Production Release Fix Made to the Term “Application Type” Issue The previously reported issue regarding open Terms with an “application type” set to “Both” (Standard & Noncredit applications) has been resolved in the production release. The Ed Goal/Majors filter should now work correctly with all Terms table settings. |
User Information
The Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees enhancement streamlines the list of majors and major categories for applicants seeking to obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year university.
Implementation Notes
The new Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees filter is optional. Colleges are not required to implement the filter; however, enabling the filter does require some review and possible additional configuration of your CCCApply majors (and categories, if implemented) to ensure the appropriate award type value is set for each major. To turn on the filter for your college, please contact CCCTC Staff Support at staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com.

Feature Enhancement
New Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees
In support of AB-928: Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021, CCCApply has implemented a simple display filter in the CCCApply user interface that - if/when enabled by the college - will only show applicants your associate degrees and associate degrees for transfer programs based on their education goal selection. In Phase 1 of this implementation, the education goal option that will trigger the filter is the first one in the drop down, “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”. By hiding the programs that do not lead to an associate degree and/or degree for transfer, the student will be able to focus on your available majors and categories that align with their goals.
The filter is designed for the CCCApply Standard application only at this time.
How It Works for Colleges
Colleges can request to enable/disable the filter through the CCC Technology Center. By default the filter is disabled, allowing colleges as much time as necessary to prepare their majors and categories the filter is enabled on their behalf.
When enabled, the display filtering of the majors is based on the Award Type value set and the Education Goal option selected by the student. That’s really it.
If enabled - and if the applicant selects the ed goal option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution” - only the majors (and categories) that have one of the following award types* values set - to the applicant in the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down:
AA_T = Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer
AS_T = Associate of Science Degree for Transfer
AA_degree = Associate of Arts Degree
AS_degree = Associate of Science Degree
Note: Majors show listed in the application by its major description defined by the college. Major descriptions can be edited by the college at any time. If the filter is enabled and the applicant selects the Education Goal menu option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”, only Associate degrees and Associate Degrees for Transfer (grouped together, listed alphabetically) will be included in the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down list.
