– Math I in Chinese– Chemistry in French– World History in Spanish

• Needed in DL/I Programs

• Use now starting in 2016 - 2017

Amend “Course Name” field as appropriate

Example: “Math I Dual Language Immersion”

CTE CCP Course Coding

• No longer a need to request unique CTE CCP Course Codes!!!

• Courses not found on the Comprehensive Articulation

Agreement (CAA) will not receive a unique course code

• All current CTE CCP course codes not on the CAA will NOT be

available beginning in the 2018-19 SY

• Generic Cluster CTE CCP courses begin with a “WC” in the first

2 digits and have a “2” in the 5th digit
