Click here to view the Texas Common Course Numbering System.
Each course includes an academic discipline prefix followed by four numerals (Example: HIST 3305). The first numeral indicates the academic level of a course; Academic Achievement is indicated by a “0”; freshman-level courses by a “1”; sophomore-level courses by a “2”; junior/senior-level courses by a “3” or “4”; courses restricted to graduate students by a “5.”
After taking a higher level course, a student is not allowed to take the prerequisite of the course for credit. For example, if a student successfully completed MATH 1304 - College Algebra, the student would not be allowed to take ACAC 0325 - Pre-Algebra and ACAC0326 - Elementary Algebra or MATH1300 - Intermediate Algebra.
The second digit indicates the semester hour credit given for the course. The third and fourth digits represent the position of the course in the sequence of offerings by the discipline.
Example: HIST 3305
| |
HIST - History curriculum |
| |
3 - Junior level course |
| |
3 - Three semester hours credit |
| |
05 - Fifth course in the sequence of history courses |
Other indicators used in the numbering system include:
- Career and Technology courses are indicated by CTED prefix.
- Hyphenated numbers, which indicate that the first semester course is usually a prerequisite to the second (GERM 1301-1302).
- Directed Study Courses indicated by a section number of 99 (HIST 3305.99).
- Practicum Courses indicated by a 60-69 in the final two digits (EDUC 4361).
- Experimental/Special Courses indicated by a 79X in the final digits (ENGL 4379X).
- Honor Courses indicated by a 90-99 in the final two digits (MATH 4691).
Not every course is offered regularly. Students should consult the Schedule of Classes to ascertain which courses are actually offered during a given semester.
