Sophia Course Codes
The American Council on Education (ACE) may identify each Sophia course by two codes. The first code is the ACE ID number, which is the code that ACE internally assigns a course. These appear on the ACE website as SOPH-XXXX. Please note that Sophia does not typically use ACE IDs for courses.
The second code is the Organizational ID, which is the code that Sophia assigns to a course. These appear on Sophia's course syllabi as well as the ACE website. For example, Anatomy & Physiology I is listed as SCIE1050.
Keep in mind that these codes (ACE ID and Organizational ID) may not match your school's own code for a specific course. To best determine which course code your school uses, check out our partner pages or ask your school directly!
Course Code Changes
On occasion, Sophia Learning may update the Organization ID for some courses. Please refer to the linked page here to see any updates to course codes.
Referring to the ACE National Guide
In some cases, it may be helpful to use the ACE National Guide to look up past or present course code changes. To do that, go to Sophia's page on the ACE National Guide and click on a course. On the course page, you will see a dropdown menu next to the "Dates Offered" section. This menu allows you to look at information such as the Organizational ID for previous versions of the course.
