For undergraduate courses, the time period is five years. During this period, a course number cannot be reused for a different course title and description. As a rule, a new course number will be required if two or more of the other fundamental course elements are changed. Course Numbers Courses numbered 100 are reserved for First Year of Studies courses. Some academic departments use course numbers to indicate a logical or required progression of courses.
Course numbers are normally a three-digit number.
In some cases, a one letter suffix is added resulting in a unique course. Hence, EE 333F and 333G are considered separate courses with unique titles and descriptions. Letters E, F, G, H, I, J, K, M, N, O, P, Q, R, U, V, W, X, Y, Z can all be used in conjunction with a three-digit course number to result in a unique course number. In some cases the suffix letter will indicate a standard defined use of that course. The present registration system will not allow that control.
