What are California Articulation Number (CAN) and ASSIST?
CAN is a common number system used to identify courses which are often required as lower division preparation for majors. The courses are taught at many colleges with each specific campus using their own unique number for the course. The CAN system allows counselors and students to determine equivalent courses offered at different colleges by using the common number (CAN). Courses that qualify for CAN are identified in the class schedule and in the catalog. ASSIST is an online database that describes various lower division courses at 4-year colleges and their equivalents at community colleges. The courses may be listed by university major or in a course-to-course format. Students should compare ASSIST information with major requirement information in the university catalog. Failure to read college catalogs may lead the student to miss admission eligibility requirements.
