It is best practice to have course subject or course number changes finalized before the Offerings Planner closes to edits. For example, fall 2025 revisions should be complete by November 5, 2024.

If a department wants to establish a new course subject acronym, a request must be placed a year in advance with written approval from the collegiate Dean.

If a course is cross-referenced, the administrative home course number should reflect the academic unit that will manage the course.

Revisions to this field should be finalized before the course appears in MyUI for the effective session of the change.

Enter other subject/course number(s) that are valid for this course, if applicable. A cross reference is another new identity for this course. Any cross-referenced course must be at the same thousand-level as the Admin Home course (unless one of the numbers is in a Professional college), cannot be a course that already exists, and cannot have the same subject key as the admin home course.

Whenever the course is offered, all cross-referenced course numbers must be available for enrollment.

The administrative home should submit all course library requests. When dropping or revising a cross-referenced course, it is the administrative home department's responsibility to communicate with the other departments.

For a side-by-side comparison of co-existing sections and cross-referenced courses, see the Co-Existing Sections and Cross-Referenced Course Comparison page.

• Whether it is required for certain majors
• Registration information
• Grading information

This description may be edited by the General Catalog team to comply with style guidelines or catalog software requirements.
