1. Articulation 101
Fall 2016

2. Step 1 Do the units from the course transfer? CSU UC Course credit
CC determine
UC – submit in June, results in July (TCA)
Importance of thorough COR – recent textbook, lab manual, etc

3. Step 2
Do the units from the course count towards General Education (GE)?
CSU UC

CC determine
UC – submit in June, results in July
CSU GE
CSU determine – submit in Dec
IGETC
CSU and UC determine- submit in Dec
Each course is reviewed by 3 reviewers (both CC and CSU articulation officers) using the Guiding Notes as a reference. Detailed COR is absolutely critical here. Local AA GE comes from CSU approval.
For IGETC – course must already be UC transferable
Results available in ~April.

4. Do the units count towards the major at the 4-yr school?

For course articulation to a UC – must already be UC transferable
Most UCs request both the COR and a recent syllabus – goes out for faculty review, any time of year, can happen quickly (1 week) or slowly (more than a year)

6. What is C-ID and how does it help?
Course identification numbering system
CSU/CC faculty write a descriptor, which is vetted by faculty in both systems
CC submit courses to review – Are they equivalent to the descriptor?
Review by both CSU and CC discipline faculty – can take up to 2 years for review, some disciplines are pickier than others
Course can be approved, conditionally approved or not approved
Prerequisites and units on the descriptor are the minimum
Now seeing course to course articulation based on C-ID approvals and also seeing interest from UC faculty
Understanding of the reduction in workload for course articulation

7. Test your understanding
1) A new biology course is approved by the Cañada College curriculum committee in Sept When is the earliest that it could be articulated for the Biology major at San Jose State University?
2) …for GE at San Jose State?
3) What if the course was approved by the curriculum committee in April 2016?
