Problem Statement or Business Need

Per Vice Chancellor Omid Pourzanjani, questions MUST be removed from the CCCApply application in order to make it shorter. The CCCApply Redesign Workgroup has been meeting bi-weekly since June 1, 2018 to determine how to 

NOTE:  Patty to send Omid all information available on the SSN revision per IRS mandate from 2015.  Ask Tim if we have any information on specifically which department at the IRS did the language come from?

Questions to be removed from the CCCApply Standard Application:

College Enrollment:

Change order of the response options in the drop-down menu, putting "enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time" first (1) in the order of four. This was discussed at the CACCRAO 2018 A&R Directors Training session (9-18-18) with Sonja Horn (Yuba), Brian Dean (Citrus/Cypress? (add values to the High School Education Level and rename the question (only) Highest Education Level. 

College Attended - add skip logic to only display if user has logical College Enrollment Status. If displayed then remove the a"Attendance From" and "Attendance To" fields from display. 

From Citizenship Status - add DACA value to the field response options

Update the logic in the Enrollment Status field to HIDE the College Education & Colleges/Universities Attended sections IF user selects:

  • 2  = Transfer student from another college

  • 3  = Returning student to this college after absent for a main term

CONTINUE BELOW

Here's the logic that should be implemented across the responses:

1  = First-time student in college (after leaving high school)

  • Hide College Education & Colleges/Universities Attended fields (Col1-4)
  • Keep all other existing logic

2  = Transfer student from another college  (Keep existing logic)

3  = Returning student to this college after absent for a main term (Keep existing logic)

Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time

  • Keep all other existing logic

HS Education Level

<hs_edu_level>CHANGE
  1. Change the label for this question to: Highest Education Level
  2. Combine the HS Ed Level response options with the College Education responses into one field (This would require No back-end changes - it would all be front-end changes) All values would continue to map to their current data fields
    1. There are three fields currently that are populated from two current onscreen questions (HS Education Level & College Education Level):
  • <hs_edu_level>
    • <higher_edu_level>
    • <highest_edu_level>

Revise the conditions and logic to only display the response options that align to the college enrollment responses, such as:

  • If the <enroll_status> = 1 or = Y, THEN only display these options:
  • If the <enroll_status> = 2 or = 3, THEN display all the response options:

    Move the logic from College Education to this question -

    IF user selects:

    Associates Degree, THEN display the Colleges Attended (college_count) and all the corresponding logic (i.e., display Col1-4 fields depending on number selected in college count. 

    None because there will be no change to the data output to the colleges - we are just combining two fields into one (removing College Education Level dropdown from the application)

    Revise the conditions and logic to only display the response options that align to the college enrollment responses, such as:

    If the <enroll_status> = 1 or = Y, THEN only display these options:

    1 = Will be enrolled in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time
    2 = Currently enrolled in adult school
    0 = Not a graduate of, and no longer enrolled in high school
    If the <enroll_status> = 2 or = 3, THEN display all the response options:

    Applying to a term that begins after they graduate (or equivalent) should be advised to read and understand the <RDD> carefully and answer questions according to that date and not the current date, which is a common oversight.

    Used in AB540 Waiver algorithm.

    Home schooled students are not eligible for the AB540 exemption if instruction was provided by a tutor or other person (including the student’s parents) who did not have a valid California teaching credential, or was not affiliated with a state approved home-schooling program.

    From CCCCO Legal Advisory 07-01: “Home schooling is instruction by a tutor or other person (including the student’s parent) who does not have a valid California teaching credential.

    Local high schools are charged with determining whether to accept home schooling as valid attendance. Therefore, community college districts that are asked to consider home schooling as high school attendance for purposes of granting the exemption should confer with the public high school the student would have attended if not home schooled. If that high school accepts or would accept home schooling as valid high school attendance, the community college should also accept it for purposes of assessing whether the student can demonstrate three years of high school attendance.”

    Notes:

    This question replaces the “more than 4 colleges” checkbox in Xap CCCApply. It allows CCCApply to display the exact number of Colleges Attended question blocks needed and to require that all are filled in.

    Information about colleges attended is sorted as follows:

    The number of College/University question sets that will appear depends on the response to Number of Colleges Attended.

    If the Number of Colleges Attended is ‘5ormore’, we probably want to insert instructional text after the Number of Colleges Attended question. This text would tell the user which colleges to list: most recent; most significant; anything as long as the highest degree is included. To minimize redundancy, this document provides tables for the College/University 1 question set only. For College/University 2, College/University 3, and College/University 4,everything is the same as for College/University1 except:

    •     Wherever it occurs in the tables, “College/University 1” will be replaced by “College/ University 2”, “College/University 3”, or “College/University 4” as appropriate.

    • The question set for College/University 2 will appear when Number of Colleges Attended is ‘2’, ‘3’, ‘4’, or ‘5 or more’.
    • The question set for College/University 3 will appear when Number of Colleges Attended is ‘3’, ‘4’, or ‘5 or more’.
    • The question set for College/University 4 will appear when Number of Colleges Attended is ‘4’ or ‘5 or more’.

    Sorting Colleges Attended:

    When there are two or more colleges, they can be listed in any order by the applicant. However, in the database they will be sorted and saved in order of attendance, with College/University 1 the most recently attended. The primary sorting date will be Attendance Ended; the secondary sorting date will be Attendance Began. If two or more colleges have the same Attendance Ended date and the same Attendance Began date, it doesn’t matter which comes before the other in the sorting.

    Note:  In the Xap system, once the Education page has been completed, the schools are resorted on the Education page to match the database sorting. It does not matter whether CCCApply does this. However, if CCCApply does resort the Colleges Attended list, to prevent confusing situations for the user, the sorting should not occur until the page is completed (i.e., sorting should not occur when the page is saved but not completed).

    Problem Statement or Business Need

    The recently passed Assembly Bill 3101 (AB3101would exempt a student seeking to enroll exclusively in career development and college preparation courses, and other courses for which no credit is given, from community college residency classification requirements.

    AB3101 calls to revise the [CCCApply] process so that only data that is required by the federal gov, state law, or that is otherwise necessary...be collected during the process.

    And...to the extent that data can be collected from the student at a later time, to delay the collection of that data until after the student has applied to a community college.

    [AB3101] would exempt a student seeking to enroll exclusively in career development and college preparation courses, and other courses for which no credit is given...from community college residency classification requirements.

    The application therefore needs to be updated to streamline the application process to exempt non-credit students from the residency determination, and only collect data that is required by the federal gov, state law, or that is otherwise necessary at the time of application.




    CCCApply Proposed Solution

    Below is a running list of changes to be made, and/or questions to be removed or revised, in the Standard Application by the CCCApply Redesign Workgroup - in order to meet the requirements of AB 3101.

    REVISE

    Revise the format of the four "Out-Of-State" questions from four separate Yes/No radio button questions with conditional "Year" field to one question and change the radio buttons to checkboxes and set the default to "No".

    In effect, this removes three questions from the application.

    "As of <RDD minus 2 years>, have you engaged in any of the following activities? Check each activity that applies." 

    •  I paid taxes outside of California
    •  I registered to vote outside of California
    •  I attended a college or university outside of California
    •  I filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California

    This set of questions is required to determine residency.

    Account / Mailing Information3

    Simplify the Account Information/Mailing page by hiding OpenCCC Account Information for first time applicants that just created their OpenCCC Accounts

    1. Zip up the 'Review OpenCCC Account' section on the Account Information/Mailing page in CCCApply and hide behind a new button "Edit OpenCCC Account" with clear language that explains the action
    2. This implementation should only appear IF the applicant just created their account and was auto-directed into the application after creating their Account. 
    3. This new format should NOT appear if the applicant had already applied before (to any college) and already had an OpenCCC Account
    4. The new format is similar to the solution employed for the "Hide the Review Application Page behind a button" in the 6.2.0 release, this change would hide and simplify the process for first time applicants.

    Research "Last HS Attended" section - Workgroup/Omid believes that section should also be conditional and per MIS requirements that I've seen, if the student is over age 25 (22?) then they are not "required" to provide details of their last high school, such as CDS code, name, address, city, state Zip (maybe State).

    ACCOUNT1

    Collaborate with the OpenCCC  Redesign project team to itemize all fields that are proposed to be removed from OpenCCC Account creation because they will need to be added to CCCApply (BOG and/or International) because all fields are currently passed through Account to the application (merged) for download. Also any fields that are added to OpenCCC Account that may need to be downloaded by Apply should be considered.

    Questions for the OpenCCC Redesign team:

    • What is the overall vision for the new OpenCCC redesign?
    • How will the new OpenCCC interact/integrate with CCCApply applications?
    • How will Edit Account functionality be handled in the new design?
    • How will data fields be passed from new Account to Apply?  Same way? > merge data fields to Apply apps - be affected by the Redesign?
    • Will the redesign consider all current functionality designed to streamline the transition between account creation and application? Such as:  Auto-direct from Account Creation to the enrollment page in the Application(s)?
    • Auto-population from Account data? Opt-in consent? 
    • My Applications link to Edit Account?

    Add Questions Removed from OpenCCC System Into CCCApply

    NOTE:  The OpenCCC Redesign project is happening and currently requirements are being gathered to completely redesign this front-load/front-facing account system to be more utilitarian towards authentication/authorizatIon than PII / Directory information data collection  If the new OpenCCC design requires the removal of many of the existing personal information fields (Previous Name fields, Preferred Name fields, SSN, DOB, Main Phone, Second Phone, Perm Address, Homeless checkboxes, etc.) then we need to redesign the Account & Mailing Info page to accommodate all of these fields because they will need to move added to the application proper.  

    This is a significant change to our existing configuration and would require - I believe - approval by the Advisory Committee (Steering), the Workgroup, and CCCApply.  

    Further, any new fields added to Account that need to be added to Apply - such as additional consent to release OpenCCC data (maybe) or other new fields, may need to be added to the Applications downloads.
