What is a course code string?
When you request online services for your courses, you may be asked to provide the complete course code string. This code represents a specific offering of a course in a specific academic year. You can get codes for any official grouping of a course: lecture, seminar, tutorial, lab, etc.
The code looks like this.
2004_AK_ADMS_W_1000__3_X_EN_A_LECT_01
The spaces in the code are replaced with underscores so that it can be used by web applications like YQuiz.
