Course Lettering

• The letter following the number in a course means
  its part of a sequence (ex. ARTS 2A,2B,2C). You
  may or may not be able to take courses out of

• Example EWRT 200 211, READ 200, 211, ESL
  251,252,253, MATH 210,212,114
• You may choose to take them for P/NP instead of
  a letter grade
• You need to request to take them for P/NP to
  avoid compromising your overall GPA
• Courses numbered 200 and above are non degree
  applicable (ex. Math 212, ESL 200)
