Items:

  1. Lori Suekawa, Articulation Officer at El Camino College presented a Power Point on Articulation Overview.
  2. Topics covered included review of articulation versus transferable courses, CSU Transferable courses (CSU EO 1067) and UC Transferable Agreements.
  3. Overview of how to utilize the Articulation System Stimulating Interinstiutional Student Transfer (ASSIST.org). For example to see which courses meet major prep, to see agreements with other colleges, to run reports to view which courses are articulated.
  4. Use Articulation System Stimulating Interinstiutional Student Transfer (ASSIST) to see what course meets major prep. Assist.org
  5. Reports will tell you if no courses are articulated; can see agreements with other colleges.
  6. C-ID: Course Identification Numbering System was reviewed.The C-ID is a supra numbering system that was developed in 2009 and mandated in 2013. The website c-id.net includes course descriptors for reference. The C-ID is a CSU concept for transfer and articulation. The numbers are needed for degrees. No C-IDs, no AD-Ts.
  7. Community colleges do not need to follow the C-ID course numbers. Colleges can use their own numbering system.
  8. Top challenges for community colleges: not being 100% compliant with course descriptor; old textbooks; out of compliance with prerequisites; losing articulation with UCs if content changes too much.
  9. Benefit/Pro to C-IDs: Students can finish AD-Ts in 60 units minus remedial course for transfer to CSU to complete undergraduate degree in 120 units.
  10. A “transferable” course isn’t necessarily articulated for major or GE.
