Description

The CCCApply Residency Review Committee is an ongoing advisory committee to support and advise the CCCApply product manager and steering committee on residency related issues and change requests that affect the CCCApply residency algorithm in the Standard Application.

With revisions underway to update the 2005 CCCApply Steering Bylaws & Constitution, the Steering Committee has determined that the CCCApply residency algorithm (Standard Application) should be reviewed to ensure it is up-to-date, accurate, and is compliant with the California Education Code, the CCCCO Student Admissions Accounting Manual (SAAM), and the CACCRAO standards for residency.

The primary objectives for this advisory committee in 2018 are to: 

  1. Short Term: Conduct comprehensive reviews of current algorithms for accuracy and compliance with corresponding laws and regulations:

In 2016, CCCApply Steering Committee reviewed a request to have the CCCApply residency algorithm logic - and corresponding Table E: Integrity Flags - reviewed for accuracy, consistency, by an outside expert/consultant. After short discussion on the importance of having an outside source conduct an objective review, the committee voted to seek funding to cover the project. Bill Mulrooney, former Steering Chair, suggested we consult a former steering member (Tim Clow) to perform the review. 

Update: 
Unfortunately funding for a review was not budgeted in the 2017/2018 fiscal year and the steering committee has undergone massive turnover (over a dozen members have retired and left the committee since September 2017).

  • Steering leadership suggested we resurrect the Residency Review Committee (inactive since 2015) and assign them this project.
  • This review will also benefit the CCCApply 3.0 product development team in gathering requirements and stories supporting innovations & upgrades to the existing residency algorithm. 
  • Based on the findings, consider a formal external review.
