Changes to the CCCApply Residency Logic
One of the changes made in release A change was made to the Area B residency logic in the CCCApply 6.7.0 impacts release to remove an unnecessary barrier for homeless applicants who have indicated that they have no permanent address or mailing address because they are currently homeless, yet in every other way they are otherwise legal California residents . Issue: Colleges have reported that many of their California homeless applicants are faced with undue burden because the CCCApply residency logic is determining they are not residents and must provide proof to support their California residency. This is happening because they are not entering an address in their OpenCCC account and/or a mailing address in the CCCApply application. The current CCCApply residency algorithm flags each instance where the address provided (or not provided) includes a state other than Californiafor tuition purposes. The fact that they are not providing an address is the reason they are getting flagged. From now on, California homeless applicants will not be flagged in Area B based on their address alone.
Legal Support: CCCApply worked with the Office of Legal Counsel at the CCC Chancellor’s Office to explore the best solution to this issue. According to the California Education Code, residency status for tuition purposes cannot be based on address alone. Therefore, If the
Solution: In this release (6.7.0) we have made an adjustment to the Area B residency logic so that it will only flag applicants who state indicate that their permanent address “state” and/or current mailing address “state” is not California AND they have not checked the box stating boxes indicating they are homeless. In other words, if the student has self-reported that they are homeless, the residency logic will not flag them for residencyNOT flag them based on the fact that their address “State” is not California.
An applicant’s address will only be used in the calculation of their residency status if they have left the “no permanent address homeless” and/or “no mailing address homeless” checkboxes EMPTY.
