2 Ways

Did you know?
 2/3 of CSU graduates and 1/3 of UC graduates
began at a community college.
 Upon transferring they obtained GPAs equal to, or
better than, “native” UC or CSU students.
 In 2004, UC officials indicated that 25% of UC-eligible
high school graduates had at least one community
college course on their transcript
Pocket Profiles, 2006 (from CCLC)
Articulation--defined
Variations:
1. A formal, written agreement that identifies a
course or sequence at a sending college that is
comparable to or acceptable in lieu of a
requirement at receiving institution.
2. Alignment of course content
3. Sequencing
4. Advanced placement
Two ways:
• Between community colleges and
universities (public and private)
• Between high schools and colleges
– typically in vocational areas
– can take various forms
Articulation Basics

Faculty responsibilities
for articulation
• Discipline faculty are the only qualified
persons to determine course
comparability
• Articulation Officers facilitate the
processes
Curriculum
Committee’s role
• Ensuring course outlines, catalogs have
correct designations.
• Supporting discipline faculty to ensure
they understand and fulfill articulation
obligations.
Articulation initiatives

CAN
C-ID
IMPAC
LDTP
CAN was canned
• CAN designations can be maintained
for 2 years after a new LDTP descriptor
is in place.
• Assume we can still note them on our
documents for 2 years. . .
C-ID =
Course Identification Number
A proposal that improves upon CAN
– a supra-numbering system
– a response to mandates and needs
– course descriptors for use by postsecondary
institutions and CCC students
C-ID: a response to
mandates & needs
• Legislation (SB 450, SB 851, SB 1415)
• MOUs
• Unmet needs of students, articulation
officers, counselors, staff, universities
• Articulation processes would be greatly
simplified with C-ID.
C-ID fills a void

Inter-segmental transfer
Intra-segmental transfer
Vocational courses
Many gaps left by LDTP
IMPAC
• Intersegmental Major Preparation Articulated
Curriculum
• 33 disciplines met
• 12 interdisciplinary discussions held
• 2,290 faculty participated
• CAN (167) and LDTP descriptors were
written/revised
• SciGETC developed
LDTP = Lower Division

CSU Project (SB 1785 & MOU)
Goal: to improve transfer into majors
Gives highest priority for admission
Plan: to take effect Fall 2007
First 30 majors are to be completed by June 2006
Approved courses will have a TCSU number

Tech Prep
• Many facets
Contextual curriculum
Work-based learning
Consortium based
Secondary / postsecondary or
Secondary / apprenticeship linkages
Professional Development
Tech Prep
• 80 consortia, self organized
• Very local in scope
• Funding levels inconsistent with charge
(~ $80,000 annual per college)
SB 70, Scott
• Governor’s Initiative on Economic
Development and Career Technical
Education
• Chaptered into Ed Code 88532
• CCC System Office ---developing many
projects
• Academic Senate will develop one project-to develop H.S. articulation
SB 70, Scott
• Quick Start Projects 54% of the funds ($10.8M)
• Alignment/Articulation Project 20% of the funds
($4M) ASCCC
• Strengthening existing K-12 CTE 12.5% of the
funds ($2.5M / 10 projects)
• Middle school/junior high career development
7.5% of the funds ($1.5M/10 projects)
• Critical professional development needs –
Counseling & Faculty in-service (teams of CC & 9-12
faculty working together in industry) 6% of the funds
($700k = 14 projects @ 50k)
ASCCC’s new project:
