Student-Teacher-Course Connection Overview

Course Catalog Connection

The Arizona State Course Code Catalog enables schools to align locally developed courses with a standardized statewide coding system while retaining local course titles. This framework supports alignment with the Arizona Academic Standards, as required by A.R.S. § 15-701. The catalog also supports Local Education Agencies (LEAs) in implementing standards aligned curricula from birth through grade 12 and in meeting State Board of Education requirements, including minimum high school graduation requirements outlined in rule R7 2 302.

Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs must meet the following conditions:

  • Instruction by a properly certified CTE teacher
  • Adequate facilities
  • Delivery of approved CTE technical standards

All CTE programs require approval from the Arizona Department of Education’s CTE Division (A.R.S. §§ 15-782, 15-782.01).

2025-2026 State Course Catalogs

Make sure you update your student information system (SIS) and map your district/school’s course codes to the ones in this year’s state catalog. Click on the appropriate link below to download the latest information in your preferred format, either PDF or Excel. You must utilize courses that are in the 2025-2026 State Course Catalog, as it is connected to AzEDS via Student Teacher Course Connection (STC). If you submit a course that is not in the State Course Catalog, it will cause validation errors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Question: Why use the course catalog connect connection?

Answer: The STC initiative originally addressed data system requirements from the America COMPETES Act that had to be fulfilled as a condition for funding received by our state and schools through the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) and Title XIV of the ARRA, known as the State Fiscal Stabilization Fund (SFSF).

Designed to meet these requirements, STC links students and teachers to individual course sections. With this program, districts and schools have richer data to inform key instructional decisions that affect the academic success of their students, while administrators have access to better information to enable them to more effectively support the relationship between individual student success, teachers, and courses.

Question: How do I submit my district or school's courses into AzEDS?

Answer: Schools and districts no longer need to upload STC data to SRM (State Report Manager) or meet submission deadlines. Once courses are mapped to the state catalog in a student information system, the information is submitted along with all the other data submitted via AzEDS.

STC Data Submission Steps

  1. Update your SIS
    • Map local course codes to the ones in the State Course Catalog.
    • Ensure ‘Educator Stakeholder’ ID is a valid ID from Teacher Input Application (TIA, previously HQT) and does not include any extra characters (sixteen (16) numeric characters only)
  2. Allow STC data to be submitted to AzEDS along with all the other data.
  3. Use AzEDS reports to verify that your STC data has 'landed' and has passed integrity.

Submitted STC data must pass various integrity checks. Click here to view the AzEDS STC Integrity Rules. Further information regarding STC data and the submission process can be found on the AzEDS site.

 Question: When will the new school year catalog be available? 

Answer: Course codes are expected by mid-May, and no later than early June.

Question: How are online and honors courses differentiated in the course catalog?

Answer: Honors courses use the same standards as on-level academic courses, but with more rigor. As such, they do not have a different course code.

Question: What course codes do I use for my special education class?

Answer: Special education does not use distinct course codes; instead, services are delivered through specially designed instruction tailored to a student’s disability and aimed at supporting progress in the general education curriculum.

Question: How does teacher certification relate to the course catalog?

Answer: Teachers must be appropriately certified and highly qualified to teach a course. Schools and districts submit data to the Teacher Input Application by October 15th attesting to the position, grade taught, etc. If the system determines a teacher is not appropriately certified, the LEA must send a letter within four weeks to alert parents.

Question: I no longer see my course code in the catalog, what do I do?

Answer: Courses are updated annually. If your course is no longer available, please select the course code that most accurately reflects the standards taught in the course.

Question: I received an error message while trying to submit my report, what do I do?

Answer: Please consult the AzEDS Reference page. Use the AzEDS Reference Guides and/or the AzEDS Accountability STC Integrity Rules document. If the issue remains unresolved, submit a support ticket or email [email protected] for further assistance.
