Description• Improving transfer for our students has become an ever-more important and complex goal, especially given the dissolution of CAN and new transfer initiatives such as LDTP at CSU and the UC Streamlining Project. A replacement proposal to CAN, called C-ID is being developed, and the 3 segments seek ongoing funding for IMPAC---the only formal forum for inter-segmental faculty dialog. As a senate leader, you will be expected to understand and promote efforts that strengthen student transfer to four-year institutions. This is your chance to learn about these important initiatives.

Alternative Titles• Transfer Initiatives• Acronym Hell• How does anyone ever get out of here?

Can you identify these?

CAN• California Articulation Number• CC – CSU (UC never really played)• What can CAN do for us now?• While essentially defunct, CAN numbers will be relied upon initially for LDTP (more on that later)

What is C-ID?

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

• Legislation (SB 450, SB 851, SB 1415)

• MOUs

C-ID: a response to need

• Students• Articulation officers, counselors, staff

• Universities

IMPAC • To facilitate intersegmental and interdisciplinary discussion among segments of higher education

• To clarify expectations for major preparation

• To encourage faculty dialog of curriculum

• To foster intersegmental cooperation

Progress• 33 disciplines met• 12 interdisciplinary discussions held

• 2,290 faculty participated• 167 CAN descriptors were written/revised

• How many of you intended an IMPAC meeting?

Accomplishments• SciGETC• One-semester chemistry course• Supplemental labs• Advising letters• Alignment of learning objectives

• Development of LDTP course descriptors

Future• Uncertain—not funded in 2006-07

• Funds could be available in 2007-08

• Working with ICAS to advertise the accomplishments of IMPAC

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

ICAS• Intersegmental Committee of Academic Senates

• The dysfunctional family dines together

• No, really – a valuable opportunity for intersegmental collaboration.

Statewide Career Pathways

• SB 70--chaptered into Ed Code 88532

• CCC System Office ---developing many projects

• Academic Senate will develop this one project: HS articulation

Goals1. Target relevant regional fields

2. Develop artic. & pathways3. Create artic. standards4. Identify online technology5. Increase student participation

6. Develop database7. Build sustainability

Some components• H.S. and college faculty meetings

• Database of agreements• Outreach to students & institutions

• Mechanism to sustain, renew, disseminate agreements

Status• Steering committee meets in July

• Existing articulation agreements are collected

• Progress on database• Working with System Office, DoE, schools, ROPCs, tech prep

Senate’s role• Curriculum oversight over all articulation (with universities & high schools)

• Benefit for our students• Reaching students in H.S. can bring them to colleges, then to universities

SciGETC• Science IGETC (intersegmental general education transfer curriculum)

• For high unit science majors• Goal: to permit postponement of 2 GE courses until after transfer

Streamlining UC Articulation

Project

• SB 477 requires every UC to articulate specific CCC courses/sequences when 4 or more UCs already articulated them

• Transfer pathways will be published

One more relevant acronym

• SACC =System Advisory Committee on Curriculum

• CIOs, SO staff, and ASCCC at the table to discuss matters related to curriculum

• Progress: Stand alones; Handbook
