Earlier this year the Chancellor’s Office announced a series of changes to the MIS data reporting requirements and the CCCApply Steering Committee met with them to discuss which of them, if any, directly affect CCCApply.
Below is the detail from the memo dated March 02, 2018 issued from Todd Hoig, Director of Information Systems - with highlights in Purple showing the data fields that affect CCCApply.

SB23 STUDENT-APPRENTICESHIP-STATUS has been amended
Info |

- This data will not be collected through CCCApply.
SB34 STUDENT-CCC-ID has been added
Info |
---|
- The CCCID field <ccc_id> already exists in the CCCApply data download files and appears for reporting in the CCC Report Center. If your college isn’t already downloading this field, please refer to the CCCApply Standard Application Data Dictionary and the CCCApply Download Client User Guide for details on how to add this field to your application-specific Format Definitions XML files.
SB35 STUDENT-SS-ID has been added
Info |
---|
- The SSID field <ssid> is not collected in the CCCApply application; however a data sharing agreement exists between the CDE and CCCApply in a post-submission matching process. This means that after a student submits their application, the post-submission service interacts with the CDE system and attempts to make a match. If a match is made, the CCCID is exchanged with the SSID; however, currently the CCC Technology Center is working with the CDE to amend the agreement to allow colleges to have access to that information which is not currently included in that agreement. We will keep the colleges updated on the status of this amendment.
SB36 STUDENT-TRANSGENDER has been added

- The Transgender field <transgender> is one of two fields added to CCCApply in 2013 as part of the AB620 federal legislation. The field was encrypted as a security precaution, but now is being made available to colleges for reporting purposes in two specific ways:
1) Colleges can download the data field by way of the new phased-approach process of integrating CCCApply with Project Glue for CCCApply, which uses the College Adaptor (Project Glue) 2.5 to facilitate integration of application data with your college’s student information system (SIS). Implementing this special

The intent of the Project Glue Support for CCCApply project is to securely deliver in real time CCCApply records into a staging table in the College SIS via the Glue College Adaptor. Records will include the entire CCCApply dataset, including the college's custom Supplemental Questions, and unencrypted AB620 data fields: Sexual Orientation and Transgender. Implementation of this delivery will require data to be stored in an encrypted database table at the college.
We foresee colleges using this dataset in two possible scenarios:
Scenario 1: College Continues to Use the CCCApply Download Client as well as the College AdaptorIn this scenario, your college can continue to use your existing CCCApply Download Client (DL Client) workflow to download and process new applications without disruption to existing business processes. The college then uses the new College Adaptor dataset to join AB620 data fields via the Application ID (app_id) to applications downloaded through the Download Client, for storage in your SIS for MIS reporting purposes.
...
Scenario #1 can also be seen as the first step in a phased-approach to adoption of the College Adaptor (Project Glue) for real-time integration of your CCCApply data with your SIS.
Scenario 2: College Discontinues using the CCCApply Download Client and adopts the College Adaptor (Project Glue) 2.5 for real-time integration with your SIS
In this scenario, your college would discontinue using the CCCApply Download Client and work with the CCC Technology Center to implement the College Adaptor (Project Glue) 2.5 for real-time integration of your CCCApply dataset with your college SIS. The college would work with the CCC Technology Center to point their post processing scripts at the new secure staging table and adjust their CCCApply scripts to consume the newly delivered CCCApply dataset, storing the data in the college SIS or preparing the necessary files for upload.
What is Project Glue?
The CCC Technology Platform (Project Glue) is the integrations framework for the products of the California Community Colleges Technology Center (CCCTC). Project Glue integrations facilitate data exchange between the system-wide products built by or purchased by the CCCTC for the California Community Colleges system. This includes the following applications:
Canvas Webapp
My Path Enterprise Student Portal
Career Planning Systems
Multiple Measures Student Placement Platform
CCCApply
California Promise Grant Application (BOG)
Accessing Your CCCApply AB620 Data for MIS Reporting
Colleges can obtain their students’ unencrypted AB620 data for MIS reporting in real-time through the CCC Technology Platform’s (Project Glue) College Adaptor. The College Adaptor Release 2.5 supports the Glue for Apply project to securely deliver in real time CCCApply records into a staging table in the College SIS via the Glue College Adaptor. Records will include the entire CCCApply dataset, including the college's custom Supplemental Questions, and unencrypted AB620 data fields: Sexual Orientation and Transgender. Implementation of this delivery will require data to be stored in an encrypted database table at the college.
