Description

Meeting Discussion / NotesAction Items Status
Spam Filter Web Service NewsLots of fraud has been reported over the past month. 
The new "retraining" model is being implemented to production tomorrow night (Friday, May 10).  This will help the prediction service better identify and suspend fraud vs. legitimate applications.

Make sure the colleges know where to put the email address for nightly notifications.

Rio Hondo - spam is getting through

CCC Report Center Upgrade 

The CCC Security Center has identified a security risk with the current version of Jasper (CCC Report Center).  We've also identified some issues with the current instance due to a massive overload of reports and resources within the Report Center.

The Tech Center is meeting with TIBCO (Jasper vendor) today to discuss an expedited upgrade to the latest version. 

One of the outcomes we expect are recommendations to restrict unlimited use of the Report Center and implement new policies and procedures (best practices) for the number of ad hoc reports that can be created/used at a time. Also we are discussing ways to implement efficiencies by way user training (considering regular training sessions for colleges). 

: We'd like to hear your feedback. 

In addition to the custom public templates that we provide:

How many custom reports are needed by the college at one time?


NOTE: The Jasper report center upgrade is underway and the Tech Center is managing this project in order to combine this instance of Jasper with the Data Warehouse instance. Details will be sent out via the Communications Office once the technical integration is complete.

Java Upgrade

Java 7 is no longer supported.  The Download Client is moving to Java 8 (Corretto) and we will be communicating with the field that all colleges must upgrade Java (if they haven't already) with the 6.5.0 release.  

Communication will be going out to colleges within the next week to ensure all IT staff are aware of the new system requirements.

Stakeholder Feedback & Survey

Noncredit Application Update

More information about the status of the Noncredit Application development, as well as the activities of the Noncredit App Pilot Project are here: 

Noncredit Application - Project Dashboard

Noncredit Pilot Project - March 4 Meeting

Noncredit Pilot Project - March 22 Meeting

The first version of the CCCApply Noncredit Application was released to the pilot environment on February 19, 2019 as part of the CCCApply Release 6.4.0 Pilot release. The current version is now in pilot for all colleges.

On March 1, the "CCCApply Noncredit Pilot Project" commenced and 10 districts are now actively reviewing the first version, as well as performing user acceptance testing to ensure the application is viable from a technical perspective and ready for IT implementation by all colleges. 


Three New Features Identified

The Noncredit pilot colleges have met twice since the application was released to pilot in February.  During the first meeting, the pilot colleges identified three critical feature enhancements that would be considered "deal breakers" if not implemented.  These include:

  1. The ability for the Noncredit App to have different "Majors/Programs of Study" than the Standard Application

  2. The ability for the Noncredit App to have different Supplemental Questions than the Standard Application

  3. The ability for the Noncredit App to have a different Welcome/landing page than the Standard Application

Currently, requirements for these three feature enhancements have been documented, groomed, and development has begun to ensure functionality is included in the production launch (tentatively scheduled for June 28, 2019).

The three feature enhancements are currently under-development and are slated to be included in the first official production release of the Noncredit Application in the Standard Application on June 28, 2019.

  • Continue working moving the Consent to Release mechanism to the beginning of the application.
  • Add a survey to the Abandonment email or somewhere - asking for feedback on why they abandoned the application.
