Problem / Issue

The Common Assessment Initiative (CAI) is requesting a series of 5 (or 6) new data fields and onscreen questions be added to CCCApply Standard Application in support of collecting data (multiple measures) for placement. 40 colleges are currently implementing the CAI program and will need this data added by September 2016.

Proposed Solution

This change only pertains to the CCCApply Standard Application.

Add a new section to the Education page called, "High School Transcript Information", which will include 5 (possibly six) data field questions collecting students GPA and highest English and Math courses completed at the time of application. The section will appear below the "Last HS Attended" section only if the student meets conditional criteria. CAI is only interested - at this time - in data collected from students who have completed high school (or equivalent) within 10 years of their high school (or equivalent) completion date. The data fields will consist of one text input field (GPA) with validation for number format (must be 0.00 - 4.00), and four "menu" fields. The questions and data fields will be added to the Download Client and will be available in Rules app and the Report Center.

Requirements Summary

#	Description	Notes/Comments
	Add new conditional section to the Education page labeled "High School Transcript Information" which only displays if the applicant completed high school (or equivalent) in the US within 10 years of the current date (or RDD). This information is still being confirmed with CAI steering committee.
	Develop 5 new downloadable data fields with conditions, validation, hover help (where appropriate), format/length, . grade_point_average highest_english_course highest_english_grade highest_math_course highest_math_grade
	Section Requirements: Condition: If the section displays, then require responses to all questions. Add specific validation client/server error messages for each fieldl. NOTE: *Questions 4 - 6 may be consolidated into two questions. Jennifer Coleman is confirming requirements with steering now (6/20/16). Each question/data field will be specified individually, including data element details, conditions, validations, error messages, specific text/language
	Add 5 new data fields to Download Client.
	Add 5 new data fields to submitted applications database; add to Rules (Administrator) and Report Center.
	Hover Help: Only the text input field (GPA) will require English hover help language (and spanish)
	Add to Review Application page: The new section and all 5 data fields will be added to the Review Application page
	Update Specs: The Standard Application Data Dictionary will be updated to include a summary of the section and specific data field specifications.
