
arrangement with the department offering the course.
Unless
otherwise indicated, a course normally meets for a number of lecture
hours equal to the number of credits to be earned. Special hours or
modes of class, other than lecture, are usually indicated in italics
below the course title.
