UACCM | Course Description

UACCM courses are identified by a code containing letters which indicate the department and numbers which indicate sequencing within the department. The last number indicates credit hours received for the course. Developmental classes, while providing credit and being included in the computation of the semester grade point average, do not count toward graduation for either a certificate or degree.
