Change Requirements

1. The CCCApply Standard Application should be used for all students: Credit and Non-Credit
   
   
2. Revise the CCCApply Standard application to include two workflow paths, one that determines residency (Standard Credit) and one that is exempt from residency determination (Non-Credit)
   The two workflow paths would be:
   
   
1. Standard Credit Path (includes residency determination) - For students seeking college credits for courses taken at a California community college. 
   For all intents and purposes, this is the current Standard application - including all existing logic, services, field and error validation, pre- and post-submission services and processes (no change to the residency algorithm submission calculation service). 
   To comply with AB3101, some questions/fields in OpenCCC and the Standard Application will be removed, revised, or hidden via skip logic, in order to ONLY collect data that is required by the federal government, state law, or that is otherwise required during the application process. These changes will be specified in a separate change request (2018-38: Questions to be revised or removed to comply with AB3101)  
   
   
2. Non-Credit Path: (does not include residency determination) - For students seeking to enroll exclusively in career development and college preparation courses, and other courses for which NO credit is given, this "path" is a variation of the Standard Application - accessed from a separate, unique URL - that uses skip logic to hide pages and questions, and collects only the data required by the federal government, state law, or that is otherwise necessary to uniquely identify the student during the application process. 
   
   To comply with AB3101, this path does not include pages, questions, field logic calculations that determines residency status, including the residency submission calculation service,  and will only display a set of questions that are required by the federal government, state law, or that are otherwise necessary to uniquely identify the student, during the application process.
   
   
3. The Standard "Credit" path will function exactly like the current, existing Standard application; no significant changes have been identified for the existing, residency path 
   1. If the applicant intends to enroll in one or more college credit course(s), they will use the existing college-branded application URL (or the generic, unauthenticated version via MyPath).  and complete all questions required to determine California residency; and questions required by the federal government, state law, and other necessary requirements; 
   2. The Standard "Credit" workflow path will not change how it calculates the residency status implemented today;
   3. The Standard "Credit" workflow path will not change any post-submissions processes, web services, calculations (residency, AB540, financial aid) etc. 
   4. NOTE: All proposed changes to the Standard "Credit" path will be detailed in separate change requests.
      
       
4. The Non-Credit path SHOULD include the following questions required by state, local & federal mandates, as well as questions required to identify the student
   1. All questions in the OpenCCC Account will be included to identify the student at the college, for OpenCCC account creation (CCCID) and account recovery, for federal IRS requirement
   2. All questions on the Enrollment page (Term, Ed Goal, and Major) will be included 
   3. All questions on the Account Info/Mailing page will be included - including the "Dependency Status" (Minors) question
   4. All questions on the Education page will be included
   5. All questions on the Demographic Information page will be included
   6. All questions on the Review, Consent & Submit page will be included
      
      
5. The Non-Credit path SHOULD NOT include the following questions required exclusively to determine residency, or that are not required at the time of application
   
   1. The Citizenship & Military page will be removed completely - (all questions in the Citizenship section)
   2. The Residency page will be removed completely - (all questions in the Military Status section)
   3. The following questions may be removed from the Needs & Interests page:
      1. Main Language section: Are you comfortable reading and writing English?
      2. Financial Assistance section:
         1. Are you interested in receiving information about money for college?
         2. Are you receiving TANF/CalWORKs, SSI, or General Assistance?
      3. Athletic Interest set of fields:
         1. Are you interested in participating in a sport while attending college?
            1. Yes, I am interested in participating in one or more sports, including the possibility of participating of playing on an intra-collegiate team.
            2. Yes, I am interested in intramural or club sports, but not in playing on an intercollegiate team.
            3. No, I am not interested in participating in a sport (beyond taking a P.E. classes).
6. Residency Status Field Requirements

   To comply with the new residency exemption for Non-credit students in AB3101, we need to revise the Residency Status field to include a value for "exempt" status. We need to do the following:

   • Add a new value of "N" to the Residency Status field <res_status> for "non-credit / exempt".
   • Ensure all applicants via the "Non-Credit Application" default to the exempt status.
7. Add a New Integrity Flag (81) for "Non-Credit / Residency Exempt"
   • Upon check if non-credit flag is set, then set the residency status to N and add an int flag of 81.
   • Hard code res_area A,B,C,D to "9". "9" means a student is not eligible in that area so using 9 would be an appropriate value in this use case.
   • Add integrity_fg_81 to the Download Client
   • Add to Apply submit-ws and integration testing with college adaptor.
   
   
   
   
8. Implement logic to allow a non-credit status student to re-apply to the same term, same college using the "credit" version of CCCApply, if they plan to transition from NC to Credit status
