Course and Section Numbering

Jump to a section

Course Numbers (Catalog Numbers)

Courses at Marquette are assigned a catalog number and the number indicates the education level of the course as specified by the course numbering policy.

Course Section Numbers

Regular daytime courses: those beginning before 4 p.m. and are not Honors, have section numbers between 101 and 399.

Evening courses (those beginning at 4 p.m. or later), have section numbers between 701 and 769.

Professional Studies courses (undergrad only), have section numbers between 801 and 899. At present theses section numbers are no longer being used.

Honors courses have section numbers between 901 and 999.

Sections for components that are no longer valid must be changed to the new component for the class (e.g., if the catalog formerly defined a course's component as lecture but now defines it as seminar, the lecture component class sections will need to be changed to the SEM component in the Schedule of Classes.)

Section number changes

Note: Because this is an optional change and is the choice of the college to change section numbers after students are registered, do not disadvantage students who have already registered and ask them 'to re-enroll' for a new section. It is now the responsibility of the college to manually re-register students into these changed sections and notify the students of the change.
