Making Transfer Between Colleges Easier for Students
The State of California is making it easier for students to ensure the courses they take at any California Community College (CCC), including Sierra College, are transferable and recognized at all 116 CCCs. With the passage of California Assembly Bill (AB) 1111, course numbers will match comparable courses offered at all CCCs.
Sierra College will be rolling out the course numbers in phases over the next few semesters starting with class registration for Fall 2025.
Fall 2025 Course Number Changes
| Current Course Numbering | New Course Numbering |
|---|---|
| ENGL 1A or ENGL 0001A | ENGL C1000 (Academic Reading and Writing) |
| ENGL 1C or ENGL 0001C | ENGL C1001 (Critical Thinking and Writing) |
| COMM 1 or COMM 0001 | COMM C1001 (Introduction to Public Speaking) |
| MATH 13 or MATH 0013 | STAT C1000 (Introduction to Statistics) |

Benefits for Students
- Provides a consistent experience. Students who take courses at multiple community colleges in California will have the same course numbers to choose from — providing a more seamless experience.
- Reduces excess credit (unit) accumulation. Helps students stay on track by preventing students from registering for classes they have already taken.
- Simplifies educational planning. Students planning to attend a CSU or UC will more easily be able to map out which courses to take to earn their associate degree and transfer to a four-year university.
