Students are encouraged to become familiar with the course elements included in a course description. Please see "How to Read Course Descriptions". The courses that follow are offered at Chandler- Gilbert Community College (CGCC). Not all courses in this section will necessarily be offered during any given school year. Not all courses listed in the required courses and/or restricted elective areas of shared occupational programs are offered at CGCC. Please check the current class schedule for course availability. The intent of the Course Description section is to enable students to review courses that are available at CGCC. How to Read Course Descriptions All courses offered at the Maricopa Community Colleges are identified by a three-letter abbreviation of the academic subject plus a three-digit number (e.g., ENG101 identifies an English course). Course descriptions are listed alphabetically and in ascending numerical order. Each course listing has six common elements: 1. Course Prefix: Three-letter subject code abbreviation indicating discipline or area of study (e.g., ENG for English). 2. Course Number: Three-digit number assigned to indicate sequence and academic level. Numbers range from 001- 299. Courses numbered below 100 are offered for the purpose of strengthening skills and knowledge and cannot be applied toward degrees awarded by Maricopa Community Colleges. These courses cannot be transferred to four- year institutions. First-year courses are generally identified with 100-level numbers. Second-year courses are generally identified with 200-level numbers. 3. Course Title: Identifying name of the course. May also indicate course level (e.g., College Mathematics or Beginning Spanish Conversation I). 4. Course Description: Brief statement describing the content of the course. Each instructor's course syllabus gives additional information, including objectives and grading criteria. 5. Course Credit Hours: College credit hours awarded for satisfactory completion of the course. 6. Course Prerequisites and/or Corequisites: Requirements that must be met before or, in the case of corequisites, at the same time as enrollment in a course. Not all courses have prerequisites or corequisites. 7. Shared Unique Number (SUN) System: The Shared Unique Number (SUN) System is a college course numbering system designed to help students locate and enroll in courses that have direct equivalents for transfer among Arizona's public community colleges and three state universities.
