Did you know?
2/3 of CSU graduates and 1/3 of UC graduates began at a community college.
Upon transferring they obtained GPAs equal to, or better than, “native” UC or CSU students.
In 2004, UC officials indicated that 25% of UC-eligible high school graduates had at least one community college course on their transcript
Pocket Profiles, 2006 (from CCLC)
Articulation--defined
Variations:
1. A formal, written agreement that identifies a course or sequence at a sending college that is comparable to or acceptable in lieu of a requirement at receiving institution.
2. Alignment of course content
3. Sequencing
4. Advanced placement
Two ways:• Between community colleges and
universities (public and private)
• Between high schools and colleges
– typically in vocational areas
– can take various forms
Faculty responsibilities for articulation
• Discipline faculty are the only qualified persons to determine course comparability
• Articulation Officers facilitate the processes
Curriculum Committee’s role
• Ensuring course outlines, catalogs have correct designations.
• Supporting discipline faculty to ensure they understand and fulfill articulation obligations.
CAN was canned• CAN designations can be maintained
for 2 years after a new LDTP descriptor is in place.
• Assume we can still note them on our documents for 2 years. . .
C-ID = Course Identification Number
A proposal that improves upon CAN– a supra-numbering system
– a response to mandates and needs
– course descriptors for use by postsecondary institutions and CCC students
C-ID: a response to mandates & needs
• Legislation (SB 450, SB 851, SB 1415)
• MOUs
• Unmet needs of students, articulation officers, counselors, staff, universities
• Articulation processes would be greatly simplified with C-ID.
C-ID fills a void
• Inter-segmental transfer
• Intra-segmental transfer
• Vocational courses
• Many gaps left by LDTP
IMPAC• Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated
Curriculum• 33 disciplines met• 12 interdisciplinary discussions held• 2,290 faculty participated• CAN (167) and LDTP descriptors were
written/revised• SciGETC developed
LDTP = Lower Division Transfer Pattern
• CSU Project (SB 1785 & MOU)• Goal: to improve transfer into majors• Gives highest priority for admission• Plan: to take effect Fall 2007• First 30 majors are to be completed by June 2006• Approved courses will have a TCSU number• Status

SB 70, Scott• Quick Start Projects 54% of the funds ($10.8M) • Alignment/Articulation Project 20% of the funds
($4M) ASCCC• Strengthening existing K-12 CTE 12.5% of the
