The various disciplines and the courses which they offer are pre-sented in alphabetical order.

The course numbers are designated by four digits.

First Digit designates the level of the course:

Second and Third Digits designate the particular course in the Department, Division or Faculty.

Fourth Digit designates the duration of the course:

Departments may assign specific meanings to these digits; consult the departmental listings.

Students should consult the official Web Timetable (www.unb.ca/schedules/TimeTable.htm) to find when courses are offered in a particular year and when they are scheduled. Not all courses listed are given every year.
