C-ID Overview Past Background Purpose Present Review Process Accomplishments/Improvements Future Legislative Leanings New Opportunities

C-ID Course Identification Numbering System Products Course descriptors Processes Convening of intersegmental faculty for descriptor development Statewide vetting of draft descriptors Submission of course outlines for review Course outline review process

What does C-ID do? Provides a numerical “tag”, a C-ID designation, for courses that match an intersegmentally developed descriptor Provides a means of identifying comparable courses and of ensuring course portability within the CCCs Addresses the need for “common course numbers” Intrasegmental articulation SOME intersegmental articulation

What does C-ID NOT do? “Justify” or validate prerequisites. Offer descriptors that should be used in lieu of course outlines of record. Establish repeatability. Standardize curriculum.

C-ID >> TMC Offers a quality control and model for required courses in the TMCs (transfer model curricula) that are the basis of the statewide response to SB 1440 (associate degrees for transfer; AA-T/AS-T degrees) All required courses in a TMC are specified by C-ID descriptors. Course outline of record (COR) submission to C-ID now required PRIOR to degree submission.

C-ID COR Review Reviewed by 1 CCC and 1 CSU faculty member. CCC Primary Reviewer reconciles differences. Review Approach (details in AO Guide): All descriptor requirements met via holistic review Prerequisite/Corequisite – must be present; additional okay Content & Objectives – no expectation of word for word match Units – may be more but not less Methods of Evaluation – samples unless otherwise indicated Textbook within 7 years unless an exception

C-ID Course Review Best Practices Remember that well-aligned CORs contribute to a more expedient review process and that C-ID descriptors are intended to reflect a MINIMUM. Assist faculty in understanding course review requirements when developing/updating CORs (Resources: AO Guide, AO Training PowerPoint). Submit courses ASAP. Submit courses wherever they are appropriate – psychology or sociology stats for math stats descriptor, etc.
