XAP-based student applications have their own unique Data Dictionary and application data download process. Contact the CCC Tech Center to request Data Dictionary and/or download process information if necessary.

Pilot (Sandbox) & Production Environments
Terms of Use and Support
The OpenCCCApply Pilot environment is meant designed to be a carbon copy of the live Production environment to allow colleges to stage changes in their configurations and test implementations prior to an update or product roll-out. While the Pilot environment is a clone of Production, it is not actively monitored for errors and issues in the same way that the Production environment is. Thus, there is no support team in place to respond to Pilot environment issues. For those colleges currently implementing OpenCCCApply, reporting issues to your project team may not be effective.
Staff Support
Our recommendation is that college staff personnel use the CCCTechnology.info support site to communicate issues, ask questions, and request assistance. CCCTC support staff review incoming posts and endeavor to respond within 48 hours to issues posted about the Pilot environment. Depending on the nature of the issue, resolution time will vary; however the intent is to provide updates on progress towards implementation every 24 hours.
Making XAP Applications Available in Reporting
It is expected that if you have any legacy XAP-based student applications they have been imported into your Student Information System (SIS) and are available for reporting. XAP-based student applications have their own unique Data Dictionary and application data download process. Contact the CCC Tech Center to request Data Dictionary and/or download process information if necessary.

Authorized User Access
The User Manager module allows authorized users from each college or district MIS code to view, add, edit, and delete* all other users within the scope of their own authorized user permissions. The User Manager section provides the ability for users with authorized role(s) to create new users and permissions for your college or district.
Upon the initial adoption and implementation of CCCApply at your college (or district), one designated User from each college is provisioned with the “Add User” role, which allows he/she to view, add, edit, and delete* all additional users within the scope of their own authorized user account. This user is responsible for adding - and removing - all subsequent approved user accounts; this user is also responsible for deleting users who are no longer affiliated with your college or permitted to access CCCApply data.
Adding & Editing Authorized User Accounts
If you are a designated “Add User” for your college, you are permitted to manage users for your MIS code. Use the following steps to add users to the CCC Report Center (these steps are also documented in the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 User Guide):
