All of the University’s courses are classified into three categories, i.e., lower level, middle level, or higher level. Lower-level courses are basic, introductory, or foundation courses designed for freshmen. Middle-level courses may require knowledge of previous study or a certain amount of intellectual maturity. Higher-level courses are specialized courses usually designed for those majoring in a particular discipline.
The course level is indicated by the first digit of the course code, i.e., lower-level courses are indicated by the code 1XX/XX, middle-level courses by 2XX/XX, and higher-level courses by 3XX/XX. The 2 digits after the slash indicate the credit value of the course. i.e., TEE101/03 is a lower level course of 3 credits while TEL309/10 is a higher-level course of 10 credits.
