TCCNS Updates FAQs

Many UH courses have been revised for Fall 2021 to align with the Texas Common Course Numbering System ( TCCNS.org). The course content has not changed but course titles, subjects, numbers may look different when enrolling for Fall 2021. Undergraduate programs are working to update all resources typically used for degree planning to reflect these changes.

No. Enroll in courses as usual according to your academic map.

Yes:

  1. Check your Academic Map for your next term courses.
  2. Check those courses on the TCCNS course updates list to see whether there are any changes.
  3. Ask your advisor if you have questions.

Example course: If you need to take Calculus 1 this summer or fall, if you enroll in the class for the summer it will look the same, if you enroll in the class for the fall it will have the new course information.

Summer 2021 Fall 2021
MATH 1431 Calculus I MATH 2413 Calculus I

Many courses have changed subject prefix, number, and title for Fall 2021. See the TCCNS course updates list for all the TCCNS related course revisions.

For Fall 2021 registration, you will need to search for the course under the new subject.

Example:

Summer 2021 Fall 2021
ARTH 1380 Art and Society ARTS 1303 Art History I
ASLI 1301 Elementary Sign Language I SGNL 1301 Elementary Sign Language I
DAN 2307 Introduction to Dance DANC 2303 Introduction to Dance
SOC 1300 Introduction to Sociology SOCI 1300 Introduction to Sociology
THEA 1311 Introduction to Theatre DRAM 1310 Introduction to Theatre

A few programs have changed the subject prefix for ALL of their courses. For Fall 2021 registration, you will need to search for related courses under the new subject prefix.

There should be no impact to your current degree plan.

Resources that you typically use for academic planning such as the degree progress report (DPR), UHin4 maps, and college specific resources will be updated to reflect the new course numbers for Fall 2021. If your degree progress report (DPR) lists the current course number, the new number will also populate correctly into each requirement. A few courses have changed level between lower and advanced upper division. If you have already completed a course, it will continue to be reflected in your degree progress report. For concerns, please check with the academic advisor for your major.

Yes. If the course is an approved Core course for Fall 2021 it will still satisfy your Core requirements under the new subject prefix/number/title. See the UH Core list for more information for approved Core courses.
No. Course credit previously awarded under old course titles and numbers will remain intact on your transcript.
To align with the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS.org) and ease transfer for students majoring under Texas Field of Study approved programs.
