Papers are most often refered to by their final 3 digit code, eg, 201, 312, 103 etc etc.
The problem with this is that it assumes you know what school and department the paper is under. Normally WLUG members will be refering to Computer Science !
-Semesters can be A - First Semester, B - Second Semester, Y - Full year, S - Summer School
+Semesters can be A - First Semester, B - Second Semester, Y - Full year, S - Summer School (there are other semester codes, but they are not commonly used).
The new way (starting from 2003) has been simplified (must have confused the management students !)
The School and Department have been scrapped, and replaced with a 4 letter code
eg 0657.201Y now changes to COMP201Y

+While the course codes are somewhat simpler, the University now often refers to a paper using both a course (paper) code and an occurance code (which indicates year, semester and location) - Computer Science 123 for example, is taught as COMP123-05A(HAM), COMP123-05B(HAM) or COMP123-05S(HAM) in 2005.
