Facebook Pixel Course Information Component | Western Kentucky University

Course Information Component


The Course Information component gets the most up to date details about a course from the WKU Course Catalog to place on your site. Details include the subject code, course number, hours, details, and semesters offered if available. These components can placed anywhere on your page, but they work especially well in the main column content area or snippets like modals, cards, or accordions. Adding multiple course components to a single page can negatively affect load times. For displaying information about a program, see the Program Information Component.

 

Component Fields


Subject Code

A subject code is two to four letters that identifies the department or program offering the course. Departments and programs may have more than one subject code.
Ex. ENG, ENGL, GEOG, or ACCT

 

Course Code

A course code or course number is the group of numbers (and sometimes letters to designate sections) for a specific course in a program or department.
Ex. 101, 200, or 450G
