Following the EPPC Guidelines for Course Prefixes and Numbers, some units have taken this opportunity to reorganize the 4 digit number for some of their courses, e.g. HIST 3000 changed to HIST 3200.  The change to the 4 digit number will take effect now for fall ’16 classes.  (Please note that the switch to the two character prefix will be coming into effect in July 2016.)

For those units that did NOT change the 4 digit number for courses it offers:

We would like to alert you to two action items.  Please complete these by Wednesday, March 9, 2016:

• (1) Check your UNIFY course listings to ensure that any references to specific course numbers (for courses offered by other units) have the new course numbers updated, so that students have the correct information for the fall ’16 term.  Please pay particular attention to the following:
  • For any prerequisites, co-requisites, and course descriptions that refer to the old 4 digit number, update these references with the new 4 digit number.
  • If you have any questions regarding UNIFY, please contact Karen Jung at kf257@columbia.edu.

• (2)  If you make any reference to specific course numbers (for courses offered by other units) on your unit's website, please check if any course numbers to be updated in preparation for fall '16.  
  • For your information, a list of units that have made changes to their 4 digit numbers is provided below.  The specific list of courses with new 4 digit numbers which includes both the current course number as well as the new 4 digit number can be accessed here.

Please note that the Directory of Classes will go live on March 21 and the first day of registration for fall '16 is April 18.

Please do not hesitate to contact either Hazel May at hm2135@columbia.edu or Rose Razaghian at rr222@columbia.edu with any questions about this matter or if we can be of assistance.
