Implement a Noncredit Intro Page

• The same Welcome page is used by the Standard and the Noncredit application paths.

Add a Noncredit Intro page (landing page) that appears when the user enters the application using the Noncredit URL. 

Add a new landing page for the Noncredit application workflow, with the following language:

Noncredit Application to College

Before applying to college you must first have an OpenCCC account.

The OpenCCC single sign-in account allows you to access the online services of the California Community Colleges.

OpenCCC is a service of the California Community Colleges Chancellors Office. The information in your account is kept private and secure.

Student User Story

Implement Ability to Specify which Majors Appear in Noncredit Application

Field: Intended Major / Program of Study

• Required field 
• Colleges configure custom Majors/Programs in the Administrator

• College Majors/Programs are the same across Standard & Non-Credit
• Currently there is no way to implement separate Majors menu/fields in the Standard & the Non-Credit;
• All Majors/Programs will appear in both apps

Need to display different Majors in the Noncredit Application 

The Noncredit application needs to display only the Majors/Programs of Study that are identified for noncredit applicants. 

Need to be able to differentiate between credit Majors and Noncredit majors in the Majors field

But still need to be able to display all majors

• Implement a tag/toggle in the "Add/Edit Major" modal that identifies if  a Major/Program should appear in the Standard App, the Non-Credit App, or Both apps.  otherwise it will NOT appear.
• Implement logic that will only display the Majors that have the Non-Credit tag in the NC App. (NOTE: This means that these Majors/Programs would also appear in the Standard, but would ONLY appear in the Non-Credit app)

"As a college admissions staff, I need the ability to identify/flag which Majors/Programs of Study should appear in the Intended Major/Program of Study field menu in the Standard application and/or the Noncredit application (either or both) so that noncredit students only see the programs that pertain to noncredit students."

Remove the Major Category Filter in the Noncredit App

• Optional field / filter
• Colleges add custom categories in the Administrator and tag Majors with them
• Category filter menu Only appears in the Applications if one or more Categories exist

• Currently there is no way to implement separate Category feature in the Standard & the Non-Credit;
• All Categories will appear in both apps

• Disable the Major Category filter in the Non-Credit App
• Basically, the "Non-Credit tag" toggle would serve as the filter in the Administrator.  
• Only the Majors/Programs with the NC tag will display in the "Majors/Programs" menu in the Non-Credit app.

Student User Story

"As a student enrolling exclusively in noncredit courses I should not have to select a major category in addition to a Major/Program of Study because the Noncredit application itself is a category."

Different Supplemental Questions in the Noncredit Application

• Optional; Supplemental Questions are not required to be used

• Colleges configure supplemental questions in an XML file and upload in the Administrator

• Colleges must configure the questions using XML code 

• Only one page of Supplemental Questions can be active and displayed at any one time

• There's no way to schedule when Supp Questions display; the display specs are set in the Administrator and it's either Active or Inactive

• Currently there's no way to separate or differentiate Supp Questions page for the Standard vs. Non-Credit applications; If one page is uploaded and enabled, it will appear for both applications by default;

Colleges need the ability to ask different supplemental questions of their Noncredit students.  

1. Best case scenario: College needs the ability to specify which application each question appears in (Standard, Noncredit or both)

2. Next best scenario: Colleges want the ability to display the same page of supplemental questions in both applications or not. 

3. At the very least: Colleges would rather have supplemental questions turned OFF in their Noncredit application if they can't have either of the other two scenarios. 

"As a college admissions staff, I need the ability to ask different supplemental questions in the Noncredit Application than we are asking in the Standard Application, (including some that are the same in both) in order to customize the user experience and collect specific responses from each student type with has different needs and requirements."
