Article 1.5. Common Course Numbering System of California Education Code >> Division 5. >> Title 3. >> Part 40. >> Chapter 9.2. >> Article 1.5.
(a) It is the intent of the Legislature to facilitate
articulation and seamless integration of California's postsecondary
institutions by facilitating the adoption and integration of a common
course numbering system among the public and private postsecondary
institutions. The purpose of building and implementing a common
course numbering system is to provide for the effective and efficient
progression of students within and among the higher education
segments and to minimize duplication of coursework.
(b) The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:
(1) Effective transfer programs provide a clear path for obtaining the preparation necessary for upper-division major coursework and graduation at a four-year college or university. The segments have made significant progress in developing articulation agreements that specify required coursework and other academic preparation necessary for transfer students to succeed at a four-year institution. These articulation agreements are essential to provide the basis for a common course numbering system that facilitates transfer student success.
(2) In implementing this article, the public postsecondary educational institutions and other parties involved should assess programs and build upon those proving to be the most effective in communicating articulation, such as the 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).

(a) Not later than June 1, 2006, the California Community

adopt, a common course numbering system for the 20 highest-demand
majors in the respective segments.
(b) Not later than June 30, 2006, the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges and the Trustees of the California State University shall, and the Regents of the University of California are requested to, report to the Legislature on the status of the activities of their respective segments as they relate to subdivision (a) and on the plans of their respective segments to implement a common course numbering system for the majors that are not covered by subdivision (a).
(c) Each campus of a public postsecondary educational institution shall incorporate the common course numbering system in its catalogue. This incorporation into a campus catalogue shall occur at the next adoption of a campus catalogue after June 1, 2006.
