Problem / Issue
Santa Barbara City College submitted a series of change requests pertaining to the International Application. See the details below.
Can there be a red asterisk to indicate which fields are mandatory?
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”
See request for standardized formatting for international numbers from Michael Severa, LACCD
Hi. I was wondering whether there is any plan to introduce phone number conventions/restrictions to the international app phone fields. At the moment, it appears to be a free form text entry field (currently even possible to enter alpha characters), which means parsing the field must happen after download. I notice the download client has a phone formatter, but that seems to be just a text processing method and not a parsing algorithm per se.
Obviously international phone numbers are non-trivial, so I understand if the goal is not to try to get into that, but I just wanted to find out in case its been discussed or even planned. Thanks!
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.
