The “term start date” is used to determine the residency determination date (RDD) in the CCCApply Standard Application (only), which is the day before the first day of the term (Start Date), for each term configured by the college. The RDD is used extensively across the CCCApply application to identify data fields/questions that are used in the residency algorithm to determine the “preliminary residency status” for the student upon submission of their application. See the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application Specification and Data Dictionary, “Appendix A: Submission Calculation Logic & Residency Algorithm" for details. |

CCCApply vs. International Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and then select International from the Applications drop-down list, the major you just defined for the CCCApply Standard application will not appear in the Majors table for the International application. If you want a given major to be available on both applications, you must create it separately for each application. Or, you may import the major (or list of majors) into both applications (i.e. you can create majors in one application, /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724, and then /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724 export those majors, and then import those majors into the other application).
CCCApply vs. Noncredit Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and you want that major to also display for the Noncredit application, you will want to select Both from the Application Type drop-down list in the Major dialog box when manually creating a major. Otherwise the major defaults to Standard application display. As with the International application, you can choose to import the major (or list of majors) into both applications.

The Major Category filter can be implemented for the CCCApply and/or the International applications, but must be configured for each application separately. |
Implementing the Major Category Filter
You can implement the major categories /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724 manually or, more efficiently, by /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724 importing them. Colleges must define their list of major categories and then align those categories to each major or program of study for their college.
To get started colleges should complete the The Major Category Implementation Worksheet, which provides a comprehensive step-by-step guide for setting up the Major Category field in CCCApply.
Disabling the Major Category Filter
The Major Category filter in CCCApply and/or International can be turned off by removing all custom categories created in the CCCApply Administrator’s Major module Categories field for every major. Once all Categories values for all majors are removed the Major Category drop-down list will not display in the CCCApply and/or International application. The Intended Major or Program of Study drop-down list will revert back to displaying the full list of majors and programs in alphabetical order (by Major Description).

Configuring the English Proficiency Section
The English Proficiency module is where you configure the English proficiency section displayed on the International Application for your college, indicating the proficiency types that can be selected, whether score fields display, and low/high scores required for your college.
...
8. When you select a Yes radio button to require the score field to appear if the proficiency type is selected, the Low and High score fields become enabled and allow you to enter a low and high test range for that particular test that are accepted by your college.
...
Configuring Application Rules
The Rules module is where you create and configure automatic actions that run when a student submits an application. You can also edit and delete rules. You can apply rules to either the CCCApply or International application (rules are not applicable for the CC Promise Grant application).
When you have an active rule in place for either of the applications, any normal application field calculations occur prior to the rule running, so that the rule can validate correctly against accurate data.
Rules Module Basics
Creating rules for the CCCApply and/or International application involves selecting application fields to be used as rule triggers; if using multiple rules, configuring the order in which each rule executes; for email rules, selecting the message that will display; and, finally, writing the rule itself and previewing it for accuracy.
...
Email Rules | Error Messaging Rules |
---|---|
A customizable email can be sent to the student and/or to a college staff member upon application submission, depending on how the student filled out the application. Note: This requires a message be created in the /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724. | The application can be validated for specific errors and its submission prevented along with immediate messaging indicating to the student the remedy so they can correct and re-submit the application. Note: You do not need to create messages for rules that report an error to the user in the application. Messages for error rules are entered directly in the rule definition itself. |
Warning |
---|
Adding a Rule around a Boolean Field When adding or editing a rule that includes a boolean field, there should be no quotations around the values: true, false or null. This applies to ALL boolean fields. For example: if (dsps == true) OR if (athletic_interest == false) See the rule examples provided in the Reference tab of the Rule Preview box for more examples. |
Adding a Rule
Use the following steps to create a new rule.
...
Enter (or copy/paste) the following rule text in the Rule field:
if(ssn == null)
{
error("Warning: You must provide your social security number to apply for financial aid. Please confirm this is your intent.")
}Note that the keyword “error” is followed by a parenthetical statement consisting of the error message text you want to display based on the “if” condition.
Click Check & Preview to validate the rule and to display any parameterized fields.Select the Null check box to display a preview of the error message:
Note that the Rule Preview shows (Nothing) since the conditions for the warning message to display are not yet met (i.e. snn == null).Select the Null check box to display a preview of the error message:
Once you’re satisfied with your rule’s preview, click Save to save the rule. The Add Rule dialog box automatically closes and your saved rule displays in the Rules table.
After a caching delay of 30 minutes you can then submit a test application in your Pilot environment that meets the requirements for triggering the error message in order to test it and see the result.
For a student who has not provided their SSN number in their CCCApply application the following error message displays when they click Submit my Application:

Editing a Rule
Use the following steps to edit a rule.
Select the Edit icon on the row for the rule that you want to edit.
This displays the Edit Rule dialog box.Make your edits and click Save to save your changes. The Edit Rule dialog box automatically closes, and focus returns to the Rules table.

Note: You do not need to create messages for rules that report an error to the user. Messages for error rules are entered directly in the rule definition itself. See the Rules module for more information. |
Creating a New Message
Uset Use the following steps to create a message in the Messages module.
Log into the CCC Administrator -> CCCApply Administrator.
If you are a multi-college district, select the college for which you want to configure messages from the Select a college drop-down list. If your college is not in a multi-college district your college displays by default.
Select either CCCApply, International, or CC Promise Grant from the Applications drop-down list, depending on which application you want to create messaging for.
Click the Messages link to display the Messages Summary table.
Click Add Message to display the Add Message for <Your College> dialog box where you can define the message.
