+ | The first digit indicates which year the class is typically taken in. Course numbers in the form 1XXX are generally freshman classes, 2XXX are generally classes that build on freshman classes, 3XXX classes go into specific major material, and 4XXX classes are generally high level technical classes. Transfer courses on the transfer equivalency table listed as 1XXX, 2XXX, etc. may be used as free electives. |
Subsequent digits indicate other information about a course, such as if it is a course reserved for special topics. A more comprehensive [https://registrar.gatech.edu/files/course-numbering-system.pdf guide] to course numbering is provided by the Registrar. |

β | Registration holds prevent students from adding and dropping classes during their time ticket. To view registration holds, go to "Registration Status" in OSCAR, select the applicable term, and click "View Holds" at the bottom of the page. If any holds are present, students must complete the given steps or contact the department that gave the hold to clear it. If no holds are present for a student, then they may register for classes during their time ticket.<ref name=":02">https://registrar.gatech.edu/registration/holds</ref> |

+ | A prerequisite chain is a series of courses that must be taken one after another due to prerequisite restrictions on those courses. For example, a common prerequisite chain for most engineering majors is PHYS 2211 to PHYS 2212 to [[ECE 3710]] to [[ECE 3741]]. PHYS 2211 must be taken before PHYS 2212, PHYS 2212 must be taken before ECE 3710, etc. |
Many majors have particular prerequisite chains that are important to complete as early as possible to graduate on time. For example, [[Electrical Engineering|electrical engineering]] majors should take [[ECE 2040]] and its prerequisites as early as possible. For more information about prerequisite chains in a particular major, consult that major's respective wiki page. |
