Appendix A: Texas Common Course Numbering System

 This is a modified course number with a higher credit value than is normally offered at the University. The higher value does not affect the course's applicability toward degree requirements.

 Lower-division biology courses may transfer as generic credit, without a specific University course number. The terms "FLAB" and "SLAB" identify freshman- and sophomore-level combined lecture and laboratory credit; "FRMN" and "SOPH," freshman- and sophomore-level lecture credit; and "LAB," lower-division laboratory credit. For students in the School of Biological Sciences, such credit is applicable toward degrees only with department approval. For students in other degree plans that require specific biology courses, such credit is applicable toward degrees only with the approval of the student's academic dean. Introductory major-track lecture credit (TCCN BIOL 1406, 1407, 1306, or 1307) generally transfers as Biology 311C and 311D. Major-track laboratory credit (TCCN BIOL 1106, 1107, or the lab components of 1406 and 1407) generally transfers with the modified course numbers BIO 206LA and 206LB to reflect a lower credit value than is normally offered at the University.

Nonmajor lecture credit (TCCN BIOL 1408, 1409, 1308, or 1309) generally transfers as Biology 301L and 301M. Nonmajor laboratory credit (TCCN BIOL 1108, 1109, or the lab components of 1408 and 1409) transfers generically, because the University does not offer nonmajor lab courses.

 This is a modified course number with a lower credit value than is normally offered at the University. In many cases, such transfer credit may be counted toward degree requirements in place of the higher-value University course; however, such substitution is at the discretion of the student's academic dean.

 This is a course no longer offered at the University but still used in awarding transfer credit and still applicable toward certain degree requirements. For students in the School of Nursing, BIOL 2420, 2421, 2320, 2321, 2120, and 2121 transfer as retired microbiology courses.

 Courses offered to fulfill the legislative requirement in government are not uniform in content and sequencing among schools. GOVT 2301 and 2302 transfer as Government 310L and 312L; GOVT 2305 and 2306 transfer as generic credit. It is strongly recommended that students complete the required two-course sequence, either GOVT 2301 and 2302 or GOVT 2305 and 2306, at one institution.

 At most Texas community colleges, calculus-based physics is offered in a two-semester sequence represented by the TCCN designations PHYS 2425 (or 2325 and 2125) and 2426 (or 2326 and 2126), which transfer as indicated. However, a few community colleges add a third course, PHYS 2427. In such cases, PHYS 2425 may transfer as Physics 301 and 101L; PHYS 2426 may transfer as Physics 316 and 116L; and PHYS 2427 may transfer either as Physics 315 and 115L or as generic physics credit.

 For School of Architecture students, ARCH 1311 transfers as generic architecture credit and Architecture 308 must be taken in residence.
