4.1 as a printed constituent of the standard education material for the course and/or as part of the material issued to, or required to be purchased by students enrolled in the course;
4.2 electronically, using the Web and/or internet, provided that all students enrolled in the course are informed through other means of how to retrieve the information.

5. It is the responsibility of each Head of Program to ensure that all of the course syllabi for which they are responsible are accurate and up to date. Any changes to course syllabi made after the first day of the term are subject to the same regulations for approval and notification as stated above.

6. The course numbering system will be alphanumeric, with a three letter alpha code representing subject area and a three digit numeric code with the first digit of that code allocated in accordance with the following to generally indicate the level of difficulty.

6.1 Courses designed for use in the Degree Foundation program will have a first digit of 1.
6.2.1 Courses that are designed for use in the undergraduate Bachelor of Business Administration program and require no prerequisite study will have a first digit of 2. Typically, these courses will be in the first or second semester of the undergraduate program.
6.2.2 Courses that require pre-requisite study and are typically found in the third, or fourth semester of the undergraduate program will have a first digit of 3. These courses will usually have level 1 and/or 2 courses as prerequisites.

For example, if a course can be used in the Degree Foundation program and the Bachelors of Business Administration program, it should have a first digit of 1 not 2.
Faculties are to assess the levels of courses offered by them according to the above system and to change the course number if the objectives or content of a course changes to the extent that the changed course differs significantly from the original one.
