Which Session is a Course In?

Our updated Summer section codes give a quick snapshot of each course's dates and location in just 3 characters. When looking up class information in Banner 9, the "Section" column appears between the Course Number and Hours (credits) by default. 

• The first character indicates the session (1 or 2).
• The second character indicates the campus (B, W, or O). 
• The third character identifies the section number; the default is 1. Each additional section of a course will have the next consecutive number. (If there are two sections of an online course in Session I, they will be 1O1 and 1O2, respectively. If a third section is added, it will be 1O3.)
• You can sort the course list in Banner 9 Self-Service by section code. Sorting alphabetically will display Session I courses first; reverse alphabetical sorting will show Session II first.

Changes may be made to the schedule periodically, so please check for updates.
