About CCN

Common course numbering is a state-mandated initiative (Assembly Bill 1111) aimed at ensuring uniformity in course numbers across California community colleges. Transfer-pathway courses that California community colleges have in common will share identical four-digit course numbers preceded by a "C," identical four-letter subject abbreviations, identical titles, and identical descriptions. The goal of this initiative is to reduce the accumulation of excess college credits and to streamline students’ transfer to four-year postsecondary educational institutions. The initiative is being accomplished by all California community colleges in phases, with Phase 1 implementation in fall 2025 and Phase 2 implementation in fall 2026.
