The University implemented the current course numbering system in September 1971. This system established framework within which the academic curricular units could organize their offerings. Some effort was made in 1971 to establish specific numbers to be used by all academic areas offering a common type of course (e.g. 699- undergraduate special study, 899- graduate special study, etc.).
| Course Numbers | Type of course offering |
|---|---|
| 0-99 | Remedial and other Non-Credit Courses |
| 100-699 | Undergraduate Level Courses |
| 100-299 | Lower Division Courses |
| 300-699 | Upper Division Courses |
| 700-999 | Graduate Level Courses |
| 700-899 | Graduate Courses (Master's) and Advanced Credential Courses |
| 900-999 | Joint Doctoral Courses |
| Type of Course | Course Numbers |

(Where there is only one C&I course, it must be numbered 650.)
