New & Changed Data Fields
The tables below provide an overview of the new or changed data fields in the CCCApply Applications, including the new Noncredit Application path within the Standard Application, in the v.6.6.0 release. Any changes to the "Glue for Apply" data sets are also noted.
NOTE: To download the new Noncredit data fields, you must add them to your CCCApply Standard Application Format Definition XML file and update your Download Client Jar file.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Visa Type | <visa_type> | New Values | E2C = E-2C SIV = Special Immigrant Visa T6 = T-6 | 20 | Yes | No | These new values are now added to the CCCApply Visa Table F "Visa Types Eligible to Establish Residency" |
Changes to the User Interface
| Page / Section | Description | Current UI State | New Revised UI State | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Noncredit Application | Noncredit Application Confirmation Number Prefix | Confirmation numbers for submitted Standard Applications have numeric values only. | With the deployment of the Noncredit Application, submitted application's will include a prefix to the Confirmation number if the application is started and submitted using the Noncredit URL. | Example: NC-4140067 |
| NOTE: This means that a student who has submitted an application to a college (example: College A, Term A) using the Noncredit Application, can now re-apply (submit a Standard Application to the same college for the same term A). However, this only applies to students transitioning from Noncredit status to Credit status; otherwise they will be blocked from submitting a second Standard Application to the same college, same term. | ||||
