Course Renumbering
 

A significant number of courses have been renumbered as part of the State University of New York’s policies which promote student mobility, through transfer of academic credit, to other SUNY institutions. All courses should be numbered at the 100-200 levels.  This listing references the course with its Old and New numbers which should aid students in their choice of courses to complete academic program requirements and faculty in their role as academic advisor.
