Course Renumbering

Effective with the 2019 Fall term, all undergraduate and graduate courses at Benedictine University will be renumbered from three-digits to four-digits. Subject codes will remain as a three-, four-, and six-letter system. Most of the new four-digit course numbers will be similar to the previous three-digit numbers. In some cases, they may be different due to academic departments resequencing their course numbers or course levels.

The goal of the re-numbering is to create a system that will more accurately reflect the course levels and allow for course sequencing and standardized numbers.

The 2019-2020 Course Catalog has been updated to reflect the course renumbering.
