Such a symbol can occur after the teaching range:
d - Days in a semester
h - Hours in a week
r - Hours in a year
s - Hours in a semester
t - Weeks in a semester
When none of these symbols are given, expected range of teaching is "hours in a week"
Other signs can occur next to the courses of the study programmes
! - course will not be implemented in the given academic year
+ - course will not be implemented, perhaps the next academic year
- - course is implemented for the last time

* - course has more prerequisites
