A. The first number after the course title indicates total number of credits; the following number indicates lecture hours per week and the final number indicates laboratory/studio practice hours per week (example: 3-3-0 indicates a 3-credit course that consists of 3 hours of lecture; 3-2-2 indicates a 3-credit course that consists of 2 hours of lecture and 2 hours of laboratory/studio practice). If there are any reasons that must be calculated per semester it can be indicated by using bracket (example: 3-(30)-(0)/credit(s)-(total hours of lecture per semester)-(total hours of laboratory/studio practice per semester)).
B. The course without credit is not permitted.
In principle, required major courses must be indicated with an asterisk (*) to the right of their respective course numbers. However, when designating particular courses as requisites, relevant departments/divisions must indicate the requisite status of these courses in their respective course regulations, as in the following examples:
<Example> ① Addition of an asterisk to the right of course numbers like in 103.205* and 104.305* ② Must take one of the following three courses: 400.013 Introduction to Mechanical Engineering, 400.015 Introduction to Industrial Engineering, and 400.019A Introduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering
When it is necessary to change the contents of particular graduate courses per semester/academic year, such courses are designated as group II courses and indicated with a star (★) to the left of their respective course numbers.
When courses classified as group II courses are offered, they use the same course numbers and titles as their non-group II counterparts but may be assigned different subtitles. Depending on the content of relevant courses, subtitles may change each time courses are offered. Students may retake courses with identical course numbers and titles as long as they differ in their respective subtitles, which are considered as separate courses.
<Example> ★ 101.672 Seminar in Classical Korean Poetry 3－3－0 has been offered under the following subtitles:
as 101.672 Seminar in Classical Korean Poetry (Kasa) 3－3－0 during the second semester of 1996;
as 101.672 Seminar in Classical Korean Poetry (Classical Poets) 3－3－0 during the second semester of 1997;
