The three to five-character standard abbreviation for a program or department must receive prior approval from the Scheduling Director four (4) weeks prior to the opening of the Course Consent cycle.

A department/program seeking a new course prefix must fill out a Course Subject Curriculum Form, submit it to their college for review/approval and have it forwarded to the Scheduling Office for inclusion in the next curriculum cycle. The new prefix will become effective the fall semester after the current Course Consent cycle. There must be a single specific department under which all courses bearing the designation will be administered. If appropriate, the department may be a college office.
