Names

Grade-Specific Courses

Courses that are restricted to a particular grade or set of grades, or which can be cross-listed in another subject, should receive a prefix of their subject and grade level, separated by a colon.

Seminar 10: Systems Thinking

If the course is both specific to a particular grade and also part of a recurring course type (i.e. Exhibition of Learning), the name of the recurring course should be prioritized, followed by the course grade and separated by a colon.

When a course is offered as part of a collection of other advanced courses within a specific subject, the abbreviation given to that collection should be appended as a prefix and separated by a colon. The word "Advanced" should still appear before the course name, after the colon.
