The first digit denotes the academic level or year in which college-levelcourses are usually taken. The number “1” indicates freshman or first-year courses; the number “2” indicates sophomore or second-year courses. Whenthe first number is “0,” the course is College Preparatory level. The second digit represents the semester credit hour (SCH) value of the course. The third andfourth digits are for departmental sequencing and make the course number unique within the subject area of the department. Consecutive numbers are notalways used; however, in general, higher numbers are used for the more advanced courses while lower numbers are used for less advanced courses.Numbers in parentheses at the end of each course description indicate the following: first digit, semester credit hours; second digit, lecture hours per week;third digit, laboratory hours per week. A capital letter “A,” indicates Tech-Prep articulation.212www.sanjac.edu
