1. Update Student Parent Question Text in CC Promise Grant and CCCApply Applications
The Student Parent questions added in 2023 have been updated
more
CC Promise Grant Application
The Student Parent question is revised to match the 2024-2025 CC Promise Grant paper application to: “Do you have children or dependents who will receive more than half of their support from you between [July 1, 2024 - June 30, 2025]?”
The dates in brackets update annually to align with each new CC Promise Grant application academic year.
CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application
XXX
“Do you have children or dependents who receive more than half of their support from you?
Note: CCPG question includes dates that pertain to the student parent’s response. The CCCApply question does not include the dates.
2. Add new conditional question to collect the number of dependents of student parents by age group
If the applicant has identified as a student parent with dependents (i.e., the student has answered Yes to the Student Parent question described above) then two new menus will appear to collect the number of dependents in two age groups: 1) dependents age 17 years and younger, and 2) dependents age 18 years and older. If displayed the applicant will be required to make a selection in each age group, otherwise an error message will display.
Note: Other than the annual date range specified in the CC Promise Grant application, the Number of Dependents question and data being collected is basically identical in both applications.
CC Promise Grant Application
In the online application, the Student Parent question appears in the Dependency section. If the applicant selects Yes both Number of Dependents fields appear.
IIf displayed, a response is required for each Number of Dependents dropdown menu.
Per COMIS SB39, the number of dependents collected range between 0 - 9+ dependents.
CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application
In the CCCApply Standard application, the Student Parent question appears on the Demographic Information page under the Dependents heading. If the applicant selects Yes both Number of Dependents fields appear.
If displayed, a response is required for each Number of Dependents dropdown menu.
For data field specifications around the new Number of Dependents fields, see the Data Fields & Data Delivery section below.
