Understanding Your Schedule

The Course Schedule lists important information you need in order to register, including each class offered with its time, location, instructor (if available) and unique number. Some changes have been made to the course schedule to encourage social distancing, a crucial strategy for a safe on-campus experience this academic year. Classes will be taught in a variety of formats this semester—face-to-face, hybrid (a blend of face-to-face and online), hyflex, and fully online. Below is an explanation of the column headings and abbreviations used in the listings.

• CRN
  • The Course Reference Number (CRN) is a unique 5 digit identifier assigned to a class for registration purposes.
• Course
  • The Course column includes the course subject, course number, and section number.  For example, HIST 1301-007 includes HIST as the subject, 1301 as the course number, and 007 as the section number.
• Title
  • An abbreviated title of the course.
• Campus
  • The campus where the course is taught. Main campus indicates the course is taught at Texas A&M University-San Antonio located at One University Way, San Antonio, Texas 78224.
• Credits
  • Credit hours are the number of semester hours attempted and/or granted for a course.
• Level
  • The Level indicates if a course is for undergraduate or graduate students.
• Start Date & End Date
  • The Start Date and End Date describes the earliest and latest class meeting dates for the section.
• Day
  • The abbreviations used for meeting days are provided below. Courses that do not list a meeting day are asynchronous and do not require scheduled meetings.

• Time
  • Classes begin and end at the hours stated. "TBA" indicates the time is to be arranged.
• Location
  • The location, usually an on-campus building and room, where the class will meet is listed here. If the location is "TBA", refer to the course comment below the section information or contact the department offering the course.

• The name of the primary instructor for the course.

• Instruction Method
  • Face-to-Face (F2F): Face-to-face courses are delivered through fully synchronous, in-person instruction in an assigned classroom for all students. The faculty member is in the classroom with all students for the regularly scheduled days/times.
  • Hybrid (HYB): Hybrid courses utilize both online and in-person experiences. A hybrid class is designed for the instructor and students to meet in person part of the time and online other times. Some hybrid courses will be delivered synchronously online in place of an in-person meeting.
  • HyFlex (HFX): HyFlex courses give students the option of attending sessions in the classroom, participating online, or doing both. Students can change their mode of attendance weekly or by topic, according to need or preference.
  • Online (OLC): An online class is a class designed with the assumption that all students will participate in the main class experience online. Material in these classes may be presented synchronously or asynchronously. Students should refer to the Location to determine if their class is synchronous or asynchronous.
    • Synchronous online classes (OLC-S): The class is taught online, and students are required to attend class at the scheduled time.
    • Asynchronous online classes (OLC-A): The class is taught online, and students are not required to attend class at a scheduled time. All scheduled meetings are optional. Assignments and participation are due at specific times.
• Section Comments
  • Section comments include important information related to the course and should be carefully reviewed.
• Prerequisites
  • Course(s), or other requirement, that a student must have taken prior to enrolling in a specific course.
