From October 2010 semester onwards, the University has switched to a
new course code format, which is more meaningful as the new code carries a
'subject' to indicate the area of academic discipline.
Example of course code change:
Current course code:
EC231
New course code: ECON A231 (effective from the beginning of the October
2010 semester)

ECON
represents the subject Economics.
Please refer to the list
of subject codes. |

In this example, A represents
the School of Arts and Social Sciences, and the first number,

Some course codes have a suffix letter — B,C,W,F. The suffix
letter will remain unchanged in the new course code format.
