24. Potential Course Status • In Progress • Your course is currently being reviewed. • Approved • Your course has been approved and has received C-ID designation. • Conditional • Your course is temporarily done with the review process; it must be resubmitted with requested modifications in order to be awarded with the requested C-ID designation. You have one year to complete this re-submission. • Example – The textbooks were too old and must be updated. • Not Approved • The reviewers are done with the review and the course was not awarded with the requested C-ID designation. • Re-Submitted • You have made changes requested by the reviewers after a conditional approval and have re-submitted the course outline.

25. C-ID Approved Courses • A list of approved courses for all colleges is available on the C-ID website at http://c-id.net/course_compare.html • C-ID designations will appear in ASSIST beginning spring 2012

26. TIPS • Make sure the courses you submit are appropriate for the C-ID descriptors • Example: Do not submit a lab course for a lecture course, a physical science course for an environmental science course, etc. • Where course outlines are obviously inappropriate (i.e. lecture only course submitted for a combined lab/lecture course) reviewers will deem the course outline “not approved” for C-ID designation. You will then need to begin the process again with the correct outline. • If a course outline attachment becomes corrupted, or a link is no longer available, you will be contacted by C-ID Staff to rectify the situation. Your course will not move through the C-ID review process until you have addressed the problem. • Articulation Officers have their own page on the C-ID website. Just click on the Art. Officers tab. Here you will find links to: monthly updates, a 4-year descriptor-based articulation matrix which is updated twice a month, and the CSU LDTP Descriptor Comparison. Additionally, contact information for the C-ID Articulation Officer Liaison, Pam Brown Schachter (pam@c-id.net), can be found on this page.

27. REMEMBER... When your college submits a course for C-ID designation, you are agreeing to accept that C-ID course from another college in lieu of your native course (intrasegmental articulation).
