What is the CCCID?
...
Some key functions of the CCCID:
- The CCCID is generated when a student sets up an OpenCCC account and commonly passed to the college in the CCCApply data download.
- The CCCID is then stored in the college’s SIS or college LDAP/Active Directory
- The CCCID is passed as an attribute from the college’s IdP to the systemwide applications SP (i.e. Canvas, CCCAssess, MyPath, etc.)
- The CCCID is used by the systemwide application to identify the student.
How do colleges get the CCCID?
The majority of students get their CCCIDs when they first apply to a California Community College using the CCCApply admission application. Since 2012, when the CCC Technology Center first released the new CCCApply application in conjunction with the new OpenCCC Account system, colleges have downloaded new student/applicants through their CCCApply download client process. The OpenCCC Account data fields, which are created as part of the initial CCCApply application, are passed to the college with the CCCApply application data in their automated download file. Below is a diagram that illlustrates the process that colleges are using now to download the OpenCCC data - including the student's system-generaged CCCID - along with the student's application data.
