New Section Code Guide (Beginning Spring 2021)
We will be switching our current section numbers to codes with more identifiable properties beginning with our Spring of 2021 schedule. These codes will align with the instruction modes we have in WebStar. They are meant to make identifying the type of course more instinctual for both our schedulers and our students.

H

I
Independent Studies/Internship On Demand (asynchronous)
O

W

Essentially a course ’ s section code will be defined by the letter codes listed above and a one to three- digit number (whichever fits) identifying how many of that particular course and mode has been scheduled.
For example:
ENGL 1157 H001 would be a hybrid course, if there are two hybrid ENGL 1157 the next would be ENGL 1157 H002 (and so on). ENGL 1157 W001 would be a synchronous online course, W002 would be the second offering of a synchronous 1157 and so on. Our special programs will use a combination of these course codes. Two letters of the program identifier and the letter of the instruction mode.
Example:
ENGL 1157 PWP1 would be an in-person course designated for students in Pathways. ENGL 1157 UHO1 would be an asynchronous online course for honors students.
