Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)

1. Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) And SB 1440 – Associate Degrees for Transfer Vocational Education Leadership Dolores Davison, Foothill College Darryl Isaac, Orange Coast College Nancy Jones, Coastline College

2. Preview • Overview of C-ID • Senate Bill 1440: Associate Degrees for Transfer • Status of CTE Disciplines: C-ID and TMC

3. What is C-ID? A system to replace and expand on CAN • a supra-numbering system • a response to mandates & needs • a published set of course descriptors www.c-id.net

4. is: • Intersegmental • Faculty-driven • Voluntary • And its new role --- implementing SB 1440

5. “Descriptors” • Identify the essential, common components of a course • Provide enough detail to serve as the basis for articulation • Inform course updates • Permit identification of comparable courses • Provide consistency for the TMC

6. The Descriptors Include: Course description Units; labs Prerequisites Content Objectives Evaluation Texts

8. C-ID Descriptors ExampleBUS 140 Proposed C-ID Number: BUS 140 Title: Business Information Systems, Computer Information Systems Discipline: Business Approval Date: February 5, 2012 General Course Description: Examination of information systems and their role in business. Focus on information systems, database management systems, networking, e-commerce, ethics and security, computer systems hardware and software components. Application of these concepts and methods through hands-on projects developing computer-based solutions to business problems.

9. C-ID DescriptorsBUS 140 cont. Course Content: 1.Information systems concepts 2.Communication and network concepts, systems, and applications 3.Internet usage; e-business systems 4.System infrastructure concepts 5.System and Application software programs and concepts 6.Information systems security, crime, and ethics 7.Types of information systems and their roles in business 8.Systems development life cycle 9.Organization and management of structured and unstructured data using spreadsheets and database tools 10.Practical exercises in electronic spreadsheet development 11.Practical exercises in using database software 12.Practical exercises in Internet technologies

10. C-ID DescriptorsBUS 140 cont. Laboratory Activities (if applicable): Course Objectives: At the conclusion of this course, the student should be able to: 1.Describe existing and emerging technologies and their impact on organizations and society. 2.Demonstrate an understanding of the development and use of information systems in business. 3.Solve common business problems using appropriate Information Technology applications and systems. Methods of Evaluation: Evaluation will include hands-on projects and a combination of examinations, presentations, discussions, or problem-solving assignments.

11. Process • Develop draft descriptors • Vet draft descriptors in 2 ways: • www.c-id.net • At DIG meetings • Finalize descriptors • Seek articulation with universities • Seek COR submissions from CCCs*

12. Senate Bill 1440 • Mandates “associate degree for transfer”(AA-T and AS-T) • Offers benefits for students & faculty

13. Associate Degree for Transfer Requirements: • A student must complete 60 semester units or 90 quarter units that are eligible for transfer to the CSU that consist of • IGETC or CSU GE Breadth • a major or area of emphasis of at least 18 units, as defined by the CCC • No additional local graduation requirements may be required • Minimum GPA of 2.0

14. “the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status” • “. . . does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses” • “priority admission ---to local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar . . . as determined by the CSU campus”

15. “The CSU may require a student transferring pursuant to this article to take additional courses at the CSU so long as the student is not required to take any more than 60 additional semester units or 90 quarter units at the CSU for majors requiring 120 semesterunits or 180 quarter units.”

16. “The CSU shall not require students . . . to repeat courses that are similar to those taken at the CC that counted toward the associate degree for transfer.”

17. Implementing SB 1440 112 colleges develop unique degrees in each major. . . OR A concerted, statewide, intersegmental transfer model curriculum (TMC) 

18. New “AA-T” and“AS-T” degrees

19. ASCCC and ASCSUSupport • C-ID system • AA-T and AS-T degrees • TMCs • Intersegmental faculty dialog

20. “Transfer Model Curriculum” Appropriate courses for an associate degree ---and Preparation for transfer “Double-counting” encouraged 60 units total including GE

21. Features of TMC Common “core” – typically 6 units Additional courses selected from list (s) Total 18 units (minimum) Some courses may be in related fields

22. Progress (as of November) 18 final TMCs (www.c-id.net) 4 under development 8 new drafts in the last month > 310 degrees approved in Chanc. Office so far > 277 C-ID descriptors in place >1000+ courses approved in C-ID Many more C-ID descriptors in the works

23. CTE TMCs • Approved • AJ/Criminal Justice • Business • Early Childhood • Kinesiology • Studio Arts • Theatre • In Process • Computer Science (Programming) • CIS – IT Business • CIS – Security • CIS – Routing (CISCO)

24. CTE TMCs

25. Draft TMCIT with Business Emphasis Minimum Requirements: Courses (core)Units • Financial Accounting 3 • Managerial Accounting 3 • Microeconomics 3 Double Count • Macroeconomics 3 • Intro to Programming 3 • Intro Database Management Systems 3 • Finite Math or Bus Statistics 3 Double Count • Computer Information Systems 3 Sub-Total (24) Less double counting units (-6) Total(18)

26. Draft TMCChild Development Minimum Requirements: Courses (core)Units • Child Growth & Development (3) Double Count • Child, Family & Community (3) Double Count • Principles & Practices (3) • Introduction to Curriculum (3) • Observation & Assessment (3) • Practicum in Early Childhood Education (3) • Health, Safety & Nutrition (3) Double Count • Teaching in a Diverse Society (3) Sub-Total (24) Less double counting units (-9) Total(15)

27. For Consideration • CSUs DO NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT TMC • Could require additional/different course work • May give a bump in priority even if not accepted • If new courses are developed to meet TMC, a Substantive Change Report needs to be filled with ACCJC (repackaging okay)
