Need to Request that a Course You Have Taken at Another College Be Substituted for a Course at SCC?
Complete an online course substitution petition.
This form is only to request that a course you have taken previously at another college be substituted for a program (major) course requirement or competency requirement at Sacramento City College (SCC).
A C-ID is a statewide numbering system designed to identify comparable courses and facilitate articulation with any other CCC with the same designation for course content credit. Any community college course that bears a C-ID number signifies that it is equivalent in content, rigor, and student learning outcomes.
Search for a C-ID number by discipline, college, or effective date.
Before You Complete a Course Substitution Petition
Course substitution submissions will not be processed if any of the below items are missing:
Official Transcript
Your official transcript must already be on file with the SCC Admissions and Records Office.
Course Description/Syllabus
Course descriptions can be found in a college’s catalog online or you may visit CollegeSource Online to view digital college catalogs. Course descriptions give a small description of the course and what they cover, which is required to compare to the courses offered at our college.
