Course Codes & Numbers

Here is your handy guide to understanding Summer Term courses. All courses are assigned a college and departmental code, a three-digit course number, and a section identifier.

For example, CAS EC 101S A1 means that the course is offered in the College of Arts & Sciences (CAS), by the Economics Department (EC). The course number 101 indicates it is an introductory course, the S indicates it is a summer course, and section A1 indicates it is offered in Summer 1.
