COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
COURSE NUMBERS, TRANSFER IDENTIFICATION AND
COMMON COURSE NUMBERING SYSTEM
Trinity Valley Community College participates in the Texas Common Course
Numbering System which is designed to assist students who are transferring
between institutions within the system. Each course is assigned an alphabetic prefix
which specifies the department offering the course as well as a four-digit number.
The first of four digits identifies the academic level of the course. Freshman, or first-
year, courses are designated by a 1; whereas, sophomore, or second- year, courses
are designated by a 2. The second digit specifies the number of semester credit
hours awarded for completion of the course. The third and fourth digits establish
course sequence within a program area.
Each TVCC course also has three numbers in parentheses following the course title.
The first number indicates the number of credit hours for the course, the second
number indicates the number of lecture hours which the course meets each week
and the third number indicates the number of lab hours which the course meets
each week. For example, (3-3-2) indicates a three semester credit hour course
which meets for three lecture hours and two laboratory hours each week.
Developmental studies courses are an exception to this designation. They carry no
semester hour credit and cannot be used for graduation purposes.
For more information about the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCN)
or for a listing of participating institutions, contact the office of the vice president of
instruction or the Advising Center.
Courses taught by internet or interactive television have an additional distance
learning fee of $35 per course.
The standard lab fee is $35 per course. Some designated courses with labs assess
fees higher than $35. Refer to the course descriptions that follow for the standard
and designated lab fees.
