Course Numbering *
 Courses which may be repeated for credit no longer need to have zero as the third digit. [Senate action, March 23, 2005)
- For the course catalogs there will be a repeatability indicator that will appear with the course prefix, number and title of each repeatable course and will replace all text descriptions of repeatabilty.
The example below, illustrates how ETS 410 Forms and Genres, a course that can be repeated three times for credit, will appear in the SU Course Catalog:
ETS 410 Forms and Genres 3 IR R3
A literary genre studied in a paticular historical period.
- Any changes to the number of times a course may be repeated or to the credit limits, as well as decisions to remove or add designations of repeatability, must be communicated to The Office of the Senate Committee on Curricula, xt2254.

Selected Topics, Experience Credit, Independent Study, International Courses,
Honors Thesis, and School of Education Workshop courses]
The present system of numbering courses, approved by the Senate in October 1964,
prescribes that all courses use three digits to indicate the course level, and
a three-letter prefix to indicate the department or college.
To implement the Senate's directive, the following numbering guidelines may be
used to indicate the level and type of course:
000-099 Remedial and noncredit courses
100-199 Freshman level courses
200-299 Sophomore level courses
300-499 Junior and Senior level courses
500-599 Joint Undergraduate and Graduate level courses
600-699 First year Graduate level courses
700-899 Second and third year Graduate level courses
900-999 Readings, research and individual study courses
at the Doctoral level
Exceptions:
998 Individualized study programs
997 Master's Thesis
999 Dissertation
First Digit
The first digit indicates level.
Second Digit
Depending on the department's curriculum structure, the second digit may indicate area of study.
Third Digit
The third digit indicates type of course. For example:
At the graduate level, the third digit 9 in the numbering series 600-899
indicates readings, research and individual study courses other than strictly
doctoral level courses. Either master's or doctoral candidates may take these
courses. The series 900-999 is reserved solely for doctoral candidates, except for 997.
Exceptions
Individualized study programs will be numbered 998; Master's Thesis 997; Dissertation 999.
