Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)
The Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID) is a statewide numbering system independent from the course numbers assigned by local California Community Colleges. For example, the San José City College (SJCC) course ACCTG 020 is designated as comparable to the C-ID descriptor ACCT 110. This means students at SJCC can be assured that ACCTG 020 will be accepted in lieu of a course bearing the C-ID ACCTG 110 designation at another California Community College for a major course requirement. In other words, the C-ID designation can be used to identify comparable courses at different California Community Colleges. However, students should always go to www.assist.org for what will be accepted at a particular four-year college or university for transfer credit and general education. Being that C-ID designated courses are intended for major course requirements, General Education (GE) and other course requirements do not follow C-ID designations. Please consult with a counselor to select the appropriate courses for your educational plan.
The C-ID numbering system is useful for students attending more than one California Community College. Because 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.
The following is a list of SJCC courses with C-ID approved designations as of May 2025. For the most updated list, go to www.c-id.net/courses
