The CCCApply Noncredit Application is LIVE in production 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.

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.

Product Description

The CCCApply Noncredit Application is a streamlined version of the Standard Application (for credit), with a unique, college MIS-code branded URL intended explicitly for students enrolling exclusively in noncredit courses. More like a "workflow" than a completely separate within the Standard application, the Noncredit Application uses the same underlying 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 has been implemented that will default to "True" for all applicants who enter the Standard Application via the new Noncredit applications submitted using the Noncredit application URL.

  • Shorter, more streamline version of the Standard Application workflow

  • Unique URL, customized for each college based on MisCode

  • In-Progress and submitted application Confirmation numbers are modified with a prefix: "NC-" (Example: "NC-794033")

  • Colleges have the option to display different may configure different Terms in the Noncredit application - with different start and end, open and close dates - if desired;

  • Colleges may configure different major categories and/or Majors/Programs of Study in the Noncredit Application (versus their Standard Application)Colleges have the option to display - with different start, end, open, and close dates - if desired

  • Colleges may configure different Supplemental Questions in the Noncredit Application (versus their than the Standard Application )- or none at all - if desired

  • Students that apply using the new Noncredit URL, certain data fields and actions flags will default to the following:

    • New "non_credit" status field = True

    • New "Integrity-flag-81" field is triggered = True

    • Residency Status field = "N"  (Null - a new value)

    • Residency Area status fields = "9"  (a new value)

  • Students that need to re-apply for credit courses after submitting the Noncredit application, will be allowed to submit a Standard Application for the same term, same college.

  • Students that find they need to re-apply for enroll in credit courses using the Standard Application (in the same term) after submitting the Noncredit application may/must submit a Standard Application for the same term but will only have to answer the questions that were hidden in the Noncredit application workflow

  • Auto-population functionality in the Noncredit application (this is consistent with the behavior experienced today in the Standard application. Reminder, this auto-population behavior is also true when applying to submitting subsequent year applications - for any term, at any college within 2 years of submitting a Noncredit Application). Auto-population functionality is still in place and will function as it does today.

Application URL

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

Terms

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 can also display different majors/programs for each application. 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 CCCApply Administrator. 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. 

Read more about the rules and requirements for Majors in the CCCApply Administrator User Guide

Warning

REQUIRED:  The "Application Type" Setting Must Be Set for Noncredit Majors/Programs of Study

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

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  During implementation, a college admin must login to the CCCApply Administrator (recommended in both for the 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.

Supplemental Questions

Colleges have the option to configure unique supplemental questions for each application (Standard vs. Noncredit). The process for configuring and uploading supplemental questions are documented in the CCCApply Administrator User Guide, as well as the Working with Supplemental Questions User Guide.
