Course Numbers: As of Fall 2005, all courses were designated by letters and digits. The three letters identify the subject area. The digits identify a unique course title. Three digits identify a single-term course. Two digits and an "A" or "B" identify the first half (A) or second half (B) of a multi-term course. No grade is given until completion of both A and B parts of any multi-term course. Prior to Fall 2005, single-term courses were referred to as one-term courses and multi-term courses, as two-term courses. Two-term courses were identified by the placement of a "0" as the first digit followed by any two numbers.
