  1. C-ID, Model Curriculum, and Engineering: Part I Michelle PilatiFaculty Coordinator, C-ID

  2. Preview • Course Identification Numbering System • Model Curriculum • Transfer Model Curriculum (AA-S) • Intersegmental Model Curriculum (AS) • Senate Bill 1440/Senate Bill 440 • Discussion/questions

  3. What is C-ID? • Course Identification Numbering System • Products • Course descriptors • Processes • Convening of intersegmental faculty for descriptor development • Statewide vetting of draft descriptors • Submission of CCC course outlines for review • Course outline review process

  4. What does C-ID do? Provides a numerical “tag”, a C-ID designation, for courses that match a given descriptor Why would that be beneficial and of interest to both CCC and CSU faculty?

  5. What does C-ID do? • Provides a means of identifying comparable courses and of ensuring course portability within the CCCs • Addresses the need for “common course numbers” • When a college submits a course outline to obtain a C-ID designation, they are agreeing to accept other courses with that C-ID designation in lieu of their native course

  6. What does C-ID do? • Provides a process for one-to-many articulation • Any university can opt to articulate C-ID descriptors, effectively granting articulation to all colleges that have a course matching a given descriptor • “descriptor-based” articulation • Offers a quality control and model for required courses in TMCs (transfer model curricula) that are used to develop Associate Degrees for Transfer (ADTs)

  7. Characteristics of C-ID • Faculty-driven • Initially intersegmental • “Student-serving” • Enables CCCs to work like a system while maintaining local control of curriculum • NOT establishing common curriculum, identifying COMPARABLE courses

  8. Course Descriptors include: Course description Units; labs Prerequisites Content Objectives Evaluation Texts

  9. C-ID Descriptors • Identify the essential, common components of a course • Provide enough detail to serve as the basis for articulation • Inform course updates and new course development

  10. C-ID Descriptors • Permit identification of comparable courses • Provide consistency

  11. Process • Develop draft descriptors • Faculty Discipline Review Group (FDRG) • Discipline convening (Discipline Input Group) • Vet draft descriptors www.c-id.net • Finalize descriptors • Seek articulation with universities • Seek COR submissions from CCCs

  12. Model Curriculum for Degrees Transfer Model Curricula (TMC) >> AS-T CCCMC >> “terminal” associate degree ISMC – Intersegmental MC >> associate degree intended to prepare students for transfer

  13. ISMC • Engineering • Units • Information Technology • Transfer? CTE? Not common. • Nursing • Units

  14. To TMC or Not to TMC What does it mean to “have” a TMC? Are there obligations associated with establishing a TMC? Why would anyone WANT a TMC? Where did these TMCs come from?

  15. Senate Bill 1440 - Goals • Increase CCC transfers with associate degrees • Increase number of associate degrees awarded • Reduce units/cost before & after transfer • Smoother path to transfer to a CSU • A guarantee at CSU

  16. Ed code §66745-49 says: • All CCCs must offer ADTs • Degrees include: • 60 sem./90 qtr. CSU-transferable units • Completion of IGETC or CSU GE-Breadth (Note: GE = 27-33 units) • Minimum 18 sem./27 qtr. units in major • No additional local requirements allowed • GPA---2.0

  17. Ed code §66745-49 says: • “the CSU shall guarantee admission with junior status” • “. . . does not guarantee admission for specific majors or campuses” • “priority admission ---to local CSU campus and to a program or major that is similar . . . as determined by the CSU campus”

  18. What couldhave happened. . . 112 colleges develop unique degrees in each major. . . OR A concerted, statewide, intersegmental transfer model curriculum (TMC) 

  19. New “AA-T” and“AS-T” degrees

  20. “Transfer Model Curriculum” Appropriate courses for an associate degree (CCC) and Preparation for transfer (CSU) “Double-counting” encouraged 60 units total including GE

  21. Features of TMC Common “core” – typically a minimum of 6 units Additional courses selected from list s) Total 18 units (minimum) Some courses may be in related fields

  22. SB 440 MANDATES degree development at the CCC IF there is an existing degree in the TOP Code of the TMC. Important to assess impact before TMC development.

  23. Engineering ISMC Not subject to legislated mandates How is an ISMC implemented? What does it mean for a college to offer an ISMC-aligned degree? What does completion of an ISMC-aligned degree do for a student?

  24. C-ID, Model Curriculum, and Engineering: Part II Michelle PilatiFaculty Coordinator, C-ID

  25. Implementing MC What obligations are there for CCCs? What obligations are there for CSUs? What benefits are there for students?

  26. Implementing MC • What obligations are there for CCCs? • None, unless you CHOOSE to develop a degree. • If a CCC chooses to create an MC-aligned degree, they agree to “reciprocity”

  27. Another possibility… No local graduation requirements?

  28. Implementing MC • What obligations are there for CSUs? • None, unless a given CSU CHOOSES to do so. • What obligations might there be?

  29. Potential CSU Obligations… …. student benefits. Admission priority. Unit cap guarantee. Junior standing. Others?

  30. What’s Next? Model Curriculum Workgroup developing processes and policies. ASCCC review of local degrees for determination of MC-alignment – either prior to or after submission to the CCCCO. Determine how to “enforce” reciprocity and any other proposed CCC requirements.

  31. What’s Next? Determine how to identify and market degrees. Conduct the CSU “ask” – what could you do for a student who has completed one of these degrees ? Explore UC benefits.
