Course Numbering System
A three-digit system is used for numbering courses; the first digit indicates the level of the course. Course levels are:

100: Introductory level courses recommended to first-year students and having no prerequisites except when courses form a sequence, such as first-year language sequence.
200: Introductory and intermediate courses, which have some prerequisites or which require class standing above first-term students.
