Does the institution formally designate sustainability courses in its standard course catalog or listings?:
Yes

A brief description of the formal sustainability course designation program, including the methodology used to identify and approve courses for inclusion:
Sustainability courses are prefixed with an ‘S’ in the online course catalogue as a note for each S-related class section. The public can readily identify which courses are S-related and can seek out those class sections for any subject area for this they wish to enroll. As a student/general public clicks on the section note in the online schedule, they will link into the green academics webpage. A listing of s-coded courses is available to students in their portal site. Additionally, the college maintains a database of S-related course applications, including rationale for approval, date of approval, and whether the course was approved only for specific instructors or all instructors. The Academic Sustainability Officer reviews course offerings each semester and compares it to the master list of S-related courses to confirm courses are correctly identified in the online course schedule.
