Meeting Louisiana CCN Requirements with CourseLeaf Commons
Louisiana Revised Statutes Section 17:3164 requires the Louisiana Board of Regents to develop, coordinate, and maintain a statewide common course numbering system. This mandate ensures that comparable courses across public colleges and universities are easily transferable and reduces the loss of credits for students moving between institutions.
For registrars and academic leaders, the challenge lies in coordinating across institutions, aligning curriculum, and documenting compliance while still honoring local governance.
What Louisiana Section 17:3164 Requires
Under the law, Louisiana’s public higher education system must:
- Implement a common statewide course numbering system across public institutions.
- Ensure consistency and comparability of general education and technical courses.
- Support transfer and articulation by aligning course content, numbering, and learning outcomes.
