What is the issue or problem?
Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to allow pupils whom the district has determined would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work to attend community college as special part-time or full-time students, subject to parental permission.
(SB554) authorizes the governing board of a school district overseeing an adult education program or the governing board of a community college district overseeing a noncredit program to authorize a student pursuing a high school diploma or a high school equivalency certificate to enroll as a special part-time student at a community college, as provided.
This bill will allow students enrolled in adult education or a noncredit program pursuing a high school diploma or equivalent (certificate) to attend college at the same time.
CCCApply needs to be updated to identify these students and capture their enrollment status (SB15) and their education level (SB11).
What are the changes that need to be implemented in CCCApply?
To comply with the new bill, the CCCApply Standard and Noncredit applications need to identify these students* and capture their enrollment status (SB15) and their education level (SB11), as well as several other question changes and validity checks. All changes will be made to the Education page.
User Interface changes:
College Enrollment Status
Add a new response option to the Enrollment Status question, "Enrolling in adult school and college at the same time"
Add a corresponding value to the <enroll_status> data field for the new response option
High School Education Level
Add a new response option to the High School Education Level question, "Will be enrolled in adult school and college at the same time"
Last High School Attended
Revise the question label from Last High School Attended to Last School Attended
Change the question format from a radio-button field to a drop-down menu, and
Add a new response option, "I attended an adult school"
Backend Changes
Data field, logic, and validation changes:
In addition to user interface changes, these and several other dependent fields on the Education page will need to be updated to correspond with the new response options.
What other dependencies are there?
Ensure the School Finder includes California and national adult education, noncredit, and continuing education schools with corresponding CDS/CEEB codes;
Ensure the HS Transcript Information section does not display for Adult School Special Admits
(Per decision made by Jennifer & Jane in October 2020, the HSTI questions WILL display for this population - seeking college feedback.)
Notes
The High School Finder includes national adult schools and continuing ed schools.
Adult School Special Admits will NOT see the High School Transcript Information questions (MM)
Release Schedule

SB11
MIS Integrity Checks:
If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 7YYYY, 7XXXX, 8YYYY, 8XXXX, (indicating a degree), then SB15 must not be coded as “1” (first-time student).
If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 10000 (special admit K-12), then this field must be coded as “Y”.
If Student Education Status (SB11) is coded as 21000 (Adult Education Special Admit student), then this field must be coded as “Y”.
Data Quality Check:
(SB15) Enrollment status for CREDIT students must have: At least 50% coded “5” (continuing). 10% or less coded “X” (uncollected / unreported / unknown).
SB15
Coding
1,2,3,5,Y,X
Meaning
First-Time Student = 1 A Student enrolled in college for the first time after High School. The first time a student enrolls in a primary term, this element should be coded as '1', even if the student was previously enrolled in a summer or winter intersession. For example, if a student enrolls at the college for the first time during a summer term and subsequently enrolls during a fall term, the student should be coded as '1' for both terms.
First-Time Transfer Student = 2 A student enrolled at the reporting college for the first time and who transferred from another institution of higher education.
Returning Student = 3 A student enrolled at the reporting college after an absence of one or more primary terms.
Continuing Student = 5 A student enrolled in the current session and was enrolled in the previous regular session.
Not Applicable Y A Special Admit student (see Student Education Status SB11).
Uncollected / Unreported= X Uncollected / Unreported / Unknown
This element may be coded with "X" if a student is enrolled in only noncredit courses.
Change History:
Revision: Summer 2020 Updated meaning for code “Y” and referential edits related to new SB11 value ‘21000’ (Adult Education Special Admit student)
