Non-Credit Status Question
NOTE: Feedback from students and colleges tells us that most students have no idea The feedback we've received from student comments and college staff is that most students do not know what "non-credit" means and definitely do will likely not have enough information at the time of application to make that informed decision, even if they did. Therefore the crafting of this question is important to making this implementation proposal work.
The critical element in the this "Non-credit Path" change proposal is accurately identifying the student's enrollment intention (credit vs. non-credit) at the time of application.
This question needs to be worded carefully because - based on the student's response to this question, the Credit path or the Non-Credit path will be displayed throughout the rest of the applicationplus the affirmation in the Confirmation pop-up box, is what triggers the non-credit workflow path after the Enrollment page.
This question needs to be clear and understandable by the student - so that they can accurately self-identify their enrollment intention for the term.
It may be necessary to implement one or more Help pop-up boxes with clarifying information within the question or the responses response options (using hyperlinks to pop-up boxes).

Suggestions:
Are you sure you don't plan to enroll in one or more college courses in order to receive credits or units?
If you confirm Yes, you won't be subjected to California residency determination
However, if change your mind and end up enrolling in one or more courses for credit - you will be required to re-apply (using CCCApply) in order to determine your California residency status?
enroll exclusively in career development and college preparation courses, and other courses for which no credit is given
