How to Read a Credit Counselling Summary
Decoding Course Codes
Courses use a 6 character course code. The first 5 characters of the course code are set out by the Ontario Ministry of Education. The 6th character is a school indicator used to distinguish course characteristics (e.g., number of courses, specialized programs). Take a look at the example below to understand your course codes.

PURPOSE
