Support for AB 2881: New ‘Student Parent’ Questions
Two new questions and data fields identifying “student parents with dependent children” have been added to the CCCApply data set in support of AB 2881; one in the CCCApply Standard application and one in the CC Promise Grant application. This new legislation requires the California Community Colleges, as well as the CSU and the University of California systems to provide support and services including enrollment priority to students who have one or more dependent children under the age of 18 that receive more than half of their support from the student parent.
New Question in the CC Promise Grant Application
In the CCC Promise Grant application (CCPG), the new ‘student parent’ question has been added to the Dependency section; however the response does not impact the BOGFW eligibility algorithm. The question text reads: “Do you have children or dependents who will receive more than half of their support from you between [July 01, YYYY - June 30, YYYY]?” The dates will vary depending on the application year.
New Question in the the CCCApply Standard Application
The new ‘student parent’ question now appears on the Demographic Information page in the CCCApply Standard application only. It does not display in the Noncredit Application.
Data Delivered via SuperGlue for Apply
Each ‘student_parent’ data field is collected, stored and delivered separately via SuperGlue for Apply (to Standard and CCPG staging tables). Authorized college users can also obtain the data via the CCCApply Report Center, and the Data Warehouse Report Server. These fields are also available separately in the CCCApply Administrator for use in creating custom email rules & messages, if desired.
Foster Youth Language Update
The language in the Foster Youth Status question pertaining to the age at which a foster youth student “exited foster care” has been changed from “16 or older” to “age 13 years or older” to comply with Senate Bill No. 512 - which extends the requirement and request for enrollment priority as specified in Ed Code: EC 66025.9(b)(1) to “on or after the youth’s 13th birthday”.
New Confirmation Email for College Student Services
To better guide students with questions about their submitted application, CCCApply will now send a confirmation email to the student with the college’s contact information. The new “Confirmation of Successful Application Submission” email will read as follows:
