Announcements

Note

OpenCCCApply Release 6.1 - Rescheduled to October 27, 2017

In order to align with dependencies for the new Administrator 2.0 application, the CCCApply Release 6.1.0 has had to be pushed back to October 27, 2017 - 6:00PM.

We'll now have to announce that the Administrator for Apply is also pushed to March 2018. 

NEW!CCC Administrator 2.0 Launch - Delayed for CCCApply Until March 2018

The new CCC Administrator 2.0 is currently under-development. The original timeline prioritized CCCApply to be the first integrated application; however, due to an accelerated priority to expedite Canvas LMS integration, the application launch will feature the Canvas functionality.  The CCCApply integrated screens - which will fully align with the CCCApply Standard, BOG, and International applications - will be rescheduled to March 2018, as part of the 2018 Annual Update. A formal communication plan will be published outlining dates and processes for migration of data, college previews, support processes, and posting of new documentation.

Report Center Upgrade - Coming Fall 2017

2017 Roadmap Update: CCCApply is planning an upgrade to our current version (6.1) of the Jasper Business Intelligence software in the CCC Report Center this Fall.
Project Plan: Working with our AWS DevOps team, we'll be moving to the AWS TIBCO Jasper subscription version and deploy the latest supported version to the development environment (CI) by the end of August. Migration of the data and college artifacts, as well as the custom configuration enhancements will require approximately 9 - 12 weeks due to competing development projects.Migration Project: Meanwhile, to minimize the impact of multiple ITprojects and requirements on colleges, we have renewed the license on our existing Jasper system for another year, to ensure adequate time for the Apply development team, as well as DevOps, to finalize the requirements, complete the migration, and ensure the custom configuration enhancements are bug-free and ready to test by the time we roll to the Pilot environment in October.

Preview: Our goal is to have the CCCApply configurations ready for college preview by middle of October. The production deployment will happen sometime after the October 27 OpenCCCApply release.

Communication: Announcement and updates will be made in the CCCTechnology.info support site, where colleges can ask questions and stay informed on our progress.

Issues

AEBG - Changes to CCCApply
We received the following request from Kathy Booth, WestEd.

Expand

<<  I'm helping to lead a series of practitioners advisory committees for the Adult Education Block Grant (AEBG) that are recommending ways to structure data and accountability reporting. It looks like the group is headed toward recommendations that CCCApply be modified to allow information to be captured on adult ed participants--but these changes may be needed for all CTE for Perkins reporting in the near future, so the impact may be broader.

Here's a brief write up on the topic that I'm working on--could you correct any factual inaccuracies and let me know if there's information you'd want me to share with the committee based on the likely response from the CCCApply Steering Committee, and your take on these requests?

* * * 

The common application form for community colleges—CCCApply—is managed by the CCC Technology Center, which is a project of the Chancellor’s Office. A steering committee is used to consider requests regarding changes to the form, in concert with the project sponsors.  

One of the primary recommendations in the three AEBG data and accountability meetings held to date would be that CCCApply offer a different set of questions for adult education applicants, using a branching question structure or a different version of the application. This would allow sensitive topics like citizenship to be avoided and for the form to be streamlined so that it only includes information that is relevant in the adult education context. CCCApply has already been working on branching solutions to address requests from other Chancellor’s Office funded projects, which could be built upon for AEBG.

However, some committee members have noted that the changes outlined below may become important for Perkins reporting for both noncredit and credit programs, once that funding source is reauthorized and aligned with WIOA. Therefore, the following additions may be needed across all versions of the form:

1) Amend the Personal Information section to include:

  • if participants were employed/unemployed/unemployed 27 consecutive weeks of more at time of entrance
  • ex-offender status
  • seasonal farm worker status
  • homeless status
  • exhausting TANF within two years status

2) Amend the Higher Education Level question to include: College certificate >>

Noncredit Application Issues:

Ongoing discussions about whether it's feasible and compliant to create a modified version of CCCApply for noncredit students (and, see AEBG, other populations that want a special, modified version of the application). 
UPDATE 5.03.17: The Steering leadership met on 5/3/17 to discuss noncredit issue. Sent Noncredit workgroup names to Stephanie on 4/27/17. Team concurred that we need to revisit the application from the perspective "what can we do, if anything, to minimize the questions and length of the application from a legal requirements perspective?" We may come up with the same conclusion, but we need to revisit and ensure CCCCO knows we have heard their continued concern and are doing everything possible to respond. 
Team looked at the Noncredit Report of June 2016 and determined that we need our own survey to gather feedback and requirements, needs from colleges for noncredit students. Team is working on questions for the survey now.
Team is condensing the work Patty did to outline all data fields/questions and corresponding legal requirements into an easy-to-read table (versus the large spreadsheet version we have now).
Team proposes we review the data analysis for Abandoned Applications and add summary of findings to the white paper. 
Team is looking at the remaining work on the white paper and divvying up the work across Leadership, Mike Q., Patty, and any volunteers (volunteers?).
Propose drafting recommendations after another review of the questions/legal requirements for CCCCO. Show / demonstrate that any new findings would take time to implement in CCCApply 3.0.   Note

June 27 Discussion about modifying the application with a "Supplemental Questions XML" page for AEBG and Noncredit students:

Current research findings indicates that 99% of all questions currently in the standard application are required questions, therefore creating any form of modified version of the application is NOT SIGNED OFF on by Steering.  However, Mike Q continues to get pressured from CCCCO due to length of app and unwanted questions, but hasn't promised a solution that's another application.  Therefore, the Chancellor's Office is requesting that we take another look at the application to see what, if anything, can be done.  These are the things that can be explored:

Big Issue:  These colleges don't want to ask the residency questions - strip it out and just give them the Supplemental Questions XML piece PLUS the consent (penalty of perjury you are telling the truth), Submission, and that's it.

Give these colleges that tools to build what they want. 

ONE OPTION for colleges that want to use something other than CCCApply for noncredit or AEBG or any other special population set is to use the Supplemental Questions XML and the Consent page, the digital signature tool, and submission process - then stripping out all other pages. (NOTE: This option would require additional development resources and funds, currently not budgeted or allocated.)

OpenCCC would remain a separate, self-contained component and there would be no proposed changes to that system. (no change)

Mitch says, IF we were to consider a special, modified CCCApply application, this "Supplemental Questions App"  would have to include:

Steering does not sign off on a noncredit app;  
MOU would have to be included  
Colleges would need to be fully aware of the risks;
The BOG board would need to approve this - college must be aware of all risks, and MUST absolve the Tech Center, the CCCCO, Board, and must be fully aware of Audit implications. 

Action Items: 

  • Reconvene the Noncredit Sub-Committee to explore these options and considerations
  • Survey the colleges with OUR survey - questions specific to the application alternatives (what are colleges doing for residency? state/fed laws?) 
  • Look at the existing application for a better way to support noncredit students. There may not be a solution that works.
  • What do we need to put right up front in the application to college?
  • What do colleges want for noncredit students?

Name
Address
Phone
Email
That's it! 

  • What does the CCCCO require from noncredit students?

Example:  SCE's non-credit app:

https://www.sac.edu/rsccdasp/sce/SCE-ApplicationForm.htm
https://www.sac.edu/ContinuingEducation/Pages/Apply.aspx

New CCCApply Noncredit Survey

GOAL: There have been other surveys completed re: noncredit populations, but none that were specific to the CCCApply application.

Survey should help identify how colleges who aren't using CCCApply for Noncredit students - are collecting required data for residency, state & federal regulatory requirements, and MIS reporting data? 

  •    Identify "formula for Noncredit compliance" - Michael Q. work with Elias ? 
  •   Work with Saddleback College and document what they are using and what/how they are staying in compliance for Noncredit students.
  •   Steering will develop a new Noncredit application survey specific to CCCApply.  
  Send out to steering for feedback and discussion during August 30 Steering meeting.  
Note

NEW Survey should include:

Requirements: Steering will develop a new survey specific to CCCApply.  Disseminate to all colleges, Academic Senate, Admissions Listserv, etc.

NEED volunteers to work on this survey project. What's our deadline?

They say what they need
Mike can bring it back to Elias and CCCCO / Legal -

Questions would include:

  • Which fields would you include on a custom noncredit application? SPECIFICALLY
  • What specific issues do colleges have with the current Standard application for noncredit students? (Note: lots of colleges are using CCCApply that don't have same issues) balance out users with non-users (non-users are may not be compliant)
  • For colleges using their own custom noncredit app, "How are you collecting data for fulfilling residency requirements?"
  • How do you plan to meet SSSP requirements?
  • How are you complying with state & federal requirements? (Race & Ethnicity? Gender? AB620?
  • How are you determining if the student is a dependent of a parent or guardian? What critieria are you using to comply? What questions are you asking parents of dependents?

Committee Discussion Note: Saddleback College is doing a good job of using CCCApply for noncredit - when selecting ed goal - we find out they are noncredit - Are they required to matriculate? SSSP?  Formula for noncredit = similar to credit (counts/amounts for services are going to be part of allocation formula. The more you do to make that accurate and correct is beneficial. Mitch says he is surprised, he thought every student has to matriculate.

Steering? What are our action items here - in addition to the suggestions for survey questions?

    New Change Requests

    Note

    UPDATE July 14, 2017: Due to delays in the development schedule caused by a variety of issues over the past three months, including post-AWS migration bugs, problem with the SSID Look-Up service implementation, under-estimated development time needed for infrastructure upgrades; Admin 2.0 integration priorities, as well as the ramp up of new Infiniti-AWS DevOps team, it's possible that some of the approved bugs and feature enhancements slated for the October 27 release may be deferred to March 2018. The final list of bugs that will make the October release is under-consideration and will be announced to colleges with the Pilot Preview release notes.

    titleMinutes from August 30 Meeting

    The committee reviewed the current CCCApply Committee Bylaws & Constitution, which was enacted in 2005 and hasn't been updated since then. We reviewed each section and captured feedback and suggestions. There are several issues that first need to be resolved before the revised version can be resubmitted to the committee for approval:

    • CCCApply Project Charter:  The 2005 bylaws and constitution includes several references to the "CCCApply Master Plan" which is in reference to the Xap-CCCApply Application. That application no longer exists. The CCC Tech Center has begun working on a new OpenCCCApply Charter. Once this is complete, it will be added to the new CCCApply Committee Bylaws & Constitution 2018 and reviewed by the full committee.
    • Missing Committee Members: At the time of the August meeting, 19 committee members had left the Steering Committee. It was resolved that the revision draft of the Bylaws & Constitution would be reviewed by the full committee, once missing members were replaced.
    • Steering Officers Roles & Responsibilities: The sections pertaining to the Steering Officers (i.e. Chair, Vice Chair, Secretary) need to be revised and resubmitted for approval. A timeline and deadline will be established during the November 8 meeting. 

    The objective is to set a deadline for resolving the three issues above during the November 8 meeting.

    2017-2019 Roadmap & Deployments

    CCGI Service

    September 1, 2017

    The CCGI Service is a post-application data articulation between the California Colleges Guidance Initiative (CCGI) and CCCApply for the purpose of supporting multiple measures placement and creating additional efficiencies for college A&R staff across the state. Collectively serving upwards of 400,000 6th-12th grade students across 25 school districts, CCGI uploads student’s academic transcript data into individual student accounts on CaliforniaColleges.edu, and all CCGI legal documentation allows for that data to be shared with institutions of higher education at the point of application. Here is the original change request approved by the CCCApply Steering Committe in July 2016: 2016-39: Data Sharing Articulation with CaliforniaColleges.edu (CCGI) & CCCApply - Phased Approach

    IT Objectives

    Technically, this service, as well as other post-application APIs are developed to hook into existing SNS queues and have no impact on running systems.
    This service is not public-facing and there will be no impact on the end-user (students and colleges). There are no changes to the CCCApply application, nor the download client.

    Next Release:  OpenCCCApply Release 6.1 - October 27, 2017

    Pilot Release:  September 27, 2017


    CCC Administrator 2.0 Launch - Delayed for CCCApply Until March 2018

    The new CCC Administrator 2.0 currently under-development. The original timeline prioritized CCCApply to be the first integrated application; however, due to an accelerated priority to expedite Canvas LMS integration, the inaugural application launch will feature Canvas LMS functionality.  The CCCApply integrated screens - which will fully align with the CCCApply Standard, BOG, and International applications - have been rescheduled to March 2018, as part of the 2018 Annual Update. A formal communication plan will be published outlining dates and processes for migration of data, college previews, support processes, and posting of new documentation.


    Report Center Upgrade - Coming Fall 2017

    • 2017 Roadmap Update: CCCApply is planning an upgrade to our current version (6.1) of the Jasper Business Intelligence software in the CCC Report Center this Fall.

      Project Plan
      : Working with our AWS DevOps team, we'll be moving to the AWS TIBCO Jasper subscription version and deploy the latest supported version to the development environment (CI) by the end of August. Migration of the data and college artifacts, as well as the custom configuration enhancements will require approximately 9 - 12 weeks due to competing development projects.
    • Migration Project: Meanwhile, to minimize the impact of multiple ITprojects and requirements on colleges, we have renewed the license on our existing Jasper system for another year, to ensure adequate time for the Apply development team, as well as DevOps, to finalize the requirements, complete the migration, and ensure the custom configuration enhancements are bug-free and ready to test by the time we roll to the Pilot environment in October.
    • Preview: Our goal is to have the CCCApply configurations ready for college preview by middle of October. The production deployment will happen sometime after the October 27 OpenCCCApply release.
    • Communication: Announcement and updates will be made in the CCCTechnology.info support site, where colleges can ask questions and stay informed on our progress.

    2018 Workshop

    High-level Checklist

    Location - Southern California

    Combine with eTranscript California into a one-day Workshop

    Combine with other Spring conference?

    Originally intended for marketing and educating colleges - rationale has changed over the years - but that was the original intent of the Workshop.

    Steering committee has had twice all-day (2-day) sessions with a facilitator who planned everything for us (RP Group) it's been a long while since we've had a comprehensive planning session.

    Check with the CCC Foundation - for a facilitator

    Suggestion: "Would be great to include RP Group in some way (as facilitator or otherwise). As an RP Group Board member, I can help with that.
    * Re comprehensive planning session."
