This is an approved change request coming from the Chancellor's Office to revise, expand, and add conditional formatting to the Race & Ethnicity section in both CCCApply and the International Application. See Change Request 2018-18: Expand Race & Ethnicity Section with New Categories

Current Problem and Business Need

We need to expand the number of ethnicity categories collected on incoming students. There is a business need to expand the categories of ethnicity that are collected via CCCApply and in the International application. The current Student Equity Plan (SEP) guidelines, however, do not include all ethnic groups that are relevant for distinct and diverse local communities served by the 114 colleges. For example, State Center College has a sizable Hmong population in its service area. However, their ability to conduct research, identify equity gaps, and direct resources in ways that will effectively close those gaps has been impeded because “Hmong” is not an ethnicity category that is collected on the standard application. We need to expand the ethnicity group data collected via the standard CCC application (CCCApply) and make that data available via the statewide MIS. 


Supporting Documentation (from SSSP Memo)

Excerpts on Student Success and Support Program re Student Equity SEC. 6. Article 1.5 (commencing with Section 78220) is added to Chapter 2 of Part 48 of Division 7 of Title 3 of the Education Code, to read:

Article 1.5. Student Equity Plans 78220.

(a) As a condition for receiving Student Success and Support Program funding, and in order to ensure equal educational opportunities and to promote student success for all students, regardless of race, gender, age, disability, or economic circumstances, the governing board of each community college district shall maintain a student equity plan that includes all of the following for each community college in the community college district:

(1) Campus-based research as to the extent of student equity by gender and for each of the following categories of students:

(A) Current or former foster youth.

(B) Students with disabilities.

(C) Low-income students.

(D) Veterans.

(E) Students in the following ethnic and racial categories, as they are defined by the United States Census Bureau for the 2010 Census for reporting purposes:

(i) American Indian or Alaska Native.

(ii) Asian.

(iii) Black or African American.

(iv) Hispanic or Latino.

(v) Native Hawaiian or other Pacific Islander.

(vi) White.

(vii) Some other race.

(viii) More than one race.

Current CCCApply and International Application Race/Ethnicity Design and Functionality

CCCApply and the International application collects ethnicity information by first asking applicants if they are Hispanic or Latino. Respondents who select “Yes” then see an expanded set of more specific options to choose from. From there, applicants are asked what their race is and they are given limited high level categories to choose from.

When a box is unchecked, the accordion expansion should roll up to no longer show the subgroups.
  • The following table shows a breakdown of the subgroups tied to each ethnic group, as well as the DB value associated in parenthesis.

In Progress Application Mapping Requirements

Requirements Update:  After the new R&E values have been added, there may be in-progress applications. For the applicants who answered the R&E question (it's optional) and resume an in-progress application, display a client-side pop-up message to inform them that 1) the Personal Information page has been renamed to Demographic Information and is in a new position in the application; and 2) new Ethnicity options have been added to the applications. Please review your previous response for accuracy.

  • Requirements above apply to both the Apply and international applications.
  • Data Dictionary for both Apply and International applications should be updated to reflect new Database values and mappings.
  • No changes to the current DB size limit.

Release Information To Colleges

  • The system does not store names; maps to numerical values. DB is a text field which has unlimited length. When we store the choice user makes, we save code value - no names are stored. 
  • Colleges will need to absorb the new options and replace their DLC jar file for the categories added to the response options for the Race & Ethnicity download field(s). 
  • No changed are needed to the Download client from Unicon's side. Colleges will need to adjust their format file. If a college is using a fix width columns, they may need to adjust based on a student selecting multiple groups and ethnicities.
