COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Course numbers consist of a three or four character prefix followed by a four digit number sequence. The prefix represents a course category. The number sequence is broken into three parts: the first digit represents the level of the course, the second represents the version of the course, and the third and fourth numbers are sequential and build on each other as courses are added to a particular category.
