SAM Codes (see CCC Chancellor’s Office Student Accountability Model Operations Manual, 1984) should be assigned as follows: Priority "A" – Apprenticeship: Courses designed for an indentured apprentice must have the approval of the State of California, Department
of Industrial Relations Department, Division of Apprenticeship Standards.
Priority "B" – Advanced Occupational: Courses taken by students in the advanced stages of their occupational programs. Courses should
be offered in one specific occupational area only. Priority letter “B” should be assigned sparingly; in most cases, no more than two courses in
any one program should be labeled “B.” “B”-level courses must have Priority “C” prerequisites in the same program area.
Priority "C" – Clearly Occupational: Courses generally taken by students in the middle stages of their programs should have a difficulty
level sufficient to detract "drop-ins." Courses may be offered in several occupational programs within a broad area. The "C" priority, however,
should also be used for courses within a specific program area when the criteria for "B" classification are not met. A "C"-level course should
provide the student with entry-level job skills.
Priority "D" -- Possibly Occupational: "D" courses are those taken by students in the beginning stages of their occupational programs. The
"D" priority can also be used for service (or survey) courses for other occupational programs.
Priority "E" -- Non-occupational.
