• CRN #
  This number is the identifier used by the Registration system. It changes each semester.
  
• Class I.D.
  This consists of the department/discipline abbreviation, a three digit number, an optional one letter suffix, and the section number.
  The suffixes "A", "B", "C" are to be used to distinguish different sections of a single class when the approach, content or credit hours differ. The suffix "D" indicates a drill or demonstration class; "L" indicates a lab class; "R" is for research classes; "S" is for studio classes; "T" is for tutorial classes. All classes must have a section number. "01" should be used for the first (or only) section of a class. "02", "03", etc., should be used for subsequent sections.
  
• Course Title
  Use the complete title as it appears in the current "Bulletin of Information." If it is longer than thirty characters, please abbreviate it as you would like it to appear.
  
• Class Hours (CR)
  Use two digits, e.g. 3.0. "V" indicates a variable credit class. "00" is used for non-credit classes receiving grades or for classes which are part of another class and for which no separate grade is to be given.
  
• Exam Code (EX)
  Select the appropriate exam code for the class.
  "C"for classes without a departmental final exam
  "D"for upperclass classes having departmental final exams (Deans' approval required)
  "N"for classes with no final examination
  The default code is "C". If no final exam will be given (primarily graduate courses) please be sure the class is coded "N". Otherwise we will assume that it will require a classroom for the final exam. (Paragraph 14.1 in the Faculty Handbook states that for undergraduate classes a two-hour exam must be given unless the approval of the chair of the department and the dean has been obtained.)
  
• Grade System (GR)
  Select the appropriate grading system to be used for the class.
  "G" -- letter grades;
  "B" -- S/U grades;
  "C" -- no grade to be given in the class;
  "H" -- Law courses;
  "I" -- Law courses S/U
  The default code is "G".
  S/U grades may be given in classes without semester credit hours, as well as research classes, departmental seminars or colloquia or directed studies, workshops, field education, and skill classes. Only one grading system is to be used for each section of a class.
  
• Days
  Use single letters, e.g., M T W R F S N. Please use the letter "R" to indicate Thursday, "S" for Saturday, and "N" for Sunday. If a class time has not been established, also leave this item blank.
  
• Start/End Times
  Indicate the exact starting and ending times, e.g., 9:35-10:25. If no meeting time has been established, leave it blank. Please use standard university class times if at all possible. If it is not possible, please include a written explanation.
  
• Number of Students
  Limits the number of students allowed into the class.
  MAX -- the maximum number of students that can be registered in the class. This number is also used in assigning classrooms.
  
• Room Type
  Classroom -- general purpose classrooms
  Seminar -- seminar table and chairs
  Lecture -- stepped lecture room -- sloped floor
  Discussion -- stepped floor, fixed tables
  Auditorium -- fixed seating, stage
  Studio-- The default classroom type is "Classroom". Please indicate if you have any special classroom requirements.
  
• Instructor(s)
  Use the full name (not nickname) and social security number of each added instructor teaching a class, including FR, BR, SR, if appropriate. Do not use "STAFF" or "TBA". In research and/or directed readings classes, indicate the name and social security number of the faculty member who will be responsible for correcting the class lists and reporting the grades. Additional sections of these classes should be listed if several faculty members will be involved. If the instructor has a physical disability that will limit room assignment selection, indicate what the condition is and the restrictions required.
  
• Comments and Restrictions
  List any additional information about the class, e.g., beginning and ending dates for mini classes, additional meeting times, prerequisites, corequisites, registration restrictions, etc. For additional room write "(over)" on the front and continue on the back of the page.
  
• Permission Required
  A student must receive an approval code from the department offering the course to register for this class. This should be used when Web Registration cannot check for the necessary requirements or the instructor needs to interview each student before allowing them to register for the class. (e.g. Directed Readings, Music instruction classes, etc.)
