CourseCodes

Course code designations (WC, OC, QR, S, SL, B, AH, SB, SBH, D1, D2) appear in the course title (as an extension of the title) for Cardinal Core courses. These codes are used for tracking purposes. They indicate the Cardinal Core (general education) requirement(s) that the course fulfills. Some courses are assigned more than one code if they fulfill more than one requirement. The codes can be interpreted as meeting the following Cardinal Core Requirements:
