Issued codes (0)

No codes issued yet. Existing programme codes were kept as they were and are treated as taken.

How this worksShow
  • prefixes BBA, DBA, DIP and MBA, widths and counters are examples, not an approved WOU identifier convention.
  • A number is issued only when a programme is actually created. Cancelled or invalid forms use nothing. Existing codes are never renumbered and issued codes are never reused (case-insensitive check across all programmes, including Archived).
  • Once a prefix has issued codes, its prefix, separator and width are locked; the counter can only move forward with a recorded reason.
  • Browser-only limit: the code is rechecked against the latest saved data right before creation (including other tabs), but two tabs creating at the same instant cannot be made fully atomic without a server.
