Shared Unique Numbering (SUN) System Course Information Senate Bill 1186, which passed into law in 2010, mandated the creation of a shared numbering system for public college and university courses in Arizona to identify courses that transfer from community colleges to universities toward a baccalaureate degree. The shared unique number (SUN) system is a college course numbering system designed to help students locate and enroll in courses that have direct equivalents for transfer among Arizona's public community colleges and three state universities. However, even if a course at the Maricopa Community Colleges is not designated as a SUN course, it could still transfer to other Arizona public institutions with a direct equivalent as per the course equivalency guide on aztransfer.com. The SUN system does not address the applicability of courses. Students are encouraged to work with an academic advisor on course selections. To access a list of SUN courses, visit www.azsunsystem.com. 2.2.6 Academic Advising and New Student Orientation 1. Academic Advising A.
