Info

Student Parents with Dependents in CCPG and CCCApply
The changes summarized below pertain to an enhancement to the new Student Parent question that was added last fall 2023 in both the CC Promise Grant online application and the CCCApply Standard/Noncredit application. Other than the specific time frame (annual date range) that data is being collected for in the CC Promise Grant application, the new Number of Dependents question and data fields being implemented in this release are basically identical in both applications. The data elements are documented in the data dictionaries for both applications.

Changes Summary

  1. Update and match the existing Student Parent question text in the CCCApply and California College Promise Grant applications, for consistency purposes

  2. Add a new conditional question in both applications that collects the total number of dependents from student parents by age group

  3. Add two new data fields to each application to store the number of dependents under/over age 18

  4. Add new data fields to all downstream admin, reporting, and delivery systems

1. Update the Student Parent Question in the California College Promise Grant and CCCApply Applications

This is a simple update to ensure the language in both Student Parent questions are consistent. Other than the date range that is specified - and updated annually - in the CC Promise Grant application, both questions should match.

If displayed the applicant will be required to make a selection in each age group, otherwise an error message will display.
