UTSA is a participant in the Texas Common Course Numbering (TCCN) System. A standard set of four-character abbreviations for academic disciplines and four-digit course numbers, this system aids in the transfer of lower-division academic courses among colleges and universities in Texas. The first digit of the number represents the academic level of the course (0 for subfreshman, 1 for freshman, and 2 for sophomore); the second represents the semester credit hours value of the course. Most community colleges in Texas have adopted TCCN as their course numbering system; others cross-reference their courses with TCCN.
The table below lists TCCN course designation and their UTSA equivalents. UTSA courses are designated by four-digit numbers following a two- or three-letter abbreviation of the academic discipline. The first digit indicates the level of the course (0 are developmental education courses, 1 and 2 are lower-division). The second and third digits are used within the colleges by each department to distinguish individual courses. The fourth digit indicates the semester-credit-hour value of each course.
Credit for any single Texas Common Course Number (TCCN) can only be transferred as a single UTSA course.
