  24. Shared Unique Number (SUN) System • Comprised of 69 AGEC and common major courses • The SUN System officially launches in January 2012 but most institutions have already incorporated SUN in their catalogs and websites • A SUN website was created to share information as the system developed This SUN numbering icon is used to denote SUN courses in college catalogs and on websites
