Release Overview

As part of the systemwide Student Success Initiative, this release is intended to provide continuity and cohesion to the student onboarding experience overall.

The CCCApply v.6.11.0 release focused on updates to improve student navigation of the CCCApply standard, noncredit, international, and California College Promise Grant (CCPG) applications. These changes were guided by a review of the CCCApply interface that was conducted by the Foundation for Community Colleges (FCC) at the request of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO).

Changes to CCCApply Applications

Below is a list of changes that were implemented to the CCCApply applications.

Text Updates to the Standard & Noncredit Application

Text changes were made to the top of specific pages in the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit applications:

Text was added or moved to the top of the…

Education page

“Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”.

Citizenship/Military page

“Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”.

Citizenship Status question

“This information will be used for admissions and state reporting purposes. Your responses will be kept private and secure, and will not be used for discriminatory purposes.”

Residency page

“Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”.

Needs & Interests page

“This information you provide on this page will not be used in making admission decisions and will not be used for discriminatory purposes.”

Demographic page

“By California law, the California Community Colleges collect voluntary demographic information regarding the sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression of students.”

  • This information will be used for federal and state reporting.”

  • This information is used for summary demographic reporting and will not be used for a discriminatory purpose.

  • Your responses are kept private and secure.

  • Providing this information is optional.

Gender/Transgender question

The following statement: “Gender in this context, means a person's sex, or a person's gender identity and gender expression.” was moved immediately below the Gender/Transgender header. 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.

Standardization of Help Information Text Using Tool-Tip Icons

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. The original onscreen text and help information has not changed. This change ensures that all help text and additional onscreen information now behaves in a standardized way.

Note

CCCApply Download Client End-of-Life Cycle

In 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.
