Course Section Numbers
The course section number is the two digit code that appears following the course number. For example, in the course number ANAT 1101A 01 - Anatomy I, 01 represents the course section.
All courses approved in the academic catalog are assigned a section number each term offered. Multiple sections of the same course can be taught in one term or just a singular section of the course can be offered in a term. All course offerings are identified by a specific section number. Each section number corresponds to an academic program.
