The CCCApply Noncredit Application is LIVE and available to preview in the CCCApply pilot environment. Click here for links and implementation information

...

The passage of AB 3101 gave us the latitude we needed to deliver a modified version of CCCApply for our noncredit 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 noncredit students which began last fall 2018 has been bolstered by the passage of Assembly Bill 3101. The Noncredit Application Workflow path is a project of the CCCApply Redesign Project.

    • Uses the same Format Definitions XML file for specifying which data fields should be downloaded from the Standard Application Download Server

    • Uses the same Job XML file 

    • Uses the same Download Client that you currently have installed now

    • Uses the same Glue for CCCApply process that you currently have installed now (if applicable)

Differences Between the Standard Application & the Noncredit Application

Although there are very few differences between the Standard Application and the Noncredit Application, colleges that choose to implement the new Noncredit Application will have several required setup tasks, and should be aware of the following defaults and requirements.

Application URL

The Application Gateway to the Noncredit Application has a unique URL for each college based on their college MIScode.

TermsThe same

Terms are used in both applications.  Terms set up for the Standard Application will also display in the Noncredit Application. Terms can be configured in the CCCApply Administrator to display differently in each application.  An "Application Type" toggle has been added to the Terms table which allows the college to set for: "Standard"  or  "Noncredit"  or  "Both".

Intended Major / Program of Study

The "Intended Major/Program of Study" field may display can also display different majors/programs for each application. This is an available option for the college. A new An "Application Type" toggle has been added to the Majors table in the Administrator which requires the college to set a setting:  "Standard"  or  "Noncredit"  or  "Both".  Each major or program must be configured with one of the available settings. These are set up in the "Majors" module in the Administrator.

Read more about the rules and requirements for Majors in the "CCCApply Administrator 2.0 User Guide". (See more about setting up Majors for the "Noncredit Application Implementation Checklist" for instructions and requirements.) /wiki/spaces/PD/pages/758546724

Warning

REQUIRED:  New "Application Type" Toggle Must Be Set for Noncredit Majors/Programs of Study

If your college is planning to implement the Noncredit Application, you will be required to reconfigure all your Majors - for both applications - in order for them to display to end users.

must identify which application each Major/Program should appear in by setting the new "Application Type" indicator for each line item.  MUST manage their list of majors/programs of study in order for that field to be populated in the Noncredit Application.  that currently appears to end users in the "Intended Majors/Programs of Study" menu on the Enrollment page. Each major or program of study must be configured with an "application Type" setting  that currently appears in your Standard Application, as well as the Noncredit Application. During implementation, a college admin must login to the CCCApply Administrator (both for Pilot and Production environments) and specify whether each individual major / program of study should appear in the "Standard", "Noncredit", or "Both" applications.  This setup task is REQUIRED.  If this task is not managed correctly, NO majors/programs will appear in your Noncredit Application; thus, blocking your students from submitting their application.

Even if you plan to offer the same Majors/Programs of Study in both applications, you must set the Application Type setting to "Both" for each individual major or program.
