Important note regarding when courses are offered:

Term notations of Summer, Preterm, Fall, Interterm, Spring, or Post-term mean that the course is offered during that term every year. When a term notation is followed by odd or even, then the course is offered during that term only in odd or even years, respectively. For example, a course that meets Summer, Fall odd will meet every summer (e.g. 2007, 2008), but only during the fall semester of odd years (e.g. 2007, not 2008). A course that meets Summer even, Spring odd, will meet summer 2008, 2010, and spring 2009, 2011.

Courses that do not have a term notation are modules (e.g. DM and MM) or offered uncertain times. “DL” means distance learning.

The number of semester credit hours for a course is shown in parentheses following the title.
