<b>All,</b><br>
You may have noticed that course numbers at Louisiana Tech have transitioned to a four-digit format in Workday. This change was made to align with UL System standards.</div>
<div class="elementToProof" style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em; font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
In the College of Business, the <b>fourth digit now reflects the number of credit hours</b> for the course. For example:</div>
<ul data-end="512" data-start="375">
<li style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>ECON 202</b> is now <b>ECON 2023</b>, indicating a three-hour course.</div>
</li><li style="font-family: Aptos, Aptos_EmbeddedFont, Aptos_MSFontService, Calibri, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 14pt; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">
<div style="margin-top: 1em; margin-bottom: 1em;"><b>BUSN 320</b> is now <b>BUSN 3201</b>, indicating a one-hour course.</div>
</li></ul>

All other course details remain unchanged.</div>
