Nuts & Bolts Information
Kilgore College uses the Texas Common Course Numbering System (TCCNS).
The first digit in a course number indicates the level (developmental-0, freshman-1, sophomore-2), while the second digit represents the number of credits for that class.
MATH 0308 (developmental math, 3 credits)
ENGL 1301 (freshman level English, 3 credits)
BIOL 2401 (sophomore level biology, 4 credits)
Note: For science courses with labs, do not count the additional credits for the lab. Lab grades are usually averaged with lecture grades. Science Lecture and lab courses must be taken during the same semester.
CHEM 1411 (freshman level chemistry, 4 credits)
CHEM 1411L (freshman level chemistry lab, 0 additional credits)
Full-time status is 12 or more credits (sometimes called “credit hours,” “hours,” or “semester hours”). Students may need to have full-time status to stay on parents’ hospitalization insurance or to get maximum benefit from financial aid.
To complete 60+ credits of freshman/sophomore course work in 2 years, students need to take 15 or more hours each fall and spring semester. Students can take fewer hours in the fall/spring semesters and still complete lower division course work in 2 years if they take some courses during summer or mini sessions.
