The CCCApply residency algorithm uses the responses from data elements cahs_graduated and cahs_3year to determine stay and intent.
Education | Question | Data Element |
Graduated From CA High School | Did you receive your diploma, GED, or certificate in California? | cahs_graduated |
Attended CA High School For 3 Years | Have you attended high school in California for three or more years? | cahs_3year |
K-8 and 9-12 students are not asked the two questions above therefore, are inaccurately classified as residency B2 (requirements possibly met) and assigned flag 03 by the residency algorithm.
Residency Area | B (Stay and Intent) |
Evaluation Statement | Is the applicant under 19 as of RDD with last high school out-of-state? |
Data Elements Logic | RDD minus19 years > personal_info: birthdate AND education: hs_state != CA |
Integrity Flag 03 | State of last high school attended is not California and student is under 19 |
2. Minors are not eligible for Adult School based on their age. Status value Z = Adult school student in high school diploma or equivalency should not display as an enrollment status option.
Proposed Solution Issue #1
The residency calculation, provided by CCCApply to establish residency for tuition purposes, needs to be enhanced to use the parent/guardian residency-related responses when an applicant is a under age 19 and dependent on a parent/guardian”.
Change the wording of hs_edu_level:
From
Title | High School Education |
Question | High school education level as of RDD |
Help | Select the High School Education Level you will have attained when you enroll. |
To
Title | High School Education (or lower grade) |
Question | High school education level (or lower grade) as of RDD |
Help | Select the High School Education Level (or lower grade) you will have attained when you enroll. |
3. Change the wording of hs_attendance:
From
Question | Current or Most Recent High School Attended |
Values | · I attended high school. · I attended an adult school. · I was homeschooled in a registered homeschool organization. · I was independently homeschooled. · I did not attend high school or adult school and was not homeschooled. |
To
Question | Current or Most Recent High School Attended |
Default Value | I did not attend high school or adult school and was not homeschooled. |
Proposed Solution
Use RDD minus 19 years logic to determine if the applicant is a minor then default the enroll_status value to “Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time”.
The residency calculation needs to be enhanced to use the parent/guardian residency-related responses when an applicant is a under age 19 and dependent on a parent/guardian”.

Problem / Issue #2
“Minor” applicants are able to select “Adult school student in high school diploma or equivalency” as an enroll_status response. “Minors” are not eligible for Adult School based on their age. When a minor selects
“Z = Adult school student in high school diploma or equivalency”, the applicant is not asked the following two questions and is calculated by the residency algorithm as residency B2 (requirements possibly met) and assigned flag 03.
Question | Data Element |
Did you receive your diploma, GED, or certificate in California? | (cahs_graduated) |
Have you attended high school in California for three or more years? | (cahs_3year)
|
Proposed Solution #2
Use the applicant’s RDD age to determine minor identification. If the applicant is a minor, default the enroll_status value to “Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time”.
The residency calculation needs to be enhanced to use the parent/guardian residency-related responses when an applicant is a under age 19 and dependent on a parent/guardian”.
Issue #3: Residency Area D Question
I added the Residency Class D attachment with screenshots from the CCCApply Standard Application and the Data Dictionary where it says applicants under 19 years of age are asked questions about their parent(s) or guardian(s) to determine CA residency for tuition purposes. However the Area D Flowchart and the Outline of Area D do not reflect this statement. This is why LACCD is requesting the residency algorithm be modified. Thank you in advance.
Thank you,
Olivia Alvarado
Additional Questions:
Q: If a K-8th student is a US citizen and has lived in CA for more than 2 years thus a CA resident and the parents are undocumented thus foreign residents would the student still be flagged as non-resident?
A: Yes. The residency classification of the parent or guardian is used when determining the status of a minor.
Q: AB 1096 was enacted into law in September 2021. Should the Citizenship section be revised to update instances of the term “alien” (i.e., alien registration number, alien registration number issue date/expiration date, etc.)
A:
Hello Everyone,
I took a look at this again and revised the enhancement request. I hope it is clearer. Let me know if you have any questions.
