Course Reference Number

Course Reference Number

A Course Reference Number, often abbreviated CRN, is a unique identifier assigned to a specific class section at an educational institution. This is in contrast to a course number, which follows other conventions and is used to refer to the course itself, instead of a specific section of the course. CRNs are used during the registration process to identify the section of a course the student wishes to register for.

Example

The hypothetical number 12345 might refer to Professor Smith's 3-credit "Introduction to Psychology" course that meets Monday, Wednesday, Friday from 10am-11am during the 2008 Fall term at some university.[1][2]
