6. What is C-ID? • Faculty-driven system • Assigns numbers to transfer courses • Each C-ID number identifies a lower-division, transferable course commonly articulated between the CCC and CSU/UC • C-ID number ties a course to a specific course “descriptor” that was developed by intersegmental discipline faculty and reviewed statewide. • C-ID descriptor also provides information for ongoing curriculum development and revision of lower division courses. • Individual college courses are compared to the minimum requirements set by these descriptors. Any community college course that bears the C-ID supranumber conveys that faculty have determined it meets the published course content, rigor, and student learning outcomes. • Any other course elsewhere, bearing the same number will be accepted by the institution.  • 346 approved descriptors and 28 draft descriptors (c-id.net)

7. “Transfer Model Curriculum” • Appropriate courses for an associate degree (CCC) and • Preparation for transfer (CSU) • “Double-counting” encouraged • 60 units total including GE
