Letters Preceding Course Numbers
- The letters preceding a course number indicate the University of California campus at which there is an equivalent course. For example, XR denotes Riverside, XL denotes Los Angeles, etc.
- The letter C following any of these designations (e.g. XRC) indicates a concurrent course (campus regular session course in which UCR Extension students may concurrently enroll).
- X alone, or XCal, indicates a course offered only through University Extension. Note, however, that X100 series courses are structured in accordance with requirements for campus upper-division-level courses.
-
A capital letter after a course number indicates the quarter portion of a course that continues through two or more successive quarters.
