Course Identification Numbering (C-ID) System
• C-ID is a supra numbering system designed to facilitate statewide
articulation between the community colleges and the California State
University (CSU)
• C-ID served as a replacement for previous projects like California
Articulation Number (CAN), Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated
Curriculum (IMPAC), and Lower Division Transfer Pattern (LDTP)
• C-ID is based on course descriptors that are developed by and vetted with
community college and CSU discipline faculty

Degree Options within C-ID
ADT (Associate Degrees for Transfer)
• TMC (Transfer Model Curriculum)– AA-T or AS-T
• AoE (Area of Emphasis ADT)
MC (Model Curriculum)– this is our focus today
• ISMC (Intersegmental Model Curriculum)
• CCCMC (California Community College Model Curriculum)

Model Curriculum
• Five of the WFTF 25 recommendations address issues with curriculum. These
recommendations support clarifying and streamlining curriculum
development and approval processes, achieving better alignment and
articulation across institutions and industry.
RESPONSE:
• Statewide Curriculum Committee paper on Effective Curriculum Practices
• Development of C-ID descriptors for CTE courses and programs
• Sector Navigators (part of DWM)

Current Problems
• Disparity among programs/certificates/degrees with same
name
• Confusing to industry
• Confusing to students
• Lack of portability
Desired Goals
• Portability Across Colleges
• Clear Pathways
• Stackable Pathways
• Clear Links to Industry

CIAC Conference
Why Industry Input?
• Ensure courses and program have content needed
• Determine current needs, future needs, and industry trends that are
vital
• Advisory Committee membership reflect local industry partners

What is CTE C-ID?
• Uses established C-ID framework
• C-ID originally focused on intersegmental curriculum, now transitioning to
intra-segmental, including CTE.
• C-ID structure and processes used to address the need for development of
model curricula for degrees and certificates.
• The C-ID process has successfully provided state-level leadership on the
development of model curriculum for many years. It is a “plug-and-play”
system for CTE model curriculum development.

Statewide Industry Input
• For CTE programs, Sector Navigators (SNs) and Deputy Sector Navigators
(DSNs) can help communicate with industry partners to determine what
skills and knowledge employers seek.

CIAC Conference
ISMC and CCCMC
• ISMC (intersegmental model curriculum)
• CCCMC (California Community College Model Curriculum)
• Degrees or certificates (stackable)

In the Case of CTE…
• Model curriculum will
• Align with industry
• Align with third party credentials, as possible
• Allow for shared programs and pathways

C-ID Process (for ADTs, AOEs, ISMCs and MCs)
DIG (Discipline Input Group)- open participation, convened statewide,
includes CCC, CSU faculty (if applicable) and industry

creates draft course descriptors and draft degree/certificate
Recommendations from DIG
go to FDRG
FDRG (Faculty Discipline Review Group)- representatives from DIG
groups (6 faculty, including CCC and CSU (if applicable)

finalizes course descriptors and degree/certificates
4/28/2017
CIAC Conference
C-ID Process cont…
• FDRG descriptors and degree/certificate sent to discipline community for
vetting
• Comments can come from CCC, CSU, UC faculty, counselors,
administration, etc.
• FDRG reviews vetting comments, and addresses feedback (if
applicable)
• Once finalized, ADTs go to ICFW and then the California Community
College Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO) for creation of degree template for
submission OR for MCs, colleges can begin creating after finalized MC
is posted on C-ID website

Program Comparison
Model Curriculum (ISMC or CCCMC)
ADT or AoE
Does not guarantee admission
Guarantees admission to CSU with junior standing
No unit restrictions
Restricted to a maximum number of units
Does not require students to complete general
education
Students must complete CSU GE Breadth or IGETC
A collection of major preparation courses that does not
necessarily lead to a degree
Students will earn an Associate Degree for Transfer (ADT)
Complete major preparation package
May not include all major preparation courses due to
unit restrictions
Students may need to complete more than 60
semester/90 quarter units after transfer
Students are only required to complete 60 semester/90
quarter units after transfer

CIAC Conference
Program Comparison
Model Curriculum (ISMC or CCCMC)
ADT or AoE
Useful for high unit majors and CTE disciplines
Useful for common majors found at CCC and CSU
Good for demonstrating key competencies to employers
Might find common courses listed as part of UC Transfer
Pathway
Selection Criteria: No prior approval required
No minimum number of students required
No minimum number of transferring institutions
required
Selection Criteria: Prior approval by ICW required
Minimum of 200 students transferring in major
Minimum of 4 CSUs with program
** ISMC could convert into ADT, as major becomes more
popular, or gets larger at CSU**

ADT Course Substitution Paper
The purpose:
• Provide guiding principles
• Identify and provide guidance for specific ADT course substitution scenarios
4/28/2017
CIAC Conference
ADT Course Substitution Paper
The basic principle advocated by the ASCCC 2013 Reciprocity
document will continue to be the foundation for these guiding
principles and best practices:
. . . the ASCCC urges colleges to allow all reasonable course
substitutions that are consistent with the parameters of the
TMCs.

ADT Course Substitution Paper
SCENARIO: Courses from another CCC campus that “are” C-ID approved
and “are not” part of the other CCC campus’ ADT.
Practice:
Honor C-ID articulation between California community colleges.

ADT Course Substitution Paper
SCENARIO: Courses from another CCC campus that “are” C-ID approved and “are not”
part of the other CCC campus’ ADT.
Practice:
A C-ID approved course from another college that is not in the other college’s ADT should be
applied in the receiving college’s ADT as the locally approved C-ID course is applied.
OR
If the receiving college does not have the C-ID Approved course and/or does not apply it in
their local degree, the C-ID Approved course from the other college could be applied in the
local ADT as it is identified in the TMC, after discussion with discipline faculty.

ADT Course Substitution Paper
SCENARIO: Courses from another CCC campus that “are” C-ID approved and “are not” part of
the other CCC campus’ ADT.
Example – Business Administration AS-T List A and C-ID MATH 110
A statistics course with the C-ID MATH 110 approval from the sending college was “not” part of
that Business Administration AS-T degree nor does the receiving college have a C-ID MATH 110
approved statistics course in their Business Administration AS-T. It is an allowable substitution
for List A at the receiving college since C-ID MATH 110 is identified as an option for List A on the
Business Administration TMC.
