Common Course Numbering

Common Course Numbering—A New Initiative of the Connecticut Community College System
Several years ago the Connecticut Community Colleges began a project to develop a common course numbering system. When it is completed, the system should be of great value to students. A common course numbering system is sensible for several reasons:

• It makes course comparisons easier between colleges in the System.
• It facilitates course comparisons and the transcript evaluation process for students transferring among our colleges or from our colleges to baccalaureate institutions.
• It facilitates the negotiation and implementation of articulation agreements between the community colleges, the Connecticut State University system, the University of Connecticut, and independent institutions.

The second phase of common course numbering has just been implemented. As a result, most courses in this catalog have different course designators (the course designator is a three or four letter abbreviation for the subject area such as ENG for English or POL for Political Science) and numbers. All new numbers will contain a three-letter designator (RAD) followed by an asterisk (*). So, what was formerly RAD 103—Orientation to Radiography II has become RAD*108. Eventually all courses will have new course designators and numbers. You will note that the class schedule, as well as course descriptions contain old and new numbers and, in come cases, titles. Please use the new numbers and course title when registering.
