Common course prefixes, numbers, titles, descriptions, outlines, and credit hours have been developed to ensure consistency across institutions in lower-level courses that are offered at many institutions across the University System of Georgia and to facilitate and enhance transfer processes. When a course is listed as a common course, institutions are required to use the specified course prefix, number, title, description, outline, and credit hours. Requests for exceptions must be approved by the Council on General Education and the Executive Vice Chancellor/Chief Academic Officer. In some cases, institutions may feel that the specified common course description is too scant. Institutions may add to the common course description, as long as the institutional course description starts with the published common course description. The following are common course prefixes, numbers, titles, and descriptions that all institutions shall use for their programs of study.
