Important Information Concerning Course Numbers

The university recently revised its course numbering system. 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, now have a single course number regardless of the semester in which they are taught. This is evident, for example, in the creative writing courses. Fiction, poetry, and journalism sections of these courses now have separate course numbers and these course numbers 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.
