Hi Erik,
If it's a minimal change like a revised title or even a change in credits, we still use the same course number. Our system (Colleague) preserves the course title at the time a student registers, so with these smaller changes we don't have to worry that the title or credits are going to be changed retroactively on a transcript. We're probably a bit more lenient with curricular changes in general at Carroll, but if we created a new course number every time a department wanted to alter a title we'd run out of numbers very quickly!
Best,
Cassie

Subject: Course revisions
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for insight in how other institutions handle minor course revisions. For example, when a course title or description is changed without any revisions to the content of the course, is it common practise to always generate a new course number or are changes made reusing the old course number?
We are working on clarifying our policy while being mindful of the limitations within our existing course numbering system.
Any thoughts are much appreciated.
Best,
