A bit more about Common Core credits...

The summer CCST9003 is for those who have taken less than 24 credits of Common Core courses in semesters 1 and 2 this year, and wish to take another course in the STL AoI for the purpose of fulfilling the UG5 graduation requirements on the Common Core.

Please also note that CCST9003, CCST9004 and CCST9015 is a non-permissible combination.
