1 to 99 | Preparatory and remedial (noncredit) |

300 to 499 | Upper-division |
500 to 599 | Advanced undergraduate or graduate |
600 to 799 | Graduate |
Credit-Hour Designations
One semester hour of credit generally includes a minimum of one hour of instruction per week in a semester or two hours of instruction per week in a term (e.g., generally a three-hour class will meet at least three hours per week for a semester).
Credit hour | Semester hours of credit |
Lecture hour | Class hours of lecture, recitation, or seminar meeting per week |
Lab hour | Laboratory hours required per week or hours of field study or individual research per week, beyond the hours shown in the second number |
Abbreviations and Symbols
The following abbreviations and symbols are used in the course listings:
A,B | Indicate parts of a course to be taken in separate enrollments. |
Arr. | Credit, class, or laboratory hours arranged |
ea. | Credit-hour designation applies to each registration |
M | Majors-only course |
R | Designates a course that may be repeated for credit. Two R courses with the same number on a transcript are treated as two independent courses. An R course cannot be repeated to raise the grade received; all grades will be counted because it is assumed that the subject matter varies from time to time. |
