AEBG - Changes to CCCApply
We received the following request from Kathy Booth, WestEd.Expand << I'm helping to lead a series of practitioners advisory committees for the Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) that are recommending ways to structure data and accountability reporting. It looks like the group is headed toward recommendations that CCCApply be modified to allow information to be captured on adult ed participants--but these changes may be needed for all CTE for Perkins reporting in the near future, so the impact may be broader.
Here's a brief write up on the topic that I'm working on--could you correct any factual inaccuracies and let me know if there's information you'd want me to share with the committee based on the likely response from the CCCApply Steering Committee, and your take on these requests?
* * *
The common application form for community colleges—CCCApply—is managed by the CCC Technology Center, which is a project of the Chancellor’s Office. A steering committee is used to consider requests regarding changes to the form, in concert with the project sponsors.
One of the primary recommendations in the three AEBG data and accountability meetings held to date would be that CCCApply offer a different set of questions for adult education applicants, using a branching question structure or a different version of the application. This would allow sensitive topics like citizenship to be avoided and for the form to be streamlined so that it only includes information that is relevant in the adult education context. CCCApply has already been working on branching solutions to address requests from other Chancellor’s Office funded projects, which could be built upon for AEBG.
However, some committee members have noted that the changes outlined below may become important for Perkins reporting for both noncredit and credit programs, once that funding source is reauthorized and aligned with WIOA. Therefore, the following additions may be needed across all versions of the form:
1) Amend the Personal Information section to include:
- if participants were employed/unemployed/unemployed 27 consecutive weeks of more at time of entrance
- ex-offender status
- seasonal farm worker status
- homeless status
- exhausting TANF within two years status
2) Amend the Higher Education Level question to include: College certificate >>

Update on Research Projects
- NEW: CCCApply Required Questions
Revisiting Noncredit Application issue) - CCCApply Research Projects 2017
- Student Satisfaction Survey Negative Comments (Cluster Analysis)
Results provide insights on improving application process
- Student Satisfaction Survey Negative Comments (Cluster Analysis)
- SPAM Fraudulent Apps (Machine learning)
Gathering data for Infiniti Analytics team and development of SPAM filter after move to AWS.
Two surveys have been completed (Pre- and post-WAF Blockers).
Data collected from colleges (bad application examples). All data and survey results passed over to internal data analyst. Setting up secure environment to analyze data (student pii).
Work required to support effort: Unblock IP Addresses; created problem when WAF installed (January).
Other Research Issues:
- Abandoned Applications Data - Breakdown by College
- Time to Completion Data
- Colleges are asking to have data drilled down for their colleges (Abandoned Applications). Resources are not available at this time. What can be shared?
- CCCApply Whitepaper - NOTE: No work has been done on the White Paper since early March due to vacations, the Annual Update Release, CCCApply Workshop, and other high priorities. Need to resume progress. Need volunteers.
Non-Credit Application Issues
Noncredit Sub-Committee
- Look at the new application for a better way to support noncredit students.
- What do we need to put right up front in the application to college?
- What do colleges want for noncredit students?
Name
Address
Phone
Email
That's it!
- What does the CCCCO require from noncredit students?

UPDATE 5.03.17: Steering leadership met on 5/3/17 to discuss noncredit issue. Sent Noncredit workgroup names to Stephanie on 4/27/17.
Team concurred that we need to revisit the application from the perspective "what can we do, if anything, to minimize the questions and length of the application from a legal requirements perspective?" We may come up with the same conclusion, but we need to revisit and ensure CCCCO knows we have heard their continued concern and are doing everything possible to respond.
Team looked at the Noncredit Report of June 2016 and determined that we need our own survey to gather feedback and requirements, needs from colleges for noncredit students. Team is working on questions for the survey now.
Team is condensing the work Patty did to outline all data fields/questions and corresponding legal requirements into an easy-to-read table (versus the large spreadsheet version we have now).
Team proposes we review the data analysis for Abandoned Applications and add summary of findings to the white paper.
Team is looking at the remaining work on the white paper and divvying up the work across Leadership, Mike Q., Patty, and any volunteers (volunteers?).
Propose drafting recommendations after another review of the questions/legal requirements for CCCCO. Show / demonstrate that any new findings would take time to implement in CCCApply 3.0.
New Change Requests
All rows highlighted in yellow are NEW changes. Some of these are on the change request survey (please review prior to meeting) and some will be discussed at the meeting.
Changes in Progress
A ticket has been created to add a "Confirm your Date of Birth" data field in the OpenCCC Account to help further minimize duplicate CCCID accounts. We will discuss this at the meeting.Future Meeting Schedule
