Simplifying Course Transfers with Common Course Numbering
Beginning in Fall 2025, California Community Colleges are using a new system called Common Course Numbering (CCN) to make transferring credits between colleges easier. This new system gives the same names and numbers to similar courses at all community colleges in California. This helps students easily know which courses can transfer to other schools.
How Common Course Numbering Helps You
The new system helps you plan your classes better, especially if you want to transfer to a University of California (UC) or California State University (CSU). It makes transferring credits simpler and clearer for everyone.
What Does This Mean for You?
In Summer 2025, if you want to take STAT 300, you will still look for STAT 300 when you register for classes. But starting Fall 2025, you will need to look for STAT C1000 instead.
Implementation Timeline
Our colleges will roll out the new course numbering system in phases, starting in Fall 2025.
