Course code and course number
Course code: is made up of three letters that stand for the discipline (ex. EDU for Education) following by four digits (ex. 5190) that stand for, in part, the course level and language of instruction.
course section : identify the course format such as distance course (audio-conference HC), online course (WB00 or W100) and in class (C00, F100, F200, S100, S200, T, T100 or T200).
Course number: is made up of four digits assigned by the course schedule software that have no particular meaning. If you know it, you can use it to search for courses. You can also search by subject using the course search engine in your Student Center. Searching by subject is simpler and more intuitive.
