Browse our collection of necessary forms and templates needed to submit courses in the Chancellor’s Office Curriculum Inventory system (COCI).

Common Course Numbering Templates

These templates are to be used at the local college level (i.e., curriculum committees) in developing the course outline of record. The templates contain the required taxonomy and identical language for these specific areas: course description, course objectives/outcomes, course content, methods of evaluations and representative texts.

Common Course Numbering Form for First Initial 6 Courses (Optional)

Colleges will be able to upload optional content as part of transitioning a traditional course to a common course. The form required to submit optional content will be available for users to download and complete on the COCI dashboard.

This form is only for the initial 6 courses and is only to be used if the college wishes to expand beyond the required CCN Template language specific to the course outline of record to include “Optional” information in these areas:

  • course description
  • course objectives/outcomes
  • course content
  • methods of evaluations
  • representative texts.

Course Outline Record Technical Guidance Form: Required for all Course Submissions as of July 31, 2025

The Curriculum Committee and the curriculum staff will use the Course Outline of Record Technical Guidance Form as a guide to submit their course outlines into the Chancellor’s Office Curriculum Inventory (COCI). The form does not need to be submitted; it is intended as reference for local use.

The Course Outline Record Technical Guidance Form applies only to courses with a classification status of a credit course (CB11 = Y). This does not apply to basic skills (CB08 = B) or noncredit courses (CB21 = B-F, CB22 = Y, CB24).

Courses with an established Common Course Number (CCN) will have identical elements in the course outline established by the discipline faculty and the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges. When reviewing the form college curriculum committees should work with their articulation office for courses with a common number. College curriculum committees can consider whether adding additional local content to a course outline of record with a common course number will impact course-to-course and major preparation articulation.
