CCCApply Administrator 2.0 Upgrade
...
- The new CCC Administrator is now the gateway to the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 tool for California Community Colleges Admissions and Financial Aid staff users - passing authentication and authorization to admin configuration settings for the CCCApply Standard, International and CC Promise Grant (BOG) applications.
- This means that all users will have new URLs - and an additional step in the process - to get to their CCCApply Administrator tool through the CCC Administrator (for Pilot & Production environments).
| Note |
|---|
...
College users will also have new URLs to the CCC Report Center for Pilot & Production; however, for this release, the Report Center service will maintain its own URL separate from the CCC Administrator gateway. |
- The Pilot URLs will be provided to colleges when they work 1one-on-1 one with the College Support Services team to ensure user account authorization is verified and tested. To schedule your 1one-onone-1 one session with College Support Services, please complete this Google Form and designate a staff representative to work with us as soon as possible..
