Release Summary

  • New Enhancement: Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees in CCCApply

User Information

The Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees enhancement streamlines the user interface and flow for applicants seeking to obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year university.

Implementation Notes

The new Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees filter is optional. Colleges are not required to implement the filter; however, enabling the filter does require some preparation and additional configuration of your CCCApply majors (and categories, if implemented) including setting an award type value each major and possible reformatting of your Majors CSV import file.


Feature Enhancement

New Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees

In support of AB-928: Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021, CCCApply has implemented a simple display filter to the CCCApply user interface that - if enabled by the college - will show applicants only associate degrees and transfer degree programs based on their education goal selection. In Phase 1, the education goal that triggers the display filter is “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”. By hiding programs that do not lead to a degree and/or transfer, the student will be able to focus on the Majors and categories that align with their goals.

How It Works for Colleges

Colleges have the ability to enable/disable the filter in the CCCApply Administrator at any time via checkbox added to the Majors summary page. By default the filter will be disabled, allowing colleges as much time as necessary to prepare their majors and categories before enabling the filter (reminder: major categories are optional).

When enabled, the display filtering of the majors is based on the Award Type value set and the Education Goal option selected by the student. That’s really it.

If enabled - and if the applicant selects the ed goal option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution” - only the majors (and categories) that have one of the following award types* values set - to the applicant in the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down:

  • AA_T = Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer

  • AS_T = Associate of Science Degree for Transfer

  • AA_degree = Associate of Arts Degree

  • AS_degree = Associate of Science Degree

Note: Majors display to students alphabetically based on its major description <major_description> defined by the college. Major descriptions can be edited at any time. If the filter is enabled and the applicant selects the Education Goal menu option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”, the majors (and categories, if implemented) with one of the specified award types* will be included in the list.

Note

See the links below for preparing your majors and categories for the filter and steps for testing your filter configuration. Colleges are encouraged to reach out to Enabling Services for assistance following the Pilot release for implementation documentation and assistance configuring their Majors for the filter.
