Enhancing Articulation Between Community Colleges and Universities for Student Success

This resource provides an in-depth look into the articulation processes between community colleges and universities, highlighting the pivotal role they play in student transfers and success. It covers formal agreements, course alignments, and initiatives designed to facilitate smooth transitions for students. With a focus on best practices, faculty responsibilities, and the use of C-ID for course identification, this guide aims to improve understanding and implementation of articulation practices. By outlining historical context and legislative support, it serves as a crucial reference for educators and administrators involved in transfer pathways.

  1. Articulation 2 Ways Bernie Day, Articulation, Foothill College Jane Patton, ASCCC; Mission College Ron Selge, Dean, System Office

  2. 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)

  3. Articulation--defined Variations: • 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. • Alignment of course content • Sequencing • Advanced placement

  4. Two ways: • Between community colleges and universities (public and private) • Between high schools and colleges • typically in vocational areas • can take various forms

  5. Articulation Basics • Why? • Who? • When? • How?

  6. Faculty responsibilities for articulation • Discipline faculty are the only qualified persons to determine course comparability • Articulation Officers facilitate the processes

  7. Curriculum Committee’s role • Ensuring course outlines, catalogs have correct designations. • Supporting discipline faculty to ensure they understand and fulfill articulation obligations.

  8. Articulation initiatives with universities • CAN • C-ID • IMPAC • LDTP

  9. 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. . .

  10. 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

  11. 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.

  12. C-ID fills a void • Inter-segmental transfer • Intra-segmental transfer • Vocational courses • Many gaps left by LDTP

  13. 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

  14. 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

  15. Articulation with high schools

  16. 2+2 (precursor) 2+2+2 (precursor) Middle College Early College High School Concurrent Enrollment Tech Prep School-to-Career (federal name STW) SB 70, Scott (Governor’s Initiative on Economic Development and Career Technical Education) System Office Secondary / PostsecondaryLinkage Projects

  17. Tech Prep • Many facets • Contextual curriculum • Work-based learning • Consortium based • Secondary / postsecondary or Secondary / apprenticeship linkages • Professional Development

  18. Tech Prep • 80 consortia, self organized • Very local in scope • Funding levels inconsistent with charge (~ $80,000 annual per college)

  19. SB 70, Scott • Governor’s Initiative on Economic Development and Career Technical Education • Chaptered into Ed Code 88532 • CCC System Office ---developing many projects • Academic Senate will develop one project--to develop H.S. articulation

  20. SB 70, Scott • Quick Start Projects 54% of the funds ($10.8M) • Alignment/Articulation Project 20% of the funds ($4M) ASCCC • Strengthening existingK-12 CTE 12.5% of the funds ($2.5M / 10 projects) • Middle school/junior high career development 7.5% of the funds ($1.5M/10 projects) • Critical professional development needs – Counseling & Faculty in-service (teams of CC & 9-12 faculty working together in industry) 6% of the funds ($700k = 14 projects @ 50k)

  21. ASCCC’s new project: Statewide Career Pathways: Creating School to College Articulation

  22. Statewide Career Pathways • Opportunities for faculty to develop agreements. • Database of agreements • Outreach strategies to students, parents, staff • Goal: More transportability for common subject areas

  23. Agriculture, natural resources Arts, media, entertainment Building trades Energy Engineering Fashion, interior design Finance & business Health, human services Hospitality, tourism Info tech Manufacturing Educ services Public services Retail & wholesale Transportation Career pathways

  24. Status • Steering committee formed • Existing agreements collected • Technology under development • Website under construction • Fall 2006: first discipline meetings

  25. Articulation Resources • Your articulation officer • CIAC • Tech prep coordinator • Us! :-)
