What are course codes?

Course codes allow institutions to assign a unique identifier to each course for easier identification and management.

Course code requirements

Course codes must:

• Be unique within the same institution

• Start with a letter or number

• Contain only:

  • Letters

  • Numbers

  • Underscores (_)

  • Hyphens (-)

• Be 255 characters or fewer

• Not contain spaces or special characters

Example: BUS101, ENG-INTRO_2026

Step 2

Click the Edit button.

Reassign a course code

A course code can belong to only one course within an institution. If you are the Course Administrator of multiple courses, you can reuse a course code by assigning it to another course.

When reassigned:

• The code is automatically removed from the original course.

• The code is applied to the new course.
