Courses designated as "equivalent" have been judged to have highly similar content such that two campuses treat the classes as essentially the same class. However a designation of equivalency does not mean the two courses will satisfy the same requirements at different campuses. For instance, two courses may be designated as equivalent but only one of those courses has also been approved to be a Writing Intensive course with an additional instructional focus on writing.
We have a glossary to explain some of the acronyms you might see.
