Did you know that as of Fall 2025, course numbers at California Community Colleges—including Río Hondo—now follow a unified statewide system? It’s all part of a new initiative called Common Course Numbering (CCN).
This system, required by state law (Assembly Bill 1111), was created to make transferring between colleges easier than ever. Instead of wondering whether “Math 130” at one college is equivalent to “Math 110” at another, all comparable classes across the state now share the same course number and title. The result? A simpler, clearer experience for students.
What’s changed?
Beginning in Fall 2025, many Río Hondo courses received updated numbers and names.
For example, “Math 130” is now listed as STAT C1000. Even though the label changed, the course content and units remain the same.
How does this help students?
If you plan to take classes at another community college or transfer to a university, CCN ensures consistency. You’ll know exactly which course to register for, making it easier to:
- Stay on track for graduation
- Build a clearer academic plan
- Understand how courses transfer
Already took the class?
No worries—your past coursework still counts. Any classes you completed before the renumbering remain valid toward your degree and transfer requirements.
More changes ahead
The classes below represent Phase I of CCN. Additional courses will transition to the new numbering system in Fall 2026 and again in Fall 2027.
