Common Course Numbering has come to City College!
Starting in Fall 2025, all California community colleges are adopting a Common Course Numbering (CCN) system, as a result of Assembly Bill 1111 (Berman, 2021). Common Course Numbering requires that general education and transfer pathway courses at all California community colleges have the same department/prefix, course number, course title, and prerequisites. Additionally, portions of the course description, course content, and student learning outcomes are identical, with individual colleges able to add information to the course description, content, and student learning outcomes.
