2019-2020 CATALOG & STUDENT HANDBOOK
Based on the requirements of Senate Bill 1186, the Shared
Unique Number (SUN) System was created to help students
identify and enroll in courses that transfer as direct equivalents
throughout the Arizona public community colleges and state
universities. The first phase of the SUN project includes 71
Arizona General Education Curriculum (AGEC) and common
major courses.
Courses in the SUN System have a unique three-letter prefix
and four-digit course number that represents direct course
equivalency at all Arizona public community colleges and
universities. Each institution retains its original course numbers
but uses the SUN to indicate commonality.
For example, financial accounting has several different prefixes
and numbers at Arizona community colleges and universities (see
the table below).

In the SUN System, all of the courses share a unique number
and a single prefix: SUN# ACC 2201. This unique number/prefix
indicates course equivalency at all institutions! When you enroll
in a SUN course you know that your credit will be accepted at any
Arizona college.
Look for the SUN icon ( ) and four digit SUN course
numbers in Scottsdale Community College's class schedules
and catalogs!
