What is the common course numbering system?
Starting in Summer Quarter 2008, the Seattle Community Colleges will use a new Common Course Numbering (CCN) system. Some of our course numbers and titles have been changed to comply with the new standard being used by the state’s community colleges. The new system is designed to identify courses that are equivalent at community colleges and to make it easier for students who may transfer between two-year colleges.
