Each course description has designations indicating during which semester and on which campus (Jamestown - J, Cattaraugus County Campus - C, and Online) the college intends to offer the course.
Certain courses do not have a designation indicating which semester they are offered. These courses may or may not be offered on the specified campus(es). The college reserves the right to cancel course offerings if enrollment is insufficient.
Course Numbering
Credit hours to be earned in each course are shown following the course title. Course numbers are designated as: 0000-0999 - imputed and developmental courses, 1000-1999 - freshman level courses, and 2000-2999 - sophomore level courses.
