Course Subjects and Identification Codes

Banner uses course subject codes to identify courses by discipline, enabling the Schedule of Classes to be searched and sorted by course code. When viewing courses for a specific term, students will see a course offering identified by three elements: Course Subject, Course Number, and Section Number.

  • CRN: The unique course identifier.
  • Course Subject: A 2- to 4-character code representing the teaching department.
  • Course Number: A 3-digit number, sometimes with a letter suffix, indicating the course’s classification within the curriculum or degree level.
