C-ID - Course Identification Number System

Transfer Model Curriculum Information

In response to Senate Bill 1440 (Padilla, 2010), the Academic Senates for California Community Colleges and California State University decided to develop a faculty-led, state-wide, concerted effort to identify the course content for new associate degrees for transfer, which simultaneously award students an associate degree and prepare them for special benefits/guarantees upon transfer to CSU.  The C-ID infrastructure is being used to develop and vet the transfer model curriculum (TMC) in each of the most common transfer majors.  Further, C-ID is being used to develop “descriptors” for all the courses in the TMCs, providing assurances to students and faculty that courses offered at one institution are comparable to those elsewhere, provided they have the same C-ID number.  Once a TMC has been drafted by intersegmental discipline faculty, it is vetted on the C-ID site where feedback is posted by a wider sampling of faculty.  Once finalized, TMCs become available for community colleges to use as they develop their associate degree for transfer. 

Associate degrees for transfer are either AS-T degrees (for STEM and CTE programs) or AA-T degrees (for all other programs). 

Please look below for the finalized TMCs.

The Chancellor’s Office has posted examples of AA-T and AS-T degrees that they have approved. You can view these examples by visiting their website. Click here.
