Problem / Issue
Colleges are requesting that Baccalaureate degrees be added to the Majors in CCCApply standard and international applications. Per a recent memo from MIS, SP02 has been updated to allow for reporting of Baccalaureate degrees. Colleges who offer these programs require a way to capture and report using CCCApply data.
SP02 STUDENT-PROGRAM-AWARD
SP02 has been updated to allow for reporting of Baccalaureate degrees.
New Credit Award Type: Y = Baccalaureate of Arts (B.A.) degree
New Credit Award Type: Z = Baccalaureate of Science (B.S.) degree
(Find out if we should stick with consistency and add 2-digit codes for new Bachelor degrees (BY = B.A. Degree; BS = B.S. Degree) or stick with single digit codes as per SP02?
Proposed Solution
Add two new values to the "Award Type" data field. The Award Type field is designated manually by colleges in the Majors tab of the Administrator. Award Type field is optional but all colleges are using this field when entering their Majors.
