Over the next few years, all undergraduate courses will undergo a review process and are likely to have new subject abbreviations/rubrics |
 |
| · |
14 initial disciplines slated for Fall 2009 implementation include: accounting, computer applications, geosciences, math, writing, chemistry, economics, literature, languages, statistics, sociology, psychology, history and political science. |
|
| · |
This process does not involve any changes in course content or curricula. |
|
| · |
Where faculty agree that there are equivalent courses being taught at more than one campus, common numbers and titles are assigned. |
|
| · |
Courses with the same number now have common outcomes. Faculty can consult the common outcomes and put them on their syllabi. |
| |
| · |
Courses that are unique to one campus are assigned unique numbers and titles. |
|
| · |
In many cases, subject abbreviations (or "rubrics" as we often call them) had to be changed to avoid duplication of course numbers within existing course prefixes, a requirement that must be met simultaneously at all campuses. So, for instance, all MATH courses will move to the new M course prefix. |
|
| · |
To make this work at all schools in the state, it is generally necessary to group courses under common subject prefixes rather than prefixes indicating the department. It is likely that many departments will end up teaching courses listed under more than one course prefix. |
|
| · |
Currently, only undergraduate courses are being considered in the common course numbering process. However, as subject abbreviations change, departments can choose to use the new subject abbreviations for the graduate courses as well. |
|
| · |
The Registrar’s Office is in final stages of implementing the changes to these disciplines in the course schedule and changes are occurring daily. |
|
| |
· |
The “static” element is the five-digit CRN. |
|
| |
· |
We recommend ensuring students planning their schedules write down the CRN for the course as it will not change even if the course abbreviation and course number do… |
|
| |
· |
Changes are still taking place with the course schedule link to make it more user-friendly. |
|
| |
|
· |
One such enhancement will be grouping of disciplines that have been split out as a result of common course numbering. |

As more resources are available, we will link them to the course schedule |
