Course Transferability and C-ID

Transferable Courses

Courses that can transfer to the University of California (UC) and/or California State University (CSU) systems are labeled as "Transferable" in the course details.

For questions about how specific courses transfer to particular institutions, students should consult a counselor.

Course Identification Numbering System (C-ID)

The C-ID system is a statewide numbering system designed to identify comparable courses and facilitate articulation. Any community college course that bears a C-ID number signifies that it is equivalent in content, rigor, and student learning outcomes. Any course with a C-ID number can be assured that it will be accepted at other participating community college or CSU campuses. For example: C-ID COMM 110 at American River College will be accepted by any other college that has been approved for the same C-ID COMM 110 number.

Students should consult a counselor for specific information and help evaluating course transferability. In addition, students should visit ASSIST.org to confirm how each college's course will be accepted for the following:

  1. Majors at CSU and UC campuses
  2. CSU general education requirements
  3. IGETC general education requirements

Please consult a counselor to find out if your courses meet requirements at private and out-of-state colleges and universities. See an up-to-date listing of American River College C-ID approved courses on the Transfer and Articulation System website for California's colleges and universities.
