Meeting Florida Common Course Numbering Requirements with CourseLeaf Commons
Florida Statute Section 1007.24 establishes a statewide course numbering system (SCNS) for all public postsecondary institutions. This law ensures courses with comparable content are consistently numbered across the state, supporting transfer, reducing credit loss, and improving transparency for students.
For registrars and curriculum leaders, the SCNS requires careful coordination to keep catalogs, curriculum, and SIS data aligned with state requirements.
What Florida Section 1007.24 Requires
Florida’s SCNS mandates that:
- All public colleges and universities use a statewide common course numbering system
- Course numbers, titles, and credits are consistent and comparable statewide.
- Registration systems, catalogs, and transfer pathways display the statewide numbering.
