Articulation 2 Ways

1
Articulation 2 Ways

• Bernie Day, Articulation, Foothill College
• Jane Patton, ASCCC Mission College
• Ron Selge, Dean, System Office

2
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)

3
Articulation--defined

• Variations
• 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.
• Alignment of course content
• Sequencing
• Advanced placement

4
Two ways

• Between community colleges and universities
  (public and private)
• Between high schools and colleges
• typically in vocational areas
• can take various forms

5
Articulation Basics

• Why?
• Who?
• When?
• How?

6
Faculty responsibilities for articulation

• Discipline faculty are the only qualified persons
  to determine course comparability
• Articulation Officers facilitate the processes

7
Curriculum Committees role

• Ensuring course outlines, catalogs have correct
  designations.
• Supporting discipline faculty to ensure they
  understand and fulfill articulation obligations.

8
Articulation initiatives with universities

• CAN
• C-ID
• IMPAC
• LDTP

9
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. . .

10
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

11
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.

12
C-ID fills a void

• Inter-segmental transfer
• Intra-segmental transfer
• Vocational courses
• Many gaps left by LDTP

13
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

14
LDTP Lower Division Transfer Pattern

• 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
• Status
