The systemwide governance team advising the implementation of the Multiple Measures Initiative (MMI) questions that appear in the CCCApply Standard Application are requesting some needed text revisions to the language and format of the existing questions. 

Change Request Review Meeting 7.27.18

Background Information - Need to Update MM Questions in CCCApply for September 2018 Release  

During a recent meeting with the CCCApply Redesign Workgroup - a working group led by Vice Chancellor Omid P. to address both AB705 and AB3101 - we discussed doing everything we can to accommodate getting changes in the September release in addition to a significant number of other priorities.
The Multiple Measures Steering Committee has proposed a set of changes to the existing MM implementation - a call was scheduled for 7.27.18 to review the changes for development & resource estimate.

78.302.18 :  Per meeting with Jennifer Coleman, the MMI Steering Committee is considering a revision to the number of questions and logic included in the self-reported MM section within CCCApply. The reason behind the revision is twofold: 1) as part of the larger MMP data integration project between CCGI and eTranscript California, transcript data can be obtained through an expansino of the existing CCCApply>CCGI web service to store that data for review by CalPass Plus in order to determine placement assessment; and 2) the current implementation of MM questions in CCCApply now can be largely reduced by a revision to how the data is being used for placement - thus only needing GPA and possibly one other question to assess placement based on self-reported data  - Some edits were made to the proposed changes from MMI advisory committee by Omid today. Below reflects the approved changes. 


Proposed Solution: Change Request Spec Breakdown

Confirmation of Approved Requirements Requested in 7.24.18 document (Link:  SelfReportedQuestionEdits072418.R-72718.docx )

Revise Display Condition #2:  Revise "Condition 2" of the HS Transcript Information section conditional display logic to remove the age/date limitation requirement ("High School Completion Date is < 10 years from the RDD (high school completion/graduation is less than 10 years prior to the day before the first day of the selected Term)": 
  • Update Condition #2 TO:  
    Display "High School Transcript Information" section and display “Grade Point Average” question, but DO NOT display “Have you completed the 11th grade?” question IF:
    1. User has a "High School Education Level is one of the following:
      • Received high school diploma from US high school
      • Passed a high school equivalency test
      • Received a Certificate of California High School Proficiency
    2. AND User's High School country = United States 
  • This means that the MM section will appear for EVERY applicant - regardless of age - that has graduated or equivalent from a US high school.  
  • Update logic in the GPA Question:  Revise the conditions for displaying the GPA question by removing the piece of logic removed in Condition #2 that says, "

    1. only display IF the user's  "High School Completion Date is < 10 years from the RDD (high school completion/graduation is less than 10 years prior to the day before the first day of the selected Term)" from the three-part logic in Condition 2, which is a reiteration of the general logic change above.
