Scholarship Workshop -

Common Course Numbering is being introduced in phases across California Community Colleges. This means you’ll start to see more and more courses using the same number for the same class, whether you’re in Northern California, Southern California, or anywhere in between. Over time, most comparable courses across all campuses will have a consistent number, making it easier to plan your path, transfer credits, and stay on track.

Because the rollout is phased, you may notice some courses update sooner than others. Your counselors and advisors can help you understand which classes are already part of CCN and how it can help you right now.

Want to know more about when and how Common Course Numbering is coming to your college? Check your local campus or review our Common Course Numbering page for the latest updates.
