CCCApply Residency & Legal Questions Review 

Citizenship

Status section label

1. Revise the "Citizenship"

1. section label to "Citizenship/Immigration Status" 

Minor:  Update the labels of data fields to include "visa/alien reg" because both of these statuses share the same data fields

PROBLEM: Students Coded as Non-residents in Error

In the scenario where a student is in the country but out of status or in the process of applying for residency

:

Problem: Students are getting coded as non-resident, when they are not. 

Get the wording to the emails from Larry at Crafton College - that explains process and coding. 

Using the language "you're a "possible resident" - here's what you need to do and/or submit to get through the process."

Anna from East LA College should lead the charge on the DACA inclusion

DACA Work Permits  - a lot of students have work permits

Add DACA value under the citizenship Crafton Hills College mentioned that by changing some of the language in their email messages (triggered by rules) they have resolved and/or avoided many of non-resident status determinations

DACA Work Permits  - a lot of students have work permits

Add DACA value under the citizenship status to the list
DACA students are allowed to establish residency with work permits.

A work permit itself does not denote residency

We don't have an option for C-33 which is a DACA. They have to come in and show us their Employment Authorization Card

Talk to the CO about adding DACA to the citizenship question; it is a legal status and we have to identify them somehow. 

Add DACA to Citizenship status 
Given a "Work Permit"

Most colleges are finding this out in the supplemental residency questionnaire.

If DACA is selected - C-33 Issue Date, Expiration Date, and whether it's a C-33 or not.

Text change - pretty easy to do this

*Note: someone noted that DACA students might feel targeted and won't want to feel l

Special Residency Questions

(Season Agricultural worker - statute & Title 5)

Keep the Foster Youth 
Keep the Homeless Youth 

These are special eligibility for non-residents. Only show these if they will be given 

Residency Area B: Stay & Intent

Area B: Stay & Intent

Move these questions up - directly under the "Have you lived in California for 2 years or more?"

Homeless question on the Residency page only appears if you are 25 years old or younger in CA

Homeless question in the Permanent Addres

Michael Q talked to Legal about self-certification in CCCApply for homeless youth - but they asked if we could solve it easier in new version of CCCApply. 

Add an option for Middle Schoolers to Last School Attended section to make it clear 

Add a new value for middle school (or lower grade than high school)

Add a response option to the HS Edu Level - for "I attended a grade lower than high school"

Change the label to "Last School Attended"

Add a new option to "Last School Attended" checkbox/button for "Lower grade than high school"

Ensure logic > do not display the School Finder 
Ensure logic > do not display Multiple Measure questions

New AB540 Eligibility includes middle school, Adult Ed, and more.  Very complicated and tricky.

Ed Code specifies that AB540 has to be a form, but Natalie said she would look into it - 

If CCCApply can specified in the law and will the CCCCO legal 

The current questions do not reflect the current statutory changes - these are not 100% complete
There is some Adult Ed, coursework, non-credit, etc. - so instead of complicating CCCApply further - but CCCApply could make students aware of AB540 and/or gets them to contact the Admissions Office

AB2365 - can't charge fees to dual enrollment

If part-time special admit and excludes non-immigrant would not apply (mandatory exemption)

Can we use CCCApply for AB540 self-certification?  It's a digitally signed (electronic signature) - 

The current AB540 law includes more than what we've been flagging students in Apply, 

If we move AB540 out of CCCApply, we could remove the two AB540 questions below the HS Comp Date - this would affect the AB540 logic 

But there is push back - many colleges use those two questions 

DON'T REMOVE THOSE QUESTIONS

Logic should be triggering better information on the Special Links & Opportunities (and Rules/Messaging) should be made more robust and comprehensive

Need to clarify this question text - we are currently asking for a specific day.  Do we need to do this? 

We ask for the day to identify students for residency - Do we need to ask for the DAY?  Just the Month & Year? 

First we ask for YEAR
If the year is within 365 days within the RDD, then branch to the Month 

default to June 1, and they could add the Year in?

If they are under 18 - ask them for the 

Area C: Military & Dependents 

Area D: Special Residency
