Assumptions for Understanding the relationship between CAN numbers, institutional adoption and articulation of same.

• The Agriculture Discipline Committee for IMPAC and CPAAC have formally adopted the new Prefix and Numbering System for continued work within the Ag Discipline on a Statewide basis (12-2-04 Winter IMPAC/CPAAC Meeting).
• The Agriculture Statewide Curriculum and "New" CAN numbering system have been approved by the CAN Board (2/2/05) opening the door for statewide adoption of the CAN Agriculture Numbers by colleges and universities for inclusion in Course Catalog Descriptions.
• Title V does not allow for the awarding of upper division credit for community college courses.
• Any specific accommodation for subject matter competence, obtained at the community college, will be on a case by case basis and under the purview of the individual transfer university
• Adoption of the Statewide Agriculture courses is the prerogative of each institution, but it is suggested that CPAAC consider "Grandfathering" all existing articulated courses and appropriately approving the new AGCAN Prefixes and Numbers to be utilized by each institution as desired.
• Articulation will continue to be based on institution to institution agreements.
