Classification of Courses

The bulletin contains descriptions of the College's departments, programs, and courses. Each course is assigned a letter prefix followed by a number. The prefix V indicates undergraduate courses offered in the College; G indicates a graduate course offered by the Graduate School of Arts and Science.

Graduate courses open to qualified undergraduates are designated by the departments. The departmental policy in this matter may be indicated in this bulletin or in the Graduate School of Arts and Science section of the directory of classes, which is available during each registration period.

Hyphenated courses (e.g., V77.0101-0102) are full-year courses. Each term is registered for individually, but no credit is granted for completing only the first term of the full-year course. In the designation of a course where the numbers indicating each half of the course are separated by a comma, not a hyphen, credit will be granted for completing only the first term of the course unless it is indicated otherwise. Students should be aware that in certain of these courses, satisfactory completion of the first term of the course is a prerequisite for entry into the second term of the course.
