Course Numbering
Courses at the University are numbered according to the following convention:
|

100-109 General introductory courses not usually intended as preparation for more advanced study in the subject but designed to acquaint students with a field of knowledge in which they do not propose to specialize.
110-199 All other courses offered for junior undergraduate level credit.
Senior level
200-699 Courses intended for the upper years of direct entry degree programs or for all years of non-direct entry programs.

For non-direct entry programs, first year courses are numbered 200-299, second year courses 300-399, etc.
