The Value of C-ID
Offers students the opportunity to “swirl” and “move” more easily (similar to how CAN did)- even more important today
Identifies the essential common components of a course (positive outcomes: accreditation efforts, inform curriculum reviews and updates, assist new faculty)
Descriptors are detailed enough to serve as the basis for articulation
CAN = California Articulation Number. CAN ceased to be funded as of 2005 and has been phased out. The excerpt below was taken from and modified. CAN
The California Articulation Number (CAN) System was a statewide numbering system independent from course numbers assigned by local colleges. A CAN number signals that participating California colleges and universities have determined that courses offered by other campuses are equivalent in content and scope to courses offered on their own campuses, regardless of their unique titles or local identifying numbers.
Thus, if a schedule of classes or catalog listed a course bearing a CAN number, students on one campus can be assured that it will be accepted in lieu of the comparable CAN course noted in the catalog or schedule of classes of another campus. For example, CAN ECON 2 on one campus will be accepted as meeting the requirement of the designated CAN ECON 2 course on other participating community college or university campuses.

C-ID Process
Develop descriptors
Review draft descriptors
DIG
Finalize descriptors
Seek articulation with universities
Seek CoR submissions from CCCs
The C-ID process has numerous steps and involves discipline faculty and AOs from the community colleges and universities. As of October 2010, there are finalized descriptors available for sociology, communication studies, and over 100 courses in agriculture.

C-ID Process: Sociology as an Example (timeline)
FDRG originally met October 2008 (3 CCC faculty; 2 CSU faculty; 1 AO); 4 descriptors developed for courses not included in LDTP
4 descriptors plus 4 LDTP descriptors posted on C-ID website to be reviewed by Sociology faculty (2 CSU; 10 CCC)
September 2010 FDRG convened by conference call to consider reviewers’ comments on Sociology posted descriptors AND further develop LDTP descriptors including more detailed course work done through faculty work in IMPAC
The C-ID process has numerous steps and involves discipline faculty and AOs from the community colleges and universities. As of October 2010, there are finalized descriptors available for sociology, communication studies, and over 100 courses in agriculture.

10. Sociology Timeline (cont)
 4 descriptors developed by FDRG moved to finalized descriptor list
 4 further developed LDTP course descriptors posted on C-ID website for review
FDRG met via conference call October 2010 to consider reviewer’s comments on 4 further enhanced LTDP descriptors
October 2010 – all 8 Sociology descriptors posted to the finalized descriptor list and become available for CoR review.
November 2010 – FDRG meets to begin CoR reviews

11. The AO’s Important Role
Communicate, educate and ENCOURAGE your faculty to participate in all parts of the process
ENCOURAGE faculty to go on the C-ID website and sign up for the Discipline List-serve for their discipline area
Work with your curriculum committee to encourage involvement/participation in C-ID
* Independent Cs and Us consider acceptance of C-ID numbers (as many did with CAN)

13. When descriptors are finalized ENCOURAGE faculty to submit their courses
When the CCC faculty agree to accept C-ID’d courses in lieu of their native course, AO submits CoR to the C-ID website
If a course had a TCSU number and the descriptor is now in C-ID, there is no need to submit CoR if the CCC AO indicates that a C-ID designation is desired
