Development of the CCCApply International Application officially began in early 2014. The majority of the functional requirements were developed at that time. However, over the past year, development of the International Application (IA 1.0) has been delayed several times due to a series of high-priority system infrastructure and performance enhancement upgrades, and a mandatory State 508 accessibility audit of the OpenCCC and CCCApply admissions applications.

The International Application is scheduled to be released to the PILOT (test) environment on Friday, October 16, 2015. At that time, the IA Advisory Committee members will be invited to help with the testing effort, which can begin as early as Monday, October 19. Testing will commence through October 31 (TBD). All changes and issues identified will be prioritized for Development for review. |

In June 2015, the OpenCCC student account system, and the CCCApply Standard application, were audited by the State of California 508 Accessibility Commission. The Audit requirements include addressing any issues identified by the state audit and undergo an outside accessibility review by December 31, 2015. Addressing the issues in the audit, as well as ensuring that all CCCApply admission applications meet or exceed 508 accessibility compliance, has been the focus of the CCC Technology Center, thus contributing to the delays in releasing the International Application to students.
Security and accessibility compliance are the highest priorities for the CCC Technology Center. In addition to the accessibility review, and to ensure our student's personal identity information is secure from breech, the International Application will undergo and must pass a security review by the CCC Technology Center CISO (Chief Information Security Officer).
The International application is slated for review immediately following the completion of the Standard application review. Our current estimate is November 14; however this date is dependent on the outcome of the review of the CCCApply Standard application review.

After the International Application is released to students, future development will align to the CCCApply annual update cycle, which means that changes and improvements/additions to the application will be developed throughout the year and released annually in conjunction with the Annual Update (usually end of Feb, beginning of March).
Accessibility Audit
Prior to the completion of the audit and before work began to address those issues, some development was completed on the International Application, including changes to the Education Goal field, the Education page, and streamlining some of the address field sets on the Account Mailing & Contact Information pages.
The audit performed on the OpenCCC and the CCCApply standard application resulted in a fundamental shift in the way the CCC Technology Center now develops statewide applications. The OpenCCC Account - as well as the CCCApply admissions applications and BOG application - have been overhauled to meet or exceed the 508 requirements and new standards for new development have been created.
The International Application - as new development - has been included in these requirements. We cannot release any new development without a passing grade from an outside (vendor) accessibility review. Currently, the International Application is awaiting this review to begin. We estimate this review to begin around the third week in November 2015.
