Common Course Numbering (CCN) System
The Common Course Numbering (CCN) System is a state-mandated initiative aimed at simplifying student transfer and ensuring uniformity in course numbers across California Community Colleges. West Valley College began phasing in courses into this new numbering system beginning Fall 2025.
Common Course Numbering Taxonomy
- Subject: Four letter abbreviation (e.g., ENGL for English)
- Course Type Identifier: C = Common Course Number (when placed between the course subject code and number); other courses would not have a C.
- Course Number: Standardized 4-digit course identification.
- Optional Characters: There may be up to two optional characters after the first number. For example, “H” may denote an honors course.
| Course (Prior to Fall 2025) | Common Course Number |
|---|---|
| COMM 001: Public Speaking | COMM C1000: Introduction to Public Speaking |
| COMM 001H: Honors Public Speaking | COMM C1000H: Introduction to Public Speaking - Honors |
| ENGL 001A: English Composition | ENGL C1000: Academic Reading and Writing |
| ENGL 001C Critical Thinking and Writing | ENGL C1001: Critical Thinking and Writing |
| ENGL 001CH: Honors Critical Thinking and Writing | ENGL C1001H: Critical Thinking and Writing - Honors |
| MATH 010: Elementary Statistics | STAT C1000: Introduction to Statistics |
| MATH 010H: Honors Elementary Statistics | STAT C1000H: Introduction to Statistics - Honors |
| POLI 001: American Government | POLS C1000: American Government & Politics |
| POLI 001H: Honors American Government | POLS C1000H: American Government & Politics - Honors |
| PSYC 001: General Psychology | PSYC C1000: Introduction to Psychology |

Listing of courses with repeatability limitations. Students are limited to a maximum of four enrollments within each of the course groupings, also known as course families, included in the Family Courses List, regardless of the number of courses included in each family. This limitation applies retroactively to all prior enrollments in courses now included in a family; applies even if students receive substandard grades or withdrawals for one or more of the enrollments; and applies to re-enrollments due to extenuating circumstances.
The United States Department of Education requires that West Valley College obtain approval from each out-of-state student’s state of residency before he/she may enroll in an online course. Therefore, out-of-state students not residing in California will not be allowed to enroll in online courses. Active military personnel are exempt.
