Below is the Q&A from the CCCApply Noncredit Application Webinar (June 27, 2019).

How do we get access to see the one for our specific college?

Great question. Noncredit Application URLs are unique to each college MIS code and branded with each college's unique logo. Each college has a URL for the Pilot environment and one for the Production environment.

...

Is (the Noncredit) application available for use now?

Yes. The new CCCApply Noncredit Application is now officially live in production (released on Friday, June 28, 2019). 


Info
Comment from attendee: "By the way, this new application looks great! I like that it's shorter and less intimidating for students."


How do (students) we access the non-credit application from the college application? How do (applicants) pick the credit vs non-credit?

This is a good question. 

Is (the Noncredit) application available now for use?

Yes. The CCCApply Noncredit Application was officially released to the production environment on Friday, June 28, 2019. The application has been available in the Pilot (preview) environment since March 16 and was updated with the priority enhancements on May 31, 2019. 

See CCCApply Noncredit Application URLS for your college's branded URL.

What if we have O[used in-house application? Shall we continue using that or just go with the CCCApply noncredit application?

...

one for our specific college?

Each college has a unique URL for each CCCApply environment: Pilot (preview and testing) and Production (end-user version).  Application URLs are based on your college MIS code and branded with your college logo in the banner.  CCCApply recommends a full, end-to-end setups in both environments and conduct full testing of your downloads before going live to students. 

See CCCApply Noncredit Application URLS to obtain your college's custom URLs.

How do (students) access the non-credit application from the college application? How do (students) pick the credit vs non-credit?

CCCApply does not distinguish noncredit students from credit students. The Noncredit Application URL includes a flag that triggers theWe believe that each college will decide how best to implement this application into your existing Admissions processes. Each college is free to post their Noncredit Application URL in any way that works best for your program, such as:

  • Posting the URL on your Admissions & Records web page with instructions best for your processes

What if we have our own in-house (noncredit) application? Shall we continue using that, or should we go with the CCCApply noncredit application?

The Noncredit Application is optional - colleges are not required to implement this workflow path. The application is designed to be an enhancement to the Standard Application, providing a residency-question-free, online alternative to your current Noncredit paper applications (or home-grown online applications). 

The benefits of using the CCCApply version include:

  • Easy set up! The Noncredit App workflow is built into the CCCApply Standard Application; thus leveraging your existing end-to-end Standard Application implementation.
    • Uses the same admin configuration (terms, majors/programs, rules, messages, etc.)
    • Uses the same download client and XML files (or SuperGlue integration) already in place for your Standard Application
    • Uses the same report templates as the Standard Application in the Report Center.
    • Staff use their existing Admin & Report Center user accounts         
  • Short & Sweet! Students can complete the application is 5 minutes
    • All residency-specific questions have been removed
    • Optional Needs & Interests page/sections
    • Auto-population from any previously submitted applications
  • Easy Transition from Noncredit to Credit!
    • Students can submit a Standard Application for the same term at the same college if they find they need to take a credit course(s)
    • Auto-population streamlines the process on the second application (students only have to answer residency questions previously hidden in the Noncredit application)

Info

CCCApply recommends that colleges complete a full, end-to-end setup of the application in both environment: Pilot and Production, and test thoroughly all the way to your downloads. Implementation support is available from the CCCTC Enabling Services division. To schedule a kick-off call, please contact your Enabling Services CRM at crm@ccctechcenter.org.  Implementation documentation is available online in the Noncredit Application Implementation Home.





Is term setup (handled) the same as College Credit (the Standard Application)?

...


(H)ow often is the list of CEEBs and (CDS) HS updated in the system?

CCCApply maintains a school “look-up” feature as part of CCCApply. This allows students to select a High School or previous College and automatically the CDS and CEEB code attach to the application record, thus the code(s) becomes part of the download file imported into a College’s SIS application. 

CCC Technology center receives updates every 4-6 weeks. These files are uploaded to the database quarterly, then accessed by students during the application process.

Regarding Latino ethnicity list, why countries are being considered ethnic groups instead of just country of origin?

The Student Equity Planning work of the past several years and the Chancellor’s Vision for Success has resulted in a system-wide focus on closing equity gaps. The new Race & Ethnicity question and layout changes was based on the work resulting from that research from 2018. At this time, the Chancellor's Office will oversee approval on all changes proposed to this section (in conjunction with federal requirements).
