The department shall develop rules for the administration of the system.
(b) Each public institution of higher education shall include in its course catalog the applicable course prefix and numbers from the common course numbering system approved by the board under this section. The board may, for good cause as determined by the board, grant a public institution of higher education an exemption from the requirements of this section.
