Colleges or departments may propose new course prefixes through appropriate channels to the provost and senior vice president for academic affairs.  It is assumed that the prefix will convey desirable information.  New prefixes by the departments may be instituted only if they will be applied to at least 9 credits of course work.

All courses taken toward fulfilling requirements for an associate degree and/or individual courses offered for credit at community colleges only will have an OE (Occupational Education) designation.  The third and fourth letters will designate the area in occupational education (e.g., WU, Water Utilities; MM, Mid-Management).
