The “This information will be used for federal and state reporting” statement was removed because it has been added in a bullet to the top of the Demographic page under the page header. |

Instances of Help information implemented with hyperlinks (formerly called “pop-up” Help in the data dictionary) have been replaced with the more accessible Help icons to display when the icon is clicked.

CCCApply Download Client End-of-Life CycleIn FY2021-22, the CCC Tech Center began outlining steps to sunset the CCCApply Download Client as a supported data delivery service for the CCCApply applications. End-of-life activities include moving the Download Client to maintenance mode and communicating to colleges that all only new state legislative and MIS mandated data fields will be added to the Download Client moving forward. OpenCCC and CCCApply application data fields will only be delivered via the SuperGlue for Apply service. As a reminder, the CCCApply Download Client is backwards compatible and will still be able to deliver data for existing Account and CCCApply data fields. |
