Uniform Course Numbering System | Mississippi Community College Board

Section I

Introduction

The system of identifying courses in all CTE curricula was adopted in 2005 to become implemented in the fifteen public junior college districts during the 2006-2007 school years. The leadership and efforts provided by the Mississippi Community and Junior College Chief Career-Technical Officers and Deans make this course numbering system possible. A general revision of the numbering system is prepared each year. New courses are constantly reviewed by a screening committee of the Chief Career-Technical Officers & Deans Association. When a new course is added or an existing course revised, the name of the course, a complete course description, the course number, and the SCH breakdown is revised.

Interpreting Course Identifiers

Each course in the numbering system has a three letter prefix which identifies the subject field to which the course belongs. Examples: BOT identifies a Business Office Technology course; DDT identifies a Drafting and Design Technology course, etc.

Process for Requesting Courses for Inclusion in this Document

First number designates year:
Example: 1000 level courses indicate first year's work 2000 level courses indicate second year's work

Second number designates grouping:
NOTE: Grouping are consistent for each year but not from year one to year two

Third number designates sequence in a group:

Fourth number designates course credit hours:
Colleges have the flexibility to adjust the semester credit hours of a course up 1 hour or down 1 hour (after informing the Mississippi Community College Board [MCCB] of the change). Thus, Credit may vary from course credit shown by varying this number up or down 1 credit hour.

Example: 1213 and 1214 with the same letter prefix indicate the same basic course, but with different credit due to more lecture or laboratory time.

Process for requesting a course for inclusion in this document.
Course developed as part of the statewide program approval and curriculum development/revision process(es) will automatically be included in this document. All other career and technical education courses must be approved for inclusion and pay purposes.

The requesting college obtains necessary institutional approval(s).
The requesting college completes a new course request form, available from the Mississippi Community College Board (MCCB) Office of Curriculum and Instruction webpage: http://www.sbcjc.cc.ms.us/OCI/OCIDefault.aspx.
The requesting college submits the completed course request form to the Director of Curriculum and Instruction at the MCCB.
The Director will log the request and forward the form to the Chair of the Chief Career-Technical Officers and Deans’ uniform course numbering committee for committee consideration.
The committee chair shall notify (1) the requesting institution, and (2) the Director of Curriculum and Instruction of the committee’s action on the request.
If approved, the Director will forward the course information to the MCCB Accountability Office for pay purposes.
Approved courses will be included in the next scheduled addendum to the Career & Technical Education Uniform Course Numbering document.

Section II: TECHNICAL COURSES WITHIN THE STATEWIDE CURRICULA

The content of the courses in this section reflects approximately 75 percent of the time allocated to each course. The remaining 25 percent of each course should be developed at the local district level and may reflect:

Additional competencies and objectives within the course related to topics not found in the State curriculum framework, including activities related to specific needs of industries in the community college district.
Activities which develop a higher level of mastery on the existing competencies and suggested objectives.
Activities and instruction related to new technologies and concepts that were not prevalent at the time the current framework was developed/revised.
Activities which implement components of the Mississippi Tech Prep initiative, including integration of academic and vocational-technical skills and coursework, school-to-work transition activities, and articulation of secondary and postsecondary vocational-technical programs.
Individualized learning activities, including worksite learning activities, to better prepare individuals in the courses for their chosen occupational area.
