How does the course numbering system work? The first two digits of a course number are significant. The first indicates the scholastic level: 1000 series, freshman, 2000 series, sophomore; 3000 series, junior; 4000 and 5000 series, senior; 6000, 7000 and 8000 series, graduate.
There are standard formats that many colleges use to signify dates, levels and titles. Most college courses are identified by three to four numbers. For example, the first digit may indicate the class year, the middle two digits may identify the subject and the last digit may indicate the number of credit hours.
Usually the college's course calendar won't list course reference numbers, as they change every semester due to enrollment. You can only find your course reference numbers after you have registered in a course.
freshman level1 – the first number identifies the level. 1 means freshman level, 2 means sophomore. Take this course in your first few semesters, and before any “2” courses. 3 – the number of credit hours in the course.
What is the difference between a class and course? The word "class" is used to identify the days/times that a specific course meets (i.e. BIOL 1408 8001). These specific class meetings are called class sections. The word "course" is used to identify a common topic or subject area.

Course Numbers The second part of a college course code is a series of numbers. These are often three digits long, but many colleges use four digits (or even five). These numbers are the main way colleges organize their course catalog. No two courses at a college will share the exact same course number.
Courses are designated by two numbers, separated by a colon. The first number refers to the department or area of the course; the second number refers to the specific course. For example, in the course designated 600:111 the "600" refers to the Department of Art and the "111" refers to the course.
300-level course designation Courses of advanced college-level difficulty taken by majors and upper division students; these are often considered to be courses in the Major, offered for students clearly interested and qualified in a subject.
The course codes are basically a State Department of Education's, a District's and/or school's “shorthand” for course titles. However course codes are determined, they need to reflect a logical system of coding.
