The Minnesota Common Course Catalog is a course classification system designed to provide uniform information about courses provided in Minnesota schools. The MCCC Course Record Extract collects course information for courses aligned to the MCCC.

Required Setup - Program Course Requirements

The course numbers entered here determine how the Grade Requirement Indicator field reports. Academic Programs must also have a Code of GRAD and be marked as State Reported.

Report Logic
All active courses that have SCED Subject Area and SCED Course Identifier Code populated on the Course tool in the selected calendar will appear in the report. Courses which have the State Exclude checkbox marked will not be included in the report.
These fields are set in the NCES Data section of the Courses tool.
Early Education Subreport
An Early Education subreport generates with records for each course when the following is true:
- Course has an SCED Course Identifier selected.
- Course has an SCED Subject Area of 81 or higher.
- Course is active (unless the Inactive Courses checkbox is marked).
If more than one record is found with the same State Course Code, the record with the highest courseID reports.
