If you want to know what the codes are that a given course has or had when you took it, you can go to the schedule of courses and, after finding the course you're looking for, place the cursor over the "info" button and a box will appear in which the codes for that course are listed.  Note: course codes are attributes of a course.  If the codes change over time, the codes that apply to you are those in place when you took the course.  Moreover, codes cannot be changed retroactively or during the semester in which you are taking the course.
