Existing California education code law requires residency determination for every student at the time of admission to a California community college. However, the recently passed Assembly Bill 3101 (AB3101) waives residency-determination for  mandates that students seeking to enroll enroll exclusively  in career in career development and , college preparation courses, and other courses for which no credit is given from community college residency other non-credit courses would be exempt from residency classification requirements.

In order for CCCApply to serve all students, the online application is being updated to:

titleCCCApply Redesign Project

The passage of AB 3101 gave us the latitude we needed to deliver a modified version of CCCApply for our non-credit student population. Lifting the requirement for uniform residency determination for all students allows us to look at other questions and steps that might be omitted at the time of application. Our goal is to find balance in what is asked of the student that is applying for college while still collecting all of the information required for state and federal reporting purposes.

Info
The CCC Chancellor’s Office is driving changes to ensure CCCApply supports students through the community college application and enrollment process, and is targeting development and implementation of the redesigned system in fall of 2019. Activities such as reducing the number of questions in CCCApply and creating a simpler application for non-credit students which began last fall 2018 has been bolstered by the passage of Assembly Bill 3101. The Non-Credit Application Workflow path is a project of the CCCApply Redesign Project.

Product Description

The CCCApply Non-Credit Application is a streamlined, residency-determination-free version of the Standard Application, with a unique, college MIS-code branded URL intended explicitly for students enrolling exclusively in non-credit courses. More like a "workflow" than a completely separate application, the non-credit application uses the same infrastructure as the Standard Application - but without the residency questions or the residency algorithm.  The residency status field will automatically default to "N" and a new "non_credit" flag will default to "True" for all applicants who enter the Standard Application via the new Non-Credit URL. 

Non-Credit Application: Key Characteristics

  • Shorter, more streamline version of the Standard Application workflow
  • New URL created for the Non-Credit Application workflow (every college will have a custom URL)
  • In-Progress and submitted application Confirmation numbers are modified with a prefix: "NC-" (Example: "NC-794033")
  • Students that apply using the new Non-Credit URL, certain data fields and actions will default to the following:
    • New "non_credit" status field = True
    • New "Integrity-flag-81" field is triggered
    • Residency Status field = "N"  (new value)
    • Residency Area status fields = "9"  (new value)
  • Students that need to re-apply for credit courses after submitting the Non-Credit application, will be allowed to submit a Standard Application for the same term, same college
  • Students that need to re-apply for credit courses using the Standard Application after submitting the Non-Credit application will only have to answer the questions that were hidden in the Non-Credit application (this is also true when applying to any term, any college within 2 years of submitting a Non-Credit Application). Auto-population functionality is still in place and will function as it does today.
