California Articulation Number (CAN)

The California Articulation Number (CAN) System identifies some of the transferable, lower division, introductory, prepatory courses commonly taught within each academic discipline on college campuses.

The system assures students that CAN courses on one participating campus will be accepted "in lieu of" the comparable CAN course on another participating campus. Example: CAN STAT 2 on one campus will be acceptable for CAN STAT 2 on another participating campus. Each campus retains its own numbering system.

It is expected that most campuses throughout the state will qualify to participate and use CAN's. Check with counselors, academic advisers, and Transfer Center staff as well as campus publications, for lists of participating campuses and courses.

The California Articulation Numbers are listed parenthetically by the course description titles in this catalog.
