Courses listed in this catalog are those Sandburg plans to offer. Inclusion of a course description does not obligate the College to offer the course in any particular semester. Students should review the appropriate class schedule each semester for specific and current course offerings.
Explanation of course listings
The first few letters, or course prefix, indicate the department in which the class is offered. A unique course number is assigned to each course offered. Courses numbered below 100 are considered developmental and those 100 or above are college level. Per the Sandburg Board Policies on the Sandburg website for lecture hours as follows:
“Sandburg uses the Carnegie unit as the basis for the credit hour. One semester credit equals 50 minutes of faculty instruction time per week for a minimum of 15 weeks along with a minimum of two hours of out-of-class student work each week during the semester for each credit hour. An equivalent amount of work is required for all forms of learning activities, such as online, blended, laboratory work, clinical practicum courses, internship courses and studio work. Courses with an approved accelerated schedule may have modified contact hour requirements.”
Lab hours per week refer to the normal number of 50 minute class meetings or equivalent for which the class meets in a laboratory setting each week during a 16-week semester.
Illinois Articulation Initiative (IAI) codes are included, where applicable, to indicate specific content areas for transferability. See Illinois Articulation Agreement (IAI) section in this academic catalog.
The number in parentheses indicates the academic level for which the course has been approved, based on the following:
1.1-Baccalaureate Transfer Course
1.2-Career and Technical Education (CTE) course not intended for transfer. Course may transfer subject to the transfer institution’s policy.
1.4, 1.6-Developmental courses and Vocational Skills not intended for transfer and not applicable to CTE Certificates or degrees.
