Most courses use a numerical code to designate a section. For example, a course in which there is only a single section is often Section 0, or HIST*162*00. If there are multiple sections of the same course, then we use numbers to distinguish between them. For example, Math*160*01, Math*160*02, and so on.
In other cases, you will see a combination of letters and numbers in the section designation. We use the following letters.
- A: Module A courses that take place in the first seven weeks of the semester.
- B: Module B courses that take place in the last seven weeks of the semester.
- C: Courses which are cross-listed between departments.
- E: Courses with a required community engagement component.
- S: “Short” courses of less than seven week’s duration. They are typically offered to take advantage of a one- or two-week campus residence by a visiting scholar.
These designations are provided for internal reference only and will not appear on a student’s transcript or on their degree audit.
Not all of these options are available in each semester.
