As part of the CCCApply Redesign Project - all CCCApply applications, including the CC Promise Grant Application and the OpenCCC Account (legacy) have been redesigned in a responsive format, which means that the interface changes based on the screen size of the mobile devise.
Responsive applications react with the student-user in mind, and enhance usability no matter what type of mobile device is being used, such as a mobile phone, tablet or desktop.
