Student Success Suite
The Student Success Suite is a collection of student-facing products developed by the CCC Technology Center, including OpenCCC, CCC MyPath, and CCCApply admission & financial aid applications.
Important Note for June 2021 Release: The Apply/MyPath/OpenCCC/Career Coach suite of CCCTC products, which previously did not have a cohesive marketing ‘brand’ tying them together, is being transitioned into the “Student Success Suite” branding umbrella. While certain things will happen within the products to support this (such as removing OpenCCC branding from the Account UX to reduce student confusion), this is largely a marketing and business change, not a functional/software change.
