Both the course code and branch code are written in your course schedules. When you are placed in a class after taking the exemption/proficiency exam, the branch name of this class is shown as PREP A, PREP B, and PREP C. These numbers do not represent a physical environment, they are just your branch code. The codes written as HAZ 101, HAZ 102 are your course codes.
