About Intradistrict Equivalencies

Because Modesto Junior College and Columbia College are regarded as "sister colleges" in the Yosemite Community College District, discipline faculty of each college have agreed that certain courses offered at each campus are "equivalent". Doing so to allows you to use those courses at either college to satisfy prerequisites and program requirements at either college.

California C-ID "Supranumbering"

Additionally, the State of California upholds a common course numbering system, C-ID, that establishes a similar transfer reciprocity between many colleges. Courses with C-IDs can be automatically accepted by other community colleges and California State Universities when those colleges formally recognize the same C-ID within their curriculum. For example, Columbia College's ENGL 1A, MJC's ENGL 101 and MJC ENGL 100 are identified in the statewide numbering system as C-ID ENGL 100, meaning that if you can transfer to Sacramento City College and automatically have credit for their comparable C-ID ENGL 100 course ENGWR 300. Additionally, C-ID courses constitute a substantial portion of the requirements for the California Community Colleges' Associate Degrees for Transfer.

Help with equivalencies

The courses listed below have been deemed equivalent by both colleges and is updated by the MJC Instruction Office. This list of course equivalencies can change throughout the year. If you are interested in learning whether a course not listed may be equivalent to a specific course, please contact the MJC Evaluators at (209) 575-6033 or (209) 575-6040.
