• All-new student-centric UI with mobile-friendly, multi-language, modern support services

• Fully integrated with MyPath and SuperGlue for cohesive matriculation

• Redesign & streamline the CCCApply Standard

• application and get the data to colleges quicker, easier and more frequently

Support Non-Credit Students with Residency-Free Workflow

Collaborate with the CCC non-credit community and Ideas42 to design and implement a modern, user-friendly, electronic application that supports the needs of our diverse non-credit student populations - allowing colleges to collect only what's necessary at the time of application to comply with AB3101. 

1. Using the existing CCCApply standard application, remove all residency questions and other questions that are not required at time of application;

   1. Remove the Residency page and all it's questions

   2. Remove the Citizenship & Military Status page and all it's questions

   3. Remove several questions on the Needs & Interests page

2. Questions, language, and flow would be determined and approved through collaboration of the CCCApply Redesign Workgroup (CO) and other stakeholders (User Groups) and supported with recommendations from Ideas42 behavioral study);
