How Section Numbers are Assigned Course section numbers are classified by the University Registrar as follows:
0 special use [see below]
1-399 lecture sections
400-599 laboratory sections
600-799 recitation sections
800-999 apparently unused
For the Department of Computer Science, the
Associate Chairman for
Academic Affairs assigns section numbers to COMP 90,
92, 190, 220-227, 290, 390, 391, 393, and 394 in the
range 001-399. The last two digits identify the
principal instructor, according to a
list
maintained by the Registration Coordinator and
published in the graduate catalog's departmental
faculty list and in the Web
faculty listing.For 0.5-credit-hour research team meeting sections of COMP 390 only, the first digit of the section number is nonzero. Thus a faculty member whose section ID number is xx might offer a 3-hour 290-0xx, a one-hour academic seminar 390-0xx, dissertation credit as 394-0xx. The faculty member's first 0.5-credit research team meeting will be 390-1xx, the second such seminar will be 390-2xx, and the third will be 390-3xx. For more than three, an ad hoc overflow method is used in which a currently unused section ID number yy is assigned to faculty member xx and section number assignments continue with 390-1yy, 390-2yy, 390-3yy.
