What is C-ID? Faculty-driven system Assigns numbers to transfer courses Each C-ID number identifies a lower-division, transferable course commonly articulated between the CCC and CSU/UC C-ID number ties a course to a specific course “descriptor” that was developed by intersegmental discipline faculty and reviewed statewide. C-ID descriptor also provides information for ongoing curriculum development and revision of lower division courses. Individual college courses are compared to the minimum requirements set by these descriptors. Any community college course that bears the C-ID supranumber conveys that faculty have determined it meets the published course content, rigor, and student learning outcomes. Any other course elsewhere, bearing the same number will be accepted by the institution. 346 approved descriptors and 28 draft descriptors (c-id.net)
