When NSS (the New Student Information System) is implemented for MCCCD, the format used for term numbering will change because the system only uses a four (4) character field to hold the data.  The following example shows how the term for Spring 2004 would be identified in NSS:

*Century number: 1900 =3, 2000 = 4, etc.

The following terms codes are used to identify the semester for which courses are offered currently in SIS (Student Information System), and will also be used in NSS (New Student Information System):

TERM CODES FOR SEMESTERS
    2 = SPRING
       4 = SUMMER
           5 = SUMMER II
6 = FALL

The following examples show how terms are identified in NSS:

Semester	Old SIS Term Number	NSS  (New Student Information System) Term
2004 SPRING	20042	4042
2004 SUMMER I	20044	4044
2004 SUMMER II	20045	4045
2004 FALL	20046	4046
2005 SPRING	20052	4052
2005 SUMMER I	20054	4054
2005 SUMMER II	20055	4055
2005 FALL	20056	4056
2006 SPRING	20062	4062
