  1. ArticulationESSENTIALS Setting up courses for articulation success MJC Curriculum Committee Training September 6, 2019 Letitia B. Senechal Articulation Officer

  2. ABOUT THIS TRAINING • Articulation definition refresher • Why our curriculum needs articulation review • Who establishes articulation • Articulation readiness – brass tacks • Got a question?

  3. “ARTicuLATION”Refresher Articulation…refers specifically to course articulation: the process of developing a formal, written agreement that identifies courses (or sequences of courses) on a “sending” campus that are comparable to, or acceptable in lieu of, specific course requirements at a “receiving” campus. - CIAC (California Intersegmental Articulation Council) Handbook Spring, 2013

  4. Why CURRICULUM NEEDS ARTICULATION REVIEW • to ensure it most meaningfully applies to both local and baccalaureate requirements (of partner transfer institutions: CSU, UC) whenever possible • to ensure we do not overlook opportunities to expand the transcripted value of a given bachelor’s degree learning experience • to ensure the quality of curriculum against various requirements and standards outside of our local jurisdiction • to support students in most efficiently reaching their educational goals

  5. WHY CURRICULUM NEEDS ARTICULATION REVEW • Baccalaureate institutions ultimately define lower-division requirements for the bachelor’s degree • Credit earned at MJC does not automatically imply that credit is earned in the same way – if at all - at CSU or UC

  6. ARTICULATION ESTABLISHES THE MEANINGFUL TRANSFER OF CREDIT • General Elective Credit • CSU • UC Transfer Course Agreement approval • General Education via • CSU-GE • IGETC • Credit by Examination (Credit for Prior Learning) • Major/course to course credit via • CID – CSU only at this time • Course to course articulation (ASSIST.org)

  7. ARTICULATION:WHO CALLS THE SHOTS? • General Elective Credit at CSU and UC • CSU – MJC faculty in accordance with CSU EO 167 and local process • UC transfer admissions office screens courses on behalf of UC discipline committee criteria • Baccalaureate General Education Breadth - CSU-GE/IGETC Patterns • Statewide intersegmental GE review panel • Course to course/major articulation • CID: statewide discipline reviewers from CCCs and CSUs • Course to course articulation: CSU and UC department faculty • Lower division “major prep”: CSU and UC department faculty

  8. Succeeding at “AO Review”bRASS TACKS

  9. ARTICULATED CREDIT:WHAT IS POSSIBLE? • UC Transferability • Equivalence with Columbia College • CSU-GE Breadth • IGETC Breadth Approval • CID Approval for CCC and/or CSU reciprocity • ADT inclusion • Course to Course Articulation • Lower Division Major Preparation at CSU and UC

  10. UC TRANSFERABILITY • Want a course to transfer to UC?Review discipline specific requirements set for in the UC Transfer Course agreement • One time per year: MJC has June submission for TCA review • Want IGETC? TCA approval cycle comes first. Plan for a 2-year delay until the course can do what is best for students.

  11. TEXTBOOKS • Ensure edition currency • Supply a dated rationale when newest edition is older than 5 years old • Review UC TCA Textbook Requirementsfor courses seeking UC transferability and IGETC approval • Special requirements by discipline • Get help from Rhonda Campbell at 6464

  12. GENERAL EDUCATION BREADTH • We are custodians of critical thinking skills! • Become familiar in standards for General Education breadth. Show them to colleagues. • CSU-GE standards set forth in CSU Executive Order 1100 • IGETC standards set forth in IGETC Standards • Get wise to potential submission pitfalls with the Guiding Notes for GE Reviewers document • New course with GE goals? Timelines are everything • Course will not articulate as planned until all approvals are gleanede.g., a course without UC TCA and will not transfer to UC at all. • Waiting on GE approval? Schedule sections at the students’ risk • Plan to wait up to two years for IGETC

  13. COMPARABLE COURSES • Must be lower-division otherwise we are outside CCC mission • Course numbering means different things at different institutions. • 1-99 is lower division across the UC • Check the CSU Course Numbering System list for numbering at each CSU • Requesting UC Transfer? Find a truly comparable UC course • ASSIST is not reliable at this time • Don’t fear: the data is out there • Search current academic year catalogs (not schedules!) • Old ASSIST articulation agreements (see attached files for course articulation summaries for existing courses) may already show comparable articulated courses • Look outside the box • Bible class lives in “RGST” at a UC (Religious Studies) • Native American topics entitled “Indian” at a CSU • Spanish literature found in TWS “Third World Studies”
