Feature Enhancement
New Education Goal/Majors Filter for Associate Degrees
In support of AB928 AB-928: Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021, CCCApply has implemented a simple display filter to in the CCCApply user interface that - if/when enabled by the college - will only show applicants only your associate degrees and associate degrees for transfer degree programs based on their education goal selection. In Phase 1 of this implementation, the education goal option that triggers will trigger the display 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 a an associate degree and/or degree for transfer, the student will be able to focus on the Majors 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 have the ability can request to enable/disable the filter in the CCCApply Administrator with the new checkbox added to their Majors summary pagethrough the CCC Technology Center. By default the filter will be disabled which will allow colleges the time necessary to review and prepare their existing Majors and categories (if implemented) before enabling the filter. 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 assigned to each Major value set and the Education Goal option selected by the student. That’s really it.
If enabled - and if the applicant selects the education ed goal option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution” -the filter will only display the Majors majors (and categories) that have one of the following award types and will display them alphabetically in the order below* values set - to the applicant in the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down:
AA-_T_degree = Associate of Arts Degree for Transfer
AS-_T_degree = Associate of Science Degree for Transfer
AA_degree = Associate of Arts Degree
AS_degree = Associate of Science Degree
Note: Majors display to the students alphabetically based on the “major description” configured for them by the collegeshow 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”education goal, the Majors will display alphabetically within each award type, in the order specified above.
, 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.
