# | Description | Proposed Solution / Requirements | Need Requirements |
---|
| Remove "Are you comfortable reading and writing English" from Needs & Interests page in the Standard application for all users | - Remove the "Main Language" section label
- Remove the question, "Are you comfortable reading and writing English"
- Deprecate the data field: <comfortable_english>
| Should this question be removed from the International Application? |
| Remove the "Financial Assistance" section and questions from the Needs & Interests page in the Standard application for all users
| - Remove the "Financial Assistance" section label
- Remove the question: "Are you interested in receiving information about money for college?"
- Remove the question: "Are you receiving TANF/CalWorks, SSI, or General Assistance?"
- Deprecate data fields:
- Financial Assistance = <financial_assistance>
- TANF/CalWorks/SSI = <tanf_calworks_ssi>
| Should these questions be removed from the International Application? |
| Remove the "Athletic Interest" section and questions from the Needs & Interests page in the Standard Application But Make configurable to allow colleges to "opt-in" to keep the section if they are using the Title IX survey | - Remove the "Athletic Interest" section label
- Remove additional onscreen instructive text: "Your response does not obligate you in any way. To be eligible to participate on an intercollegiate team, you must be enrolled in at least 12 units."
- Remove the question: "Are you interested in participating in a sport while attending college?" including the corresponding radio buttons:
[radio button] "Yes, I am interested in one or more sports, including the possibility of playing on an intercollegiate team." [radio button] "Yes, I am interested in intramural or club sports, but not in playing on an intercollegiate team."
[radio button] "No, I am not interested in participating in a sport (beyond taking P.E. classes)."
- Remove all page and field error validation throughout the question
- Implement ability for colleges to "opt-in" to keep the section, questions and all existing specifications
- Make configurable but set to False by default. So it shows up for nobody in the first phase
- Ensure data fields contain a null value option for colleges that don't opt-in
| Phase 1: Medium (removing it for all users, and doing the work to make it configurable included) Phase 2: Large (Removing it for all users and building in the opt-in feature would require a CAP story |
| Revise the layout and question order on the Residency Page for improved efficiency | - Change (rearrange) the layout of sections/questions on the Residency page for maximum efficiency for using skip logic.
- Switch positions of the Special Residency section questions and the Out-Of-State Activities section questions for all users
The layout should be: - California Residency section
- Out-of-State Activities section
- Special Residency section
|
|
| Revise the "Out of State Activities" section and questions to streamline the experience for users | - Change the format of the 4 "Out-Of-State" questions from four separate Yes/No radio button questions with conditional "Year" field to one question and change the radio buttons to checkboxes and set the default to "No".
- Maintain all existing conditions and validation that currently appears
- Maintain the validation for the conditional "Year" menu fields that display if a user selects (checks) one of the checkboxes = True / Yes
- Maintain the association between the checkbox question/response options and the data field
- Move this OOS section up under the "California Stay Begin" questions (switch places with the Special Residency section) and based on a Yes response (checkbox is checked) to any of these four checkbox questions, display the first three "Special Residency" questions, otherwise do not display.
- Revise so that the question is worded like this:
"As of <RDD minus 2 years>, have you engaged in any of the following activities? Check each activity that applies."
- I paid taxes outside of California
- I registered to vote outside of California
- I attended a college or university outside of California
- I filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California
(If the applicant is a minor, display the following prompt-text language):
"As of <RDD minus 2 years>, has your parent or guardian engaged in any of the following activities?"
- Taxes were paid outside of California
- Registered to vote outside of California
- Attended a college or university outside of California
- Filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California
Background & Reasoning - These four questions are not differentiated in the residency logic
- They each have equal weight in the algorithm and any Yes response to any one of the four triggers the "Set Class B2" tag
- A Yes response to any one of the four questions triggers the same integrity flag
- Combining the four questions into one has been approved by the Advisory committee
|
|
| Revise the Special Residency section - Implement skip logic to only display the Special Residency questions IF the applicant responds YES to one or more Out-of-State Activities. | - Hide the Spa
- Move the Special Residency section down below the "Out of State Activities" section
- Implement skip logic to hide unless...
- IF applicant answers YES to the new OOS Activity question, THEN, display the three Special Residency questions shown below, otherwise do not display those questions and implement "Null" value
- Seasonal Agricultural Worker
- F/T Public School Employee
- F/T State University Employee
NOTE: No change to the Homeless Youth or Foster Youth questions. These would ALWAYS display on screen as currently implemented. |

| Add skip logic to the Education Page to hide Colleges Attended questions IF the student is a First Time Student in College | Update the logic in the Enrollment Status field to HIDE the College Education & Colleges/Universities Attended sections IF user selects: Here's the logic that should be implemented across the responses: 1 = First-time student in college (after leaving high school) - Hide College Education & Colleges/Universities Attended fields(Col1-4)
- Keep all other existing logic
2 = Transfer student from another college (Keep existing logic) 3 = Returning student to this college after absent for a main term (Keep existing logic) Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time - Hide College Education & Colleges/Universities Attended fields (Col1-4)
- Keep all other existing logic

Out-of-State Activities Residency Questions | Residency | <ca_outside_tax> <ca_outside_tax_year> <ca_outside_voted> <ca_outside_voted_year> <ca_outside_college> <ca_outside_college_year> <ca_outside_lawsuit> <ca_outside_lawsuit_year> | REVISE | Change the format of these 4 questions from radio buttons to checkboxes and default No. Move this section up (switch places with the Special Residency section) and based on a Yes response (checkbox is checked) to any of these four checkbox questions, display the first three "Special Residency" questions, otherwise do not display. Combine the four OOS activity questions into one question with bullets: - Combine all four questions into One Y/N radio button question
- Move this revised question/section up, directly below the California Stay Begin question.
Background & Reasoning - These four questions are not differentiated in the residency logic
- They each have equal weight in the algorithm and any Yes response to any one of the four triggers the "Set Class B2" tag
- A Yes response any one of the four questions triggers the same integrity flag
- Combining the four questions into one has been approved by the Advisory committee
Question would be worded like this:
"As of <RDD minus 2 years>, have you engaged in any of the following activities?" - I paid taxes outside of California
- I registered to vote outside of California
- I attended a college or university outside of California
- I filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California
If the applicant is a minor, display the following language: "As of <RDD minus 2 years>, has your parent or guardian engaged in any of the following activities?" - Taxes were paid outside of California
- Registered to vote outside of California
- Attended a college or university outside of California
- Filed for a lawsuit or divorce outside of California
| If we change this proposal and reformat existing to checkboxes - MED |
