This view captures the valid list of Nebraska courses. In order to support the exchange of both current year information as well as student transcripts, courses from current and past years are included. The layout includes the State Course Code, Academic State Course Title, and Description, along with the HS Course Requirement indicator and the number of Course Parts.
