- Using the existing CCCApply standard application, remove all residency questions and other questions that are not required at time of application;
- Questions, language, and flow would be determined and approved through collaboration of the CCCApply Redesign Workgroup (CO) and other stakeholders (User Groups) and supported with recommendations from Ideas42 behavioral study);
Redesign Technical Options
Blockers & Issues to Proposed Changes
These are issues that will be raised to the CCCApply Steering Committee and the Chancellor's Office for legal opinion and approval. They need to be addressed before we can confirm the requirements.
Discuss that the language in AB3101 specifies that the Chancellor of the CCC has greater authority to determine how residency is determined for Non-Credit students, etc. Would this authority also allow the CCCCO to implement an "annual RDD date" or two "standard term start dates"?
Proposal: Petition the legislature to support a standard annual RDD (July 1). The benefits of this change
Discuss the fact that AB3101 does not address or provide guidance on how colleges are supposed to track and manage residency for a "non-credit" student who decides to cross over and take "credit" courses.
- Can they do that without completing the full standard application?
- Do students need to agree to "terms" that they understand the non-credit status?
Does CCCApply need to incorporate a disclaimer that non-credit students are completing the non-credit application?
Non-Credit
In order to comply with the new AB3101 - we’d need the legislation to address the following questions:
IF non-credit students are not subject to residency classification requirements:
- What is their official residency status?
- Are we allowed to automatically classify them as a non-resident, according to the law?
- What fees should they be charged?
- Non-resident or resident fees if taking credit courses at the same time or transitioning to credit courses?
- Are they allowed to transition to credit courses while they are taking non-credit courses?
- If not, would they have to re-submit an application before transitioning to credit.
- If we are not collecting residency for non-credit, how does this impact apportionment?
- ? Are Non-credit non-residents not included in apportionment?
Out-of-Scope for March Release
If the NC population does not need to be classified for residency, we can then remove all the RDD-logic questions from that special application.
Any question that begins with "As of RDD, what is your....?" we should replace that with the first day of the fiscal year?
"As of July 1st of this year, what is your...."
In-Scope for March Release
<non_credit>
<int_fg_81>
Discuss the need for Adding a new "flag" or field such as: <non-credit status = Yes{term_id} that would be included in the Noncredit application downloads to indicate the student applied using the Non-Credit Application during a specific term.
