In order to connect our colleges with newer, faster, and more secure data delivery, CCC Technology Center has begun the process to phase-out the legacy CCCApply Download Client with the SuperGlue for Apply integrated framework. As of July 1, 2023, the Download Client will no longer be supported by the CCCTC.
As of July 1, 2022, any new CCCApply student application data will be delivered via SuperGlue only. The Download Client will still be able to deliver data, but any new data (including legislated/mandated data) added to the applications will not be added to the Download Client and will be available through SuperGlue only.
From now until June 30, 2022, only new legislated/mandated application data will be added to the Download Client. Any new, additional data fields that are not required by law will be available through SuperGlue only. Examples of this type of optional/informational data can be found in the Student Success Suite Release Notes in the Changes to Data Fields & Delivery section.
With the phase-out of the CCCApply Download Client starting on July 1, 2022, all new CCCApply student application data will be delivered via SuperGlue only.
Don’t Panic! The Download Client will still deliver data, but as of July 1, 2022, any new data (including legislated/mandated data) added to the applications will not be added to the Download Client and will be available only through SuperGlue.
This continues the phase-out plan for the CCCApply Download Client that was announced last year, and that began with the deployment of the Student Success Suite 1.0 student account system.

SuperGlue for Apply
In 2018 SuperGlue for Apply was deployed to colleges across the system. SuperGlue for Apply securely delivers CCCApply application data - in real-time - to a staging table in your college Student Information System (SIS) via the SuperGlue College Adaptor. Records include the entire CCCApply dataset, including the college's custom Supplemental Questions, and an unencrypted version of your AB620 data fields (Sexual Orientation and Transgender).
