2017-17: Various International Application Changes

Problem / Issue

Santa Barbara City College submitted a series of change requests pertaining to the International Application.  See the details below.

1. Can there be a red asterisk to indicate which fields are mandatory?

2. When creating account:

• Phone number field is only in US format.

• Add a field for international phone number format

• Please add a box saying “I do not have a US phone number”

• Social Security Number

• Move check boxes for the following fields to the top of the Social Security Section

• “Check this box if you do not have a Social Security Number”

• “Taxpayer Identification Number”

• “decline to provide one at this time.”  

• “I am an international student….”

• If not, is there a way to emphasize that only U.S. SSN and U.S. ITIN is being collected?

3.  We want to be able to "hide" certain sections, questions, and menu options. Examples:

• Education tab

• English Proficiency:  Please remove.  

• Education level/history -

• Add “Other Schools” to encompass language school/s attended

• Increase the number of characters allowed for school names

• Attendance end date: can we list “currently attending” or a bit of info-text indicating to list the date the current session will end?

• Visa/Dependents tab

• Visa options: Change to list only “F-1” or “No Visa Yet”. Can we remove or hide all the other visas listed?

• Remove or hide I-94 number questions

• IA-2016-02:  Add Check box Question to VISA/I-94 Section for Living in the US

  
  

4. Can we have the option to provide "help" pop-up windows for certain questions?

5.  Can we add supplemental questions within the various sections? For example:

• SEVIS tab

• “How many OPT/CPT do you have?”change to “how many OPT/CPT have you had”

• Add a box that says “I’m currently on OPT”

Proposed Solution

Each item will be reviewed per the CCCApply Change Management process and prioritized accordingly.
