  1. Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) Discipline Input Group Meetings (DIGs) October 7 and 8, 2010 Jane Patton President, ASCCC Michelle Pilati C-ID Faculty Coordinator Vice President, ASCCC

  2. Welcome and Overview • Overview of C-ID • Legislative Background • C-ID’s Goals • DIG Activities • Senate Bill 1440

  3. What is C-ID? A proposal to replace and expand CAN • a supra-numbering system • a response to mandates & needs • a published set of course descriptors for use by postsecondary institutions and CCC students, faculty, and counselors

  4. C-ID Descriptors • Identify the essential common components of a course • Detailed enough to serve as the basis for articulation • Inform course updates • Permit identification of comparable courses

  5. What is C-ID? • Intersegmental • Faculty-driven • Voluntary

  6. C-ID Process • Develop descriptors • Review draft descriptors • www.c-id.net • DIG • Finalize descriptors • Seek articulation with universities • Seek CoR submissions from CCCs

  7. C-ID Provides: • A non-invasive approach to “common course numbering” • Simplifies movement between CCCs • A centralized approach to articulation

  8. Legislative Background • SB 1415 (2004) • “Existing law requires the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges to develop, maintain, and disseminate a general common course numbering system for use by community college districts.”

  9. SB 1415 • “.. build upon existing programs and activities, such as the existing California Articulation Number (CAN) system, the Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated Curriculum (IMPAC) Project, the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (IGETC), and the Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer (ASSIST).”

  10. C-ID Goals • Goal 1: Secure the commitment of faculty representing the CCC, CSU, UC, and AICCU member institutions to participate in the organizational infrastructure that supports a common course numbering system and determines its long-term sustainability. • Goal 2: Design, develop and prepare for implementation and use by all segments an overarching common numbering system. • Goal 3: Create and maintain a web portal for public and internal use.

  11. DIGs • Review existing draft descriptors and integrate feedback • Review and modify, as needed, existing TCSU descriptors • Identify – and possibly develop – other needed descriptors • Discuss degrees

  12. Senate Bill 1440 • Describes the elements of an “associate degree for transfer” • Offers certain assurances to students • Implementation details have yet to be determined

  13. Implementing SB 1440 • Rather than have 112 colleges develop separate responses to the bill, we are urging a concerted, statewide response in the form of a model curriculum which will have benefits for our students, our colleges and universities.

  14. Establishes requirements for an “associate degree for transfer” • To earn an “associate degree for transfer” a student must complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the CSU that consist of: • IGETC or CSU GE Breadth • a major or area of emphasis of at least 18 units, as defined by the CCC • No additional local graduation requirements may be required • Minimum GPA of 2.0 is required

  15. If a student completes an ”associate degree for transfer” • “the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status” • “Admission to the CSU, as provided under this article, does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses” • “the CSU shall grant a student priority admission to his or her local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar to his or her CC major or area of emphasis, as determined by the CSU campus to which the student is admitted”

  16. Once a student completes an “associate degree for transfer” and is at the CSU: “The CSU may require a student transferring pursuant to this article to take additional courses at the CSU so long as the student is not required to take any more than 60 additional semester units or 90 quarter units at the CSU for majors requiring 120 semester units or 180 quarter units.”

  17. Once a student completes an “associate degree for transfer” and is at the CSU: “The CSU shall not require students transferring pursuant to this article to repeat courses that are similar to those taken at the CC that counted toward the associate degree for transfer.”

  18. Other highlights/notes • “Specified high unit majors shall be exempt from this subdivision upon agreement by the Chancellors of the CSU and the CCCs and their respective academic senates.” (exempt from unit limits) • “Commencing with the fall term of the 2011–12 academic year”…

  19. ASCCC Position (4.03, S10) • Resolved that the ASCCC work with the academic senates of the CSU and the UC to identify common major preparation pathways to simplify student course planning and to inform community college development of degrees designed for transfer

  20. “Transfer Model Curriculum” • Appropriate courses for an associate degree • Preparation for transfer • “Double-counting” encouraged • 60 units total

  21. Structure of the Model Curriculum • Common “core” – minimum of 6 units • Required courses • Additional courses selected from list(s) • Choose one/two/three from the following

  22. High-Unit Majors/”Highly Sequenced” • Consider ideal and acceptable preparation • Consider the limits that small colleges face • Develop majors and/or recommendations

  23. Implementation Details • Most (all?) are to be determined. • Ideas/suggestions for your discipline are welcome • Before we answer questions…
