Year and Term Identifier

The Office of the University Registrar uses a four-digit number to indicate the year and term of a course or registration or record.

  • The first digit represents the century (1=21st century). 
  • The next two digits represents the year (for example 16=2016). 
  • The last digit indicates the semester or term (8 = Fall, 1 = Spring, and 5 = Summer). 

For example, 1161 would represent Spring of 2016.
