Common Course Numbering (CCN)
Common Course Numbering (CCN) is a system used by California Community Colleges to assign the same course number to comparable courses across all community colleges in the state. This system, mandated by Assembly Bill 1111, aims to streamline credit transfer between community colleges and to four-year institutions, simplifying the process for students.

Cross-listed Courses
Cerritos College uses cross-listing to offer the same course under multiple department names, ensuring students can register for the same course in different ways. Therefore, cross-listed courses are equivalent and should not be taken more than once if the student has completed the class with a grade of "C" or higher or "Pass".
