Important Information Concerning Course Numbers

The university is in the midst of a large-scale overhaul of its course numbering system. Some familiar courses have been renumbered this semester; others will change in semesters to come. Some of the courses renumbered this term may change again when the process is completed. To assist students as they choose their courses, we have included the old course numbers alongside the new ones in cases where the change in number might prove confusing.

As one important consequence of this renumbering, classes that were offered in both fall and spring, and which had different numbers for the same course depending on the term, will now have a single course number regardless of the semester in which they are taught. This will be evident, for example, in the creative writing courses. Fiction, poetry, and journalism sections of these courses will now have separate course numbers and these course numbers will remain the same in the fall and the spring. Students should be aware that they may count toward the major no more than two creative writing courses at the introductory level in each of the areas offered (i.e. Creative Writing: Fiction; Creative Writing: Poetry; Creative Writing: Journalism) and no more than two intermediate level courses in each of those areas. There is no limit on the number of advanced creative writing courses a student may count (those courses were formerly Eng. 13, 14, and 22 are now Eng. 13 and 16). Nonfiction Writing and Intermediate Journalism (both formerly Eng. 11, now Eng. 10 and 11 respectively) may each be counted only once.

Please be aware that regardless of your registration status, if you do not show up for the first class meeting, the instructor is under no obligation to allow you to join the class. N.B. In the case of English 1 and 2 you must attend the first four class meetings to retain your place in the class.
