Product description

The CCCApply Non-Credit Application is a streamlined, residency-determination-free version of the Standard Application, with a unique, college MIS-code branded URL intended explicitly for students enrolling exclusively in non-credit courses. More like a "workflow" than a completely separate application, the non-credit application uses the same infrastructure as the Standard Application - but without the residency questions or the residency algorithm.  The residency status field will automatically default to "N" and a new "non_credit" flag will default to "True" for all applicants who enter the Standard Application via the new Non-Credit URL.

  • The NC application does not go through the Submission Calculation Service (residency logic) and does not deliver a <res_status> residency status - this will be a blank or Null value in the download file
  • The NC application does not include the Citizenship/Military page or the Residency page - all these fields will either be blank or Null in the download files and in the Report Center
