  1. Articulation Overview Lori Suekawa Articulation Officer SSC 108K, X3517

  2. Question One: What is Articulation? • The process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses taken at El Camino College are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of courses at the receiving campus. • It may not be an “EXACT” equivalent • UC - they deem a course comparable if 75-80% is similar and specific content addressed.

  3. Articulated versus Transferable • Transferable- a course offered at El Camino College that is accepted at another institution for transfer/elective credit. • Articulated- a course that has been determined as comparable in content to a course at another institution.

  4. Types of Articulation • General education (IGETC, CSU Breadth) • Lower division major preparation • Course to Course (course articulated for a specific department) • CSU/UC transferable (CSU Bacc list, TCA)

  5. Question Two How do we determine what courses are transferable to the UC and CSU systems?

  6. UC Transferable Agreement TCA • Courses are submitted to the University Office of the President (UCOP) • Courses that are considered UC transferable should have a comparable course taught at the lower division level (usually numbered 1-99) at a UC campus • Check the university’s catalog for course descriptions

  7. CSU Transferable Courses (Bacc List) • Executive Order 167 • Guidelines: a) remedial coursework not considered; b) coursework with the primary emphasis on theory and concepts

  8. CSU EO 167

  9. Question Three What do curriculum committees need to know about the cycle for articulation submissions and decisions?

  10. Time line for UC Transfer, IGETC, CSU GE Breadth

  11. Question Four What are the top reasons courses are denied or cause articulation problems?

  12. Answer: • Outline is too old (5 years) • Textbooks are too old (standard discipline may not be enough) • Content- missing specific topics • Description, content, and objectives not aligned • Not comparable…. • University not accepting articulation for a course

  13. ASSIST (www.assist.org) • Articulation System Stimulating Interinstitutional Student Transfer • Information listed: UC TCA CSU Transferable courses (bacc list) CSU GE Breadth IGETC CSU, US History and American Ideals UC Transfer Admission Eligibility Courses Exploring Majors

  14. What is C-ID? C-ID = Course Identification Numbering System • Remember CAN, LDTP, TCSU • Began in 2009 (mandated in 2013 with ADT) • Supra Numbering System • Articulated to course descriptors • Currently 364 descriptors (140 are agriculture/animal science type courses)

  15. View C-ID Results • www.c-id.net • Log in: elcamino • Password: articulation • Course review tab • View submitted courses • Click on view shows the review comments

  16. Top Challenges for CCC • Not 100% compliant with course descriptor content • Textbooks out of date • May not have the 100% compliance with prerequisites • Losing articulation with UC’s if content changes too much **Units for courses are too high/too low for the major; can’t meet the unit requirement for TMC

  17. What Can We do at ECC? • Faculty respond to descriptors and provide input to the C-ID faculty discipline groups • Content review • Update books, unless truly a discipline standard • If denied, provide rationale for an appeal or make changes when possible • Please communicate with curriculum advisor and articulation officer with questions

  18. Pros/Cons • Pros: • Improvement in some outlines, content more clear and specific • Updated texts • Everyone held to same criteria • Descriptor reviewed every 5 years • Cons: • Responses delayed • In some cases, an enforced prerequisite • Inconsistent reviews

  19. Important Reminders! • Use www.assist.org • A course which is transferable isn’t necessarily articulated for major or GE • Outlines: Less is not more…. It is better to be more detailed than not have the details • Ask me….X3517

  20. Role of the Articulation Officer (AO) • Manage, update, and disseminate current articulation data. • Initiate articulation agreements with four year institutions. • Serve as a resource for faculty as appropriate.
