Change Requirements

1. The CCCApply Standard Application should be used for all students: Credit and Non-Credit
   
   
2. Revise the CCCApply Standard application to include two workflow paths, one that determines residency (Standard Credit) and one that is exempt from residency determination (Non-Credit)
   The two workflow paths would be:
   
   
1. Standard Credit Path (includes residency determination) - For students seeking college credits for courses taken at a California community college. 
   For all intents and purposes, this is the current Standard application - including all existing logic, services, field and error validation, pre- and post-submission services and processes (no change to the residency algorithm submission calculation service). 
   To comply with AB3101, some questions/fields in OpenCCC and the Standard Application will be removed, revised, or hidden via skip logic, in order to ONLY collect data that is required by the federal government, state law, or that is otherwise required during the application process. These changes will be specified in a separate change request(2018-38: Questions to be revised or removed to comply with AB3101)  
   
   
2. Non-Credit Path: (does not include residency determination) - For students seeking to enroll exclusively in career development and college preparation courses, and other courses for which NO credit is given, this "path" is a variation of the Standard Application - accessed from a separate, unique URL - that uses skip logic to hide pages and questions, and collects only the data required by the federal government, state law, or that is otherwise necessary to uniquely identify the student during the application process. 
   
   To comply with AB3101, this path will bypass/exempt the student from residency determination, including the residency submission calculation service,  and only display a set of questions that are required by the federal government, state law, or that are otherwise necessary to uniquely identify the student, during the application process.
   
   
3. The Standard "Credit" path is the Standard Application and will not change in this implementation 
   1. If the applicant intends to enroll in one or more college credit course(s), they will use the existing college-branded application URL (or the generic, unauthenticated version via MyPath).  and complete all questions required to determine California residency; and questions required by the federal government, state law, and other necessary requirements; 
   2. The Standard "Credit" workflow path will not change how it calculates the residency status implemented today;
   3. The Standard "Credit" workflow path will not change any post-submissions processes, web services, calculations (residency, AB540, financial aid) etc. 
   4. NOTE: All proposed changes to the Standard "Credit" path will be detailed in (2018-38: Questions to be revised or removed to comply with AB3101)
      
       
4. The Non-Credit path SHOULD include the following questions required by state, local & federal mandates, as well as questions required to identify the student
   1. All questions in the OpenCCC Account will be required in order to identify the student at the college, for OpenCCC account creation (CCCID) and account recovery, for federal IRS requirement
   2. All questions on the Enrollment page (Term, Ed Goal, and Major) will be required 
   3. All questions on the Account Info/Mailing page will be required - including the "Dependency Status" (Minors) question
   4. All questions on the Education page will be required*
   5. The "Programs & Services" checkbox section on the Needs & Interests page will remain
   6. All questions on the Demographic Information page will be included
   7. All questions on the Review, Consent & Submit page would be required
      
      
5. The Non-Credit path SHOULD NOT include the following questions required exclusively to determine residency, or that are not required at the time of application
   
   1. The Citizenship & Military page will be hidden from the applicant completely - (all questions on the Citizenship & Military page)
   2. The Residency page will be hidden completely from the applicant - (all questions on the Residency page)
   3. The following questions should be hidden from the applicant on the Needs & Interests page:
      1. Main Language section: Are you comfortable reading and writing English?
      2. Financial Assistance section:
         1. Are you interested in receiving information about money for college?
         2. Are you receiving TANF/CalWORKs, SSI, or General Assistance?
      3. Athletic Interest set of fields:
         1. Are you interested in participating in a sport while attending college?
            1. Yes, I am interested in participating in one or more sports, including the possibility of participating of playing on an intra-collegiate team.
            2. Yes, I am interested in intramural or club sports, but not in playing on an intercollegiate team.
            3. No, I am not interested in participating in a sport (beyond taking a P.E. classes).
               
               
               
6. Revise the Residency Status field and other specified residency logic changes
   
   1. To comply with the new residency exemption for Non-credit students in AB3101 - revise the Residency Status field to include a new value for "exempt" status
   2. Add a new value to the Residency Status field <res_status> for the "non-credit / exempt" status (= exempt from residency determination) TBD
   3. Suggestion: Add a value to the existing download values <res_status = N  or = 0 (zero)>
   4. Ensure all applicants via the "Non-Credit Application" default to the exempt status

1.  Add a new Integrity Flag (81) for "Non-Credit / Residency Exempt"-
   1. Upon submission of application, IF "Non-Credit Status" = Yes (or indicates the student was exempted from residency determination) then set new flag 81 on Table G
   2. Flag 81 will indicate that the res_status field is set to "non-credit/exempt" value
      
      
2. Implement logic to allow a student who has submitted a non-credit application to re-apply to the same term, same college using the Standard Application one time, if they plan to transition from NC to Credit status or if they plan to enroll in one or more "for credit" courses
   NOTE: Current functionality restricts applicants from submit more than one application to the same Term at the same college. However, for this NC application proposal to work, we'd need to change the restriction and allow this process (be able to submit another application).
   1. Implement logic in CCCApply to allow a non-credit student ONLY to re-apply (submit another application) to the same college for the same Term in order to transition from "Non-Credit" status to "Credit" status (in order to change their intention to exclusively enroll in non-credit courses - or enroll in one or more "for credit" courses).
   2. Logic should be in place to prevent a duplicate status from being submitted (for example, if the first application was for Non-Credit, they should only re-apply as a Credit status)
      1. A full breakdown of use cases has been compiled to ensure functionality is in place- 
      2. Don't allow a duplicate Credit application to be submitted 
   3. Implement ability to change the "Non-Credit Status" value in the <res_status> db
   4. The response to the qualifying question will set the student on the standard credit workflow path, displaying all 
   5. The re-application will require the student to answer required questions to determine residency, but will auto-populate all previously submitted responses during the non-credit path
