The Course Identification Numbering System
(C-ID) is a statewide numbering system
independent from the course numbers
assigned by local California community
colleges. A C-ID number next to a course
signals that participating California colleges
and universities have determined that courses
offered by other California community
colleges are comparable in content and
scope to courses offered on their own
campuses, regardless of their unique titles
or local course number. Thus, if a schedule
of classes or catalog lists a course bearing
a C-ID number, students at that college can
be assured that it will be accepted in lieu of
a course bearing the C-ID designation at
another community college. However, students
should always go to www.assist.org to confirm
how each college’s course will be accepted at
a particular four-year college or university for
transfer credit.
The C-ID numbering system is useful
for students attending more than one
community college and is applied to many
of the transferable courses students need as
preparation for transfer. Because these course
requirements may change and because
courses may be modified and qualified for
or deleted from the C-ID database, students
should always check with a counselor to
determine how C-ID designated courses fit into
their educational plans for transfer
