What changes need to be implemented in CCCApply?
To comply with the new bill, the CCCApply Standard and Noncredit applications will need to be updated to identify these students* and capture their enrollment status (SB15) and their education level (SB11), as well as several other question changes and validity checks. All changes would be made to the Education page.
User Interface changes:
- Enrollment Status
- Add a new response option to the Enrollment Status question, "Enrolling in adult school / continuing education (or noncredit program) and college at the same time"
- Add a corresponding value to the <enroll_status> data field for the new response option
High School Education Level
Add a new response option to the High School Education Level question, "Will be enrolled in adult school/continuing education (or noncredit program) and college at the same time"
Last High School Attended
Revise the question label from Last High School Attended to Last School Attended
Change the field format from a radio-button field to a drop-down menu, and
- Add a new response option, "I attended an adult or continuing education school"
Data field, logic, and validation changes:
In addition to user interface changes, these and several other dependent fields on the Education page will need to be updated to correspond with the new response options.
What other dependencies are there?
- Ensure the School Finder includes California and national adult education, noncredit, and continuing education schools with corresponding CDS/CEEB codes;
- Ensure the HS Transcript Information section is considered
- Notify the SuperGlue team
- Notify the Data Warehouse team
- Ensure all data documentation is updated accordingly
When do these changes need to be implemented?
SB554 takes affect on July 1, 2020. According to Raul A. and Devin Rodriguez, these changes should be implemented as soon as possible; however, based on current CCCApply release schedule, they are aware that these may not be able to be deployed until the next major CCCApply release (6.8.0) tentatively scheduled for September 2020.
MIS recently announced the changes they'll be implementing to comply with SB554 (see
Add a new value to the College Enrollment Status question in CCCApply to represent students who are concurrently enrolling in an Adult school and college.
Work with MIS to determine what the response option value should be for MIS reporting purposes
Talk to Apply dev team to determine restrictions / validity checks for response option value
Work on expanding the CDE schools subscription to include California adult schools ( https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/ae/ds/ )

Confirm what we are going to call the new "Adult Special Admit" response options - consistently - in the application (which does not have to be the official field value used by MIS).
- Enrollment Status (SB11): What language do we want to display to the user in College Enrollment Status? (Again, this language does not have to match what the college sees for mapping for MIS reporting. Should fit (not too long) and be clear and unambiguous.
- Enrolling in adult school and authorized as a special part-time college student
- Enrolling in adult school and authorized to enroll in college at the same time
- Enrolling in adult school or continuing education/noncredit program and college at the same time"
- Enrolling in adult school and authorized to enroll in college at the same time"
- High School Education Level question (SB15): What language do we want to display for this new option in the HS Education Level field? (Same as above, doesn't have to match MIS language as long as it maps correctly).
- Currently enrolled in adult school and authorized as a special part-time community college student
Display conditions & field validation
- Currently in Enrollment Status, the "Enrolling in high school or lower grade and college at the same time" (AKA - K12 Special Admit) does NOT appear if the user is 22 years or older (per SB11).
- Minors: Is there regulations for the Adult Special Admit? Like, can minors be enrolled in Adult school? Should minors see the new response option? Is there an age limit for Adult Special Admits?

SB11
Integrity Checks:
- If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 7YYYY, 7XXXX, 8YYYY, 8XXXX, (indicating a degree), then SB15 must not be coded as “1” (first-time student).
- If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 10000 (special admit K-12), then this field must be coded as “Y”.
- If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 21000 (Adult Education Special Admit student), then this field must be coded as “Y”.
Data Quality Check:
(SB15) Enrollment status for CREDIT students must have: At least 50% coded “5” (continuing). 10% or less coded “X” (uncollected / unreported / unknown).
SB15
Coding
1,2,3,5,Y,X
Meaning
First-Time Student = 1 A Student enrolled in college for the first time after High School. The first time a student enrolls in a primary term, this element should be coded as '1', even if the student was previously enrolled in a summer or winter intersession. For example, if a student enrolls at the college for the first time during a summer term and subsequently enrolls during a fall term, the student should be coded as '1' for both terms.
First-Time Transfer Student = 2 A student enrolled at the reporting college for the first time and who transferred from another institution of higher education.
Returning Student = 3 A student enrolled at the reporting college after an absence of one or more primary terms.
Continuing Student = 5 A student enrolled in the current session and was enrolled in the previous regular session.
Not Applicable Y A Special Admit student (see Student Education Status SB11).
Uncollected / Unreported= X Uncollected / Unreported / Unknown
This element may be coded with "X" if a student is enrolled in only noncredit courses.
Change History:
Revision: Summer 2020 Updated meaning for code “Y” and referential edits related to new SB11 value ‘21000’ (Adult Education Special Admit student)

Hello Folks, During a meeting last week, a question came up regarding dual enrollment students utilizing DSPS services. Currently, the DSPS department has students enroll in a non-degree applicable course (EA-907), which allows the student to schedule meetings in the DSPS office throughout the semester to complete learning disability testing. Current policy does not allow dual enrollment students to enroll in non-degree applicable, or non-college level courses. Since the EA-907 course is not degree-applicable, my first thought is we shouldn’t allow dual enrollment students to enroll. However, this course is used as a means of providing DSPS services to students. Education code 48800 states the “school district may determine which pupils would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work.” The term “advanced scholastic” is what concerns me as the non-degree applicable course would not fit into this category. That being said, can students who are enrolled with DSPS, and who are dual enrollment, enroll in a non-degree applicable course if the course is used to assess DSPS needs? Hi Larry, This is an interesting question. We allow high school students to take non credit classes (there’s ed code that supports this but I can’t lay my hands on it at the moment). We do NOT allow high school students to take non transferable credit courses based on ed code. And our AEC (Accessible Education Center aka DSPS) does not allow high school students to participate in AEC classes because the thought is that they are receiving services/learning evaluation from their primary high school. AEC would help the high school students receive accommodations in any college classes they were taking, based on the IEP from the student’s High school. The premise of college classes not “supplanting” what is available to high school students through their high schools is the guiding force for us. Candice Whitney, M.Ed., M.A. Registrar/Director of Admissions & Records Candice Et Al, Thank you all for the feedback. Linda Vann from the CCCO replied directly to me with some of the same information regarding the students receiving those services at the high school. Below is a copy of what I sent to her in my response, which may muddy the waters, but also help clarify my question. Let me muddy the waters a little more by altering the scenario. New legislation allows students attending an Adult School enrolled in a program leading toward a high school diploma or certificate of proficiency, to enroll in courses at the college as a dual enrollment student. Thus, these students would not be charged enrollment or non-resident fees, which is a big deal since a lot of our adult learners may be undocumented. This is actually where the question came from. Can an adult learner, who is attending courses as a dual enrollment student, enroll in a non-degree applicable course if it is used for LD testing? In this scenario, the student may not have testing options at the high school because they are not enrolled in a high school, and as such, may not have an IEP or 504 plan. However, since they are admitted to the college as a dual enrolled student, they must abide by all requirements of the dual enrollment program. This is why I posed the question a little more generic because it could be an issue for high school students, but the original scenario that prompted the question was regarding adult learners attending an adult school as dual enrollment. Now that I’ve muddied the waters a bit more, do you have any thoughts or suggestions? |
Hello,
Here is an update for you.
On SB 554, we are currently working with MIS on an update to identifier SB 11, in order to track adult students. In addition, we are working with CCCApply with regards to the blocker that is currently in place that does not allow a special admit student to be over the age of 22. Once we have these issues addressed a guidance memo will be released.
Regarding AB 1729, legal is currently working on a legal opinion for dual enrollment and we are in discussion about what the content will include. We hope to have the legal opinion by the end of the month and then can issue the guidance.
Best regards,
Linda Vann, MBA

FW_ SB 554 MIS Changes Discussion.pdf
Hi Raul,
I believe we can amend our SB11 STUDENT-EDUCATION-STATUS specification to allow districts to report adult education students enrolled as special part-time students as allowed by SB 554. We currently allow districts to report education status for students who are not high school graduates as “Not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in high school”, “Special Admit student currently enrolled in K-12”, or “Currently enrolled in adult school”. If we need to be able to differentiate students who are in adult education programs and participating in special admit as provided by SB 554 from those students who are in adult education programs and enrolled in community college but not as special admit students, we can add a new code for SB11, such as “Currently enrolled in adult school and authorized as a special part-time community college student”
For example, the current SB11 STUDENT-EDUCATION-STATUS coding specification for non-high school graduates…
Not A High School Graduate | |
00000 | Not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in high school |
10000 | Special Admit student currently enrolled in K-12 |
20000 | Currently enrolled in adult school |
would become…
Not A High School Graduate
MIS | MIS Values | Apply Value | CCCApply <hs_edu_level> response options | CCCApply Conditions / Logic |
00000 | Not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in high school | |||
10000 | Special Admit student currently enrolled in K-12 | Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time | Only displays if applicant is under 22 yro at RDD | |
20000 | Currently enrolled in adult school | |||
21000 | Currently enrolled in adult school and authorized as a special part-time community college student | TBD |
Do we need to continue to allow reporting for adult education students who are not authorized as special admit students under SB 554?
