Coding mechanism
Three codes, one grammar. Each is read left to right from the widest unit to the narrowest, and each level keeps the digits of the level above it.
AHU11245 is the fifth module of semester five, taught by Business Administration in the College of Administration and Economics.
Semester blocks
Inside the module pair, the first digit carries the semester and the second the order within it. XXX stands for the college and department digits.
| Semester | Numbering starts at |
|---|---|
| SEM1 | AHUXXX01 |
| SEM2 | AHUXXX11 |
| SEM3 | AHUXXX21 |
| SEM4 | AHUXXX31 |
| SEM5 | AHUXXX41 |
| SEM6 | AHUXXX51 |
| SEM7 | AHUXXX61 |
| SEM8 | AHUXXX71 |
| SEM9 | AHUXXX81 |
| SEM10 | AHUXXX91 |
Foundation modules
Ministry modules taught in every college. They keep their national code and are never renumbered into an AHU block.
