What is a crn?

[Samuel]

Hi everyone,
I keep coming across the term CRN, but it seems to have different meanings depending on the context. In some places, it’s related to banking or tax identification; in others, it’s mentioned in education or healthcare. Can someone explain what CRN stands for and how it’s commonly used? I’d appreciate a simple breakdown of the most common meanings (like in finance, medical records, or college course registration).

A CRN is a distinct identifier that can have various meanings based on the context, for instance, Company Registration Number, Course Reference Number, or Customer Reference Number.

A CRN usually stands for Course Reference Number.
It’s a unique code colleges and universities use to identify a specific class section when you register for courses.

A CRN (Customer Reference Number or Company Registration Number) is a unique identifier assigned by an organisation or government body. In business, it refers to the number issued when a company is registered. In banking or utilities, it helps track payments or accounts. Its meaning varies depending on the sector using it.
