Reserved Course Numbers "Bag numbers"
(list revised in accordance with common course numbering 2/9/10)

 Course evaluation/approval for courses with "Bag numbers" x90-x99

Some courses that cover research, special topics, seminars, experimental courses, etc., are assigned numbers in the x90's (see table x.).  Some of these courses that are perennially offered and/or have a standard format each time they are offered are subject to review by ASCRC.  These include x93 "study tours/ study abroad" courses, x96 "service learning" courses, x97 "educational methods" courses, and x99 "capstone" courses.  Proposed courses with these numbers should be submitted for approval by ASCRC exactly as courses that do not have numbers in the x90's.

Other courses with the x90's rubrics are variable, experimental, or so specifically tailored each time they are offered that they are not subject to standard review by ASCRC.  These courses include x90 "research" courses, x91 "special topics/ experimental courses", x92 "independent study", x94 "seminar/ workshop" courses, x95 "field work/ clinical/ practicum/ student teaching" courses,  x98 "internship/ externship/ cooperative education" courses.  Courses with these numbers can be requested by departments and are assigned automatically by the Registrar.
