Common Course Numbering
Starting Fall 2025, SBCCD Colleges will switch to a new course numbering system. This new system, called the Common Course Numbering (CCN) system, is a state-mandated initiative (AB-1111) aimed at simplifying student transfer and ensuring uniformity in course numbers across California Community Colleges. Courses identified as common will feature a "C" in their catalog numbers (e.g., ENGL 101 will become ENGL C1000). Some subject area prefixes will also change to align with statewide standards (e.g., POLIT will become POLS).
In compliance with Assembly Bill (AB) 1111, which mandates the adoption of Common Course Numbering (CCN) across all California community colleges, several CSU- and UC-transferable courses have been updated with revised CCN course numbers and titles. Below are the courses included in Phase 1.
Old Course | Old Course Title | CCN Course | CCN Course Title |
---|---|---|---|
COMMST 100 | Elements of Public Speaking | COMM C1000 | Introduction to Public Speaking |
ENGL 101 | Freshman Composition | ENGL C1000 | Academic Reading & Writing |
ENGL 102 | Intermediate Composition & Critical Thinking | ENGL C1001 | Critical Thinking & Writing |
