Info

Designed in part to address the requirements called out key legislation passed in Assembly Bill 3101 - the new CCCApply " Non-Credit Application " path is a streamlined , "residency-free", version of the Standard Application, free of residency questions, with a unique, college MIS-code branded URL explicitly for students enrolling exclusively to support students planning to enroll 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 questions, logic, and services (residency submission calculation service) of the "for credit" application. 

  • short, streamline
  • No residency questions, pages, and logic*
  • exempt from the submission calculation service (residency algorithm) including integrity flags, residency area statuses, "residency determination free"

  • The driver behind the CCCApply "Non-Credit" Application is AB3101 - which grants residency exemption for exclusively non-credit students


    The application workflow was developed to address the legislation introduced in AB3101 calling for a residency-determination exemption for students who are enrolling exclusively in non-credit courses.
    To comply with AB3101, this path does not include pages, questions, field logic calculations that determines residency status, including the residency submission calculation service,  and will 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.


  • The CCCApply Standard Application is used for Credit and Non-Credit applicants
    The CCCApply Standard Application is used for all students: Credit and Non-Credit


  • The Non-Credit Application is really just a "workflow variation" of the Standard Application 
    The "Non-Credit Application" is really a workflow variation of the Standard Application - for all intents and purposes, this IS a custom version of Standard Application - residency free version - does NOT determine the residency status of the applicant.

  • NO custom administrative configuration for the Non-Credit Application - Not a separate application - It is a special workflow within the Standard Application
    This means that the "Non-Credit Application" uses the same/cannot have different:  Terms, Majors, Rules, Supplemental Questions - or any other admin configurable components 

  • DIFFERENT URL for the Non-Credit Application  (NC workflow is within the Standard Application BUTit  has a unique URL to trigger the Non-Credit workflow)
    The "Non-Credit Application" workflow has a unique URL - in order to distinguish this variation from the Standard "for Credit" application.
    The new URL template is:  http://<college_domain>.<environment>.openccc.net/apply-non-credit
    Example: Bakersfield College:    http://bakersfieldcollege.ci.openccc.net/apply-non-credit

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.

Important Things Colleges Should Know:

  • The Non-Credit Application IS the Standard Application; it's basically one and the same EXCEPT:
    • The NC application has a separate, unique URL (front-door) which is the main identifier/indicator that the application is not a "standard" Standard Application and does NOT include residency questions, pages or logic
    • The NC application does not go through the Submission Calculation Service (residency logic) and does not deliver a <res_status> residency status - this will be a blank or Null value in the download file
    • The NC application does not include the Citizenship/Military page or the Residency page - all these fields will either be blank or Null in the download files and in the Report Center
    • The NC application does not 

  • The Non-Credit Application IS the Standard Application; it's basically the same application including: 
    • Uses the same admin configuration setup in the CCCApply application in the Administrator that the Standard Application uses, including Terms, Majors, Rules, Supplemental Questions, Reset Downloads, etc.
      • Admin configuration for the Non-Credit Application is the same as the Standard Application
      • There is no separate admin confirmation for the NC Application -
      • The NC Application is the same as the Standard Application in many ways:
        • Same UI look & feel
        • Same college branding
        • No separate implementation/on-boarding process 
        • Same Admin, Report Center, Download Client, Download XML files 
      • This means - there are no unique Terms, Majors, Rules, SQs, etc. for the Non-Credit Application
    • Uses the same reporting tool, CCC Report Center, and the same Public report templates created for the Standard (Submitted Applications) 
      • Colleges will login to the Report Center and can run reports on Non-Credit Application using their existing user accounts for the Report Center 
      • Colleges can run reports on NC applications using the same Views, Reports, and data fields as the Standard (Submitted) Applications folders
      • A distinguishing factor is the Confirmation or App ID numbers

      • Uses the same Format Definition XML
      • Uses the same Job XML file
      • Based on the same set of data fields used in the Standard Application 
      • The only different is that SOME of the data fields will not deliver values because those pages/questions are hidden in the NC application
    • Uses the same data field sets as specified in the CCCApply Standard Application Data Dictionary

  • The NC Application uses the same 

  • NC Application goes through all the same post-submission web services and processes that the Standard App does EXCEPT THE RESIDENCY Submission Calculation Service
    • Does use: Spam Filter
    • Does use: CDE, CCGI, other post-submission services
    • Does use: 

  • Colleges can identify NC applications from Standard Applications in the following ways:
