• Revise the Residency page layout:
  • Move the Special Residency section below the Out-of-State Activities section (swap positions)
  • Move the Out-of-State Activities section up directly under the California Residence questions;
• Add skip logic to the Out-of-State Activities questions to Show/Hide specific Special Residency questions as needed

Currently the Special Residency section includes five required Yes/No questions for all users and appears in the middle of the Residency page between the California Residence section and the Out-of-State Activities section. In this position in is not possible to implement skip logic to Show/Hide only those questions required for residency determination.

The new order of sections on the Residency page layout:

1. California Residence section (no changes to questions)
2. Out-of-State Activities section (with added skip logic to only Show specific Special Residency questions as required based on the user's previous responses;
3. Special Residency section - with specific questions hidden by default.  

This data field now allows Null value and default is set to False

This is a layout change and there are no changes required by the college 

• Hide the Public School Employee question in the Special Residency section for all users by default;
• add skip logic to only display if user has out-of-state activity within last 2 years

Display logic: Display and require response if user responds "Yes" to one or more of the Out-of-State Activities questions and the activity happened within 2 years of RDD.

Revise the layout of the Residency page  

Reorder the questions and sections on the Residency Page for all users

• Switch the positions of the Special Residency Categories section and the Out-Of-State Activities section.

Currently the layout of the Residency page places the Special Residency section in the middle between the California Residence and the Out-of-State Activities sections. This layout prohibits the ability to implement skip logic to streamline the experience for CA residents.

The new order of sections/questions on the Residency page is:

1. California Residence section (no changes to questions, fields, or logic)
2. Out-of-State Activities section 
3. Special Residency section - with specific questions hidden by default.  

This is a layout change and there are no changes required by the college 

1. (with added skip logic to only Show specific Special Residency questions based on the user's Out-of-State activities and the most recent year is within 2 years of the RDD.

Hide three questions in the Special Residency section by default for all users

• Public School Employee 
• State College Employee 
• Seasonal Agricultural Worker 

Add logic to Show the three questions as a group if user selects one or more Out-of-State activities and the most recent year is within 2 years of the RDD.

The Special Residency section now only displays the Homeless Youth Status and Foster Youth Status questions to all users with all existing validation and logic in place. 

If user selects (checks) one or more of the "Out-of-State Activities" with the most recent year of activity is within 2 years of the RDD, then the three hidden special residency questions will display as a group and responses will be required.

Note: The Homeless Youth and the Foster Youth questions ALWAYS display and each requires a response by all users.

College needs to be aware that this field will now allow a null

Note:  In 2018, only 1% of all applicants responded Yes to this question.

Revise the "Out of State Activities" Section by combining four separate, required questions into one optional question with skip logic to shorten the Special Residency section

Combine the four current "Out-of-State Activity" questions into ONE new question, and change the format of the response options from required, Yes/No radio buttons and set the default to "No".

Currently, the "Out-of-State Activities" section consists of four separate, required, Yes/No questions with conditional "Year" fields that appear if the user answers Yes to any of the specific questions.

The new "Out-of-State Activities" section now contains one question (onscreen text) with four optional checkbox response options (the original four OOS questions, revised).  

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

[checkbox]  I paid taxes outside of California

[checkbox]  I registered to vote outside of California

[checkbox]  I declared residency at a college or university outside of California

[checkbox]  I filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California

All existing data fields would persist (no change to data output, downloads, etc.)

There is no change to the text, conditions, logic or data fields for the four, corresponding Out-of-State Activity Year fields section/questions. 

The four Out-of-State Activities questions/fields are now optional (responses are no longer required by default) and the data fields will now accept Null or blank. 

Hide the College Education Level and 
Colleges/Universities Attended questions on the Education page by default for all users

Add logic to the College Enrollment Status question to only show college sections if the user is NOT a first-time in college after leaving high school

The College Education Status and Colleges/Universities Attended sections/questions will not display on the Education page unless the user indicates they have attended one or more colleges in the past.  

If the user selects "first-time in college after leaving high school" option in the College Enrollment Status question, do not show college questions and default field value to Null.
