CCA’s Course Numbers are Changing
Community College of Aurora is changing our course numbering beginning with the summer 2022 semester. We are moving from 3-digit course numbers to 4-digit course numbers. An example of this is ENG 121 will now be ENG 1021. The classes themselves are not changing; they will just have the new 4-digit numbering.
Why is CCA changing its course numbering? Colorado Community College System (CCCS) is changing its course numbering from 3-digits to 4-digits beginning Academic Year 2022-2023 in an effort to better align course curriculum and course sequencing. Community College of Aurora is a part of the Colorado Community College System (CCCS) and follows the shared course numbering system. This means that our next catalog (2022-2023) and course schedule for summer and fall 2022 will show our new course numbering system (as will all the community colleges in the Colorado Community College System).
