District staff will match local course numbers to the corresponding Illinois School Course Codes. The Illinois School Course Codes are based on the Secondary School Course Classification System:  School Codes for the Exchange of Data codes, provided by the National Center for Education Statistics, Common Core of Data, which can be located at http://nces.ed.gov/pubsearch/pubsinfo.asp?pubid=2007341.

This NCES data handbook outlines a system for assigning standard codes to secondary school courses in 22 major subject areas. It also includes a content description for each course and instructions on how to use the system in coding courses.  

After completing a crosswalk between local district course codes and the Illinois Course Codes, districts will upload new course data elements linked to individual student records in the Illinois Student Information System (SIS) by July 31, 2011.

ISBE held an orientation webinar in early October to answer general questions and provide an overview of the process.  A final webinar was offered on November 16, 2010 to assist districts with additional questions regarding the Coding Project.
