Course Numbering System

The Technical College System of Georgia applies a statewide system of coding for each approved course within a program. This system includes a four alpha prefix combined with a four digit number. The four digit number delineates the level of the course, as explained below:

Remedial courses 0090

Remedial courses will not be applied towards a student’s program of study and will not count in the hours required to meet graduation requirements. Some students may be required to complete remedial courses in order to enhance their knowledge in areas of reading, writing, math, or algebra to better prepare them for other general education core courses.

Degree courses: 1100 – 2999

Occupational courses
