System of Identifying Courses

Course Numbering Structure & Process

The system of identifying courses in all university parallel curricula was adopted in 1971 to become implemented in the fifteen public junior college districts during the 1972-73 school years. The leadership and efforts provided by the Mississippi Community and Junior College Academic Officers’ Association make this course numbering system possible.

A general revision of the numbering system is prepared on an annual basis in the fall. This approval process occurs only once during each academic year. New courses are presented each year to the chair of a Uniform Course Numbering System Screening Committee by September 1. The recommendation is then brought to a vote by the Mississippi Community and Junior College Academic Officers’ Association membership at the October meeting. Courses approved at the October meeting are scheduled for implementation for the following fall semester. When a new course is added, the course name, complete course description, student learning outcomes, and the course number are included in the updated Uniform Course Numbering System document each spring.

Each course in the numbering system has a three letter prefix which identifies the subject field to which the course belongs. Examples: ENG identifies an English course; MAT identifies a math course, etc.

The numbers, from the left, represent the following:

First number designates year
Example: 1113 indicates first year's work
2113 indicates second year’s work

Second number designates grouping
Note – Groupings are consistent for each year but not from year one to year two

Third number designates sequence in a group

Fourth number designates course credit hours
Colleges have the flexibility to adjust the semester credit hours of a course up 1 hour or down 1 hour. Thus, credit may vary from course credit shown by varying this number up or down 1 credit hour. (EXAMPLE: 1213 and 1214 with the same letter prefix indicate the same basic course, but with different credit due to more lecture or laboratory time.)

All courses designed for institutional credit only (developmental, not for transfer) must begin with a zero “0”.
Example: 0121 indicates institutional credit only

Process for Requesting a Course for Inclusion in This Book

Complete a copy of the form attached on the next page. Include with the form a letter from a University official stating acceptance of the course for transfer credit.
Send to the chair of the Uniform Course Numbering System Committee by September 1, for distribution to the Association by September 15.
The course will be presented to the Academic Officers’ Association during the fall meeting (October).
All approved courses and curriculum alignment changes made will be reflected in the Uniform Course Numbering document updates in the spring semester for implementation the following fall semester.
