Majors Module

A series of custom data fields configured by each CCC college for use in one or more CCC web applications.  The Majors module is accessible in the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 by an authorized college or district user.  From the CCCApply, or International, Administrator homepage, click on the "Majors" link from the modules menu bar.

Major Category Data Field

A new optional data field added to the Majors table in CCCApply. The data field <major_category> is a text field and the response options - which are determined by the college - are restricted to 100 characters each. There is no limit to the number of response options that can be defined for this field by the college. The data field responses/values, are configured in the CCCApply Administrator 2.0. The data field responses/values must be setup separately for CCCApply Standard and International applications.  When implemented correctly, the response options will appear in a new Major Category dropdown menu which will appear on the Enrollment page directly above the existing "Intended Major or Program of Study" menu in the CCCApply Standard, or International, application.

Major Category Filter

The dynamic display of the custom-defined response options that will appear in the Major Category drop down menu on the Enrollment page in CCCApply Standard, or International, application. When the Major Category data field is configured, the dropdown menu appears in the student-facing application as a filter,  prompting the applicants to choose a high-level major "category" before selecting a filtered major or program. Each response option that appears in the "Major Category" dropdown menu aligns to one or more majors or programs of study configured by the college.

IMPORTANT NOTES

• Custom categories are restricted to 100 characters each.
• No limit to the number of categories that can be defined and aligned to individual majors; however, every major should be aligned to at least one category.
• A category can be added, edited, disassociated, imported and exported in the Majors module in the CCCApply Administrator 2.0.
• Custom categories, also known as response options to the <major_category> field, are case-sensitive and must be spelled correctly and spaced consistently.
• If a category is accidentally misspelled, or if extra spaces are added, the system will consider it unique and will create a new category.
• Custom categories can be added to individual major records through the “Add/Edit Major” modal or through the "Import Majors" function.
• When adding custom categories manually through the "Add/Edit Major" modal - the user must click ENTER after spelling (case sensitive) the category correctly. Multiple categories can be added to the same Major, but the ENTER button must be clicked after each Category is entered.  
• If your college plans to implement the Major Category filter in both the CCCApply Standard application and the International application, you will need to set up categories for each application separately.
