All Changes At-A-Glance

Changes to CCCApply Applications

Below is a list of the change that affect all three CCCApply applications.

Changes to All CCCApply Applications

The most significant changes being implemented to the CCCApply applications are related to the redesign and integration of the new Edit Account Profile service, including the display, review and edit functionality that ensures the user’s account information is up-to-date and accurate as it is passed to the college through the CCCApply submitted applications.

These changes include moving the ability for users to view and edit their account information from inside the CCCApply applications to the My Applications page, the redesign and renaming of the Account Information page, and adding several account fields - which were removed from the OpenCCC Account Creation process - into CCCApply.

Warning BEFORE: The Old Account Information Page The Account Information page appeared in every CCCApply application, including the CCCApply International application and the CC Promise Grant application. The top section of the page - known as the Review OpenCCC Account Information - displayedtheuser’s existing account information details and a link to edit their account data as needed. Any edits made to their account information were stored and passed to the college with the application data at the time of submission.

Tip AFTER: The New Profile Page The previous Account Information page has been redesigned and is now called the Profilepage. The Profile page will now appear in every CCCApply application, including the CC Promise Grant. The Review OpenCCC Account Information section has been moved to the My Applications page. The Previous/Other Name Fields As part of the OpenCCC Account redesign, the “Previous Name” question (and all associated data fields) has been moved to the Profile page in all CCCApply applications. No changes were made to the data fields or the question format, conditions, or error validations.
