As a result of AB 1111, California Community Colleges are adopting a Common Course Numbering (CCN) system for selected general education and transfer pathway courses. The purpose of the CCN system is to ensure that comparable courses across all California Community Colleges (CCC) have the same course number and title. The goal is to streamline the transfer process from CCC to four-year postsecondary educational institutions and reduce excess credit accumulation.

The chart below provides a list of courses that will be offered at Moorpark with a comparison of the previous course prefix and number and the new course prefix and number based on the CCN system beginning Fall 2025. Each year, we anticipate more courses will be added to CCN. If you have any questions, please contact your counselor.
