Common Course Numbering (CCN)

Benefits for Students

To simplify credit transfer between institutions, California Community Colleges have adopted a statewide numbering system through the Common Course Numbering project (AB 1111). This system will eventually provide a standardized set of subjects and course numbers across all California Community Colleges, ensuring that equivalent courses have the same identifier, regardless of the college offering them. Additional courses will be converted to commonly numbered courses over the next several years.

The Common Course Numbering system helps students plan their academic journeys with confidence, particularly when transferring to the University of California (UC) and California State University (CSU) systems. This initiative supports seamless articulation agreements and reinforces consistency across the state's diverse community colleges. By aligning course numbers, students can more easily identify transferable credits, reducing confusion and streamlining their educational pathways.

  • Simplifies transfers between community colleges and the CSU/UC systems.
  • Gives students a path to find transferable courses.
  • Makes it easier to plan which courses to take.
