...

The Supplemental Questions module allows colleges to add additional questions to the CCCApply applications their CCCApply application(s) that will display on a single page in of the specified online application. Supplemental Adding supplemental questions are an is optional configuration and not all colleges use them.

...

Supplemental questions are written in XML and validated with XSD. See the Working with Supplemental Questions guide for details on configuring the contents of the questions file and how they relate to your student application.

Note

Noncredit Application: It is optional to implement supplemental questions for either the CCCApply Standard or Noncredit applications. However, if you decide to implement the optional Noncredit application for your collegeask supplemental questions in the Standard application, there are certain steps that must be followed for implementing the supplemental questions.questions in the Noncredit Application.


Below is a screen shot showing some sample questions that could be configured by your college. CCCApply supports a variety of different question types including checkboxes, Yes/No, dropdown menus, state or country code, phone numbers, secret (secured), and text input field questions.

...


Use the table below to determine how best to implement Supplemental Questions vis-a-vis the CCCApply Standard application and the Noncredit application.

If you:

Then:

Do not want to implement Supplemental Questions in either the CCCApply Standard OR Noncredit applications...

Do nothing. Do not upload any Supplemental Questions XML files for either application.

Don't currently implement Supplemental Questions but want to do so for either the CCCApply Standard application OR the Noncredit application or both...

You will need to:

  • Create and import one XML file for each application (i.e. one XML file of Supplemental Questions for the CCCApply Standard application and one XML file of Supplemental Questions for the Noncredit application); and

  • In the XML file for the Noncredit Application's Supplemental Questions: 

    • Add the ApplicationType attribute to the SupplementalQuestions element in the XML file and set it to "Noncredit" 

  • Then import for the Supplemental Questions XML file for each application in the CCCApply administrator.

Already have the Supplemental Questions implemented in your CCCApply Standard application...

Those CCCApply Standard application Supplemental Questions will continue to display for your CCCApply Standard application.

If you want to also implement the Noncredit application and include Supplemental Questions in it, you will need to import a separate XML file specifically for the Noncredit application that includes the ApplicationType attribute set to "Noncredit" as mentioned above.

The easiest way to implement supplemental questions for your Noncredit application is to export your existing CCCApply Standard application Supplemental Questions XML file, edit it as you wish, add the ApplicationType attribute as mentioned above, save the file with a new name, and then import it. You will then see active Supplemental Questions for both your Standard and Noncredit applications.

...

Warning

Warning: Your import file must contain all of your supplemental questions, not only those you want to add. Do not import a file that contains only the questions you wish to add to an existing set of questions. This will cause all of your the existing supplemental questions to be over-written. Instead, export your existing supplemental questions to a file, add your new questions to that file, and then import it.
