System Technical Upgrade

This effort upgrade will improve account recovery performance in our student account system, and support faster, more efficient troubleshooting and bug fixes across our support channels and Help Desk. Most importantly, and this effort better secure secures and safeguard safeguards our systemwide applications and services.

This upgrade also allows us to maintain the system on a recurring basis to take advantage of new features and enhancements, and to avoid issues that can arise from running older versions.

Support for IDme Verification Status Change Data

Part of the system upgrade included includes several enhancements to our IDme Identity Verification Integration that will enable colleges to track students' student verification status changes over time. A set of new status change data fields and timestamps have been added to the post-submission Apply data that can be accessed by colleges in a newly updated version of the IDme Verification Status Change Report and - , following an upcoming Superglue version release - , can be delivered directly to a dedicated staging table.

Colleges may request access to their the IDme Verification Status Change Report by contacting CCCTC Staff Support at staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com.

Note: The ‘pilot’ initial version of the status change report was put on hold in September 2024 due to a dependency on this OpenCCC 2.4.0 production release of OpenCCC 2.4.0 - to ensure data accuracy and the delivery of account profile event notifications.

• Account Issue for Students with Common Names: A fix was made that was preventing some students with certain common capitalized first and last names from creating their OpenCCC accounts.
