The CCCID and Single Sign On

 Read More About the OpenCCC Initiative Goals

The OpenCCC Initiative, launched in 2011 to establish a federated identity initiative (single sign on) based on the implementation of one systemwide ID for every California Community Colleges student (CCCID). The initiative has provided an effective way to tie student data to outcomes and institutional improvement as students swirl among our colleges while taking advantage of a variety of new online services. These goals have not changed. The redesign of the OpenCCC student account system intends to dramatically simplify the user experience during account creation, recovery and sign in - with increased security and improved data validation.


New Account Creation & Sign In Process

Consistent with the existing OpenCCC process, multiple paths will lead users to the new account creation process. Regardless of where the user first encounters the account system, the new user interface provides buttons and/or links to begin the account creation process.

What You Need to Know:

  • The new modern interface supports a simplified user flow with fewer required questions

  • Students can use a unique email address or a mobile phone number to establish their preferred account sign in credentials.

  • Multi-factor authentication has been incorporated into account creation and recovery using a verification code.

  • A new invisible ReCaptcha tool is built in to account creation for added security and validation

  • New account matching & recovery logic is used to reduce duplicate accounts

Sign In for Legacy Users

  • Existing OpenCCC account holders will be required to authenticate and validate their account credentials using a one-time, user-friendly sign-in process.

  • Note: There are alternate workflows for legacy students who share the same email or mobile phone number. These alternate workflows will be detailed in a release notes update coming soon.

Create & Verify Account Process

The two-step Account Creation process includes the Create Your Account and Verify Your Account pages following user sign in.

Preferred Method of Contact: Unique Email or Mobile Number

  • Users have the option to use an email address or a mobile number as their preferred (primary) method of contact.

  • Both Email Address and Mobile Phone Number are required fields and must be unique.

  • Users can change their “preferred method of contact” at any time following account creation.

  • NOTE: Preferred Method of Contact is a new flag (data field) downloadable/deliverable to colleges.

Optional Verification Test Run

  • Users can run through a Verification test to ensure they can receive their required verification code.

Multi-Factor Authentication During Account Creation

After the user chooses a preferred method of of The user can request that the verification code be resent, or they can return to the Sign In page, from the Verify Your Account screen.

Verification Code

User receives a Verification Code by email or mobile text message immediately following Create Your Account page process in English or Spanish, depending on the user’s language preference set during the account creation or sign-in process.

  • Maximum of 3 attempts to enter valid Verification code allowed

  • If user cannot validate code within amount of allotted attempts - they are directed to contact Support.

Create Profile Pages

Following the sign in and verification process, the user is stepped through the required sections of the Account Profile, including Contact Information, Personal Information, and Credentials.

  • Contact Information: The user’s permanent address, with an option to self-identify as homeless.

  • Personal Information: The user’s legal name, preferred name, and birthdate.

  • Credentials: The user’s email, mobile phone number, and their preferred method of contact.

Account Data Field Changes

The majority of the existing OpenCCC Account data fields will continue to be collected and passed to the college.

Deprecated Data Fields

  • The Username field is no longer used in the new Account system <username>

  • The PIN Number field is no longer used in the Account System.

  • The legacy Preferred Name data fields (first, middle, last) have been simplified into one field.

  • Security Questions are no longer used in the Account creation or recovery processes.

  • The Preferred Name question has been simplified to Middle & Last Name fields have been deprecated

  • The Social Security Number question and related data fields have been moved to the Profile page in CCCApply (Note: Standard & Noncredit Applications ONLY).

Account Matching & De-Duplication

  • If the system recognizes the user’s email or mobile phone number entered, the “Account Exists” page displays and with a “Recover Account” button.

  • If the user is attempting to create or recover an account using an email address or mobile number that is already associated with an existing account, the system will direct the user to recover their account credentials or create a new account.

  • The system will allow three (3) failed attempts to create or recover a user account.


New Account Recovery Process

The account recovery system has been redesigned to streamline the sign in process for students returning to CCCApply, CCC MyPath, or any of the online technology solutions.

What You Need to Know:

  • New simplified user interface offers clear instructions to existing users

  • Streamlined recovery process & password reset

  • No more required security questions

  • More options for self-serve account recovery

Recovery Flow

  • During the sign in process, if the system recognizes the user’s email or mobile phone number, the Account Exists page is displayed and the user is prompted to click the “Recover Account” button.

  • The Recover Account page is then displayed and the user is prompted to enter their Date of Birth and Last Name.

  • Once the user finishes the recovery process, the user should be forced to change their password. Only upon a successful password change will the account be recovered.

  • Once the account is recovered, user should see appropriate messaging, be auto logged in and systematically navigated to the correct place based on the URL/metadata.

Legacy OpenCCC Account Recovery Process

As of March 20, 2021, over 11 million OpenCCC accounts have been created by California Community Colleges students. With the implementation of the new account creation, matching, and recovery processes, legacy account holders will be prompted to update and verify their accounts by going through the recovery process in order to confirm unique credentials and comply with the new multi-factor authentication process. This one-time process is easy and clear to existing users. See screen shots below.

What is a Legacy OpenCCC Account?

A legacy account is a unique OpenCCC account that was created prior to the new system being launched in this release. Legacy accounts were created using a process that no longer exists, including the use of security questions and responses, usernames, and PIN numbers that are no longer used in the creation, matching, and recovery processes.

Legacy Account Recovery Process

  • On the new Sign In page, the user is prompted to enter their email address or mobile phone number.

  • If the user’s email address or mobile number is recognized by the system, the Account Exists page is displayed, directing the user to proceed through the Recover Account process.

  • During the recovery process, the user will be required to update their password.

  • Upon successful recovery and sign in, the user will be auto-directed and logged in to the application they intended to access.

The Update Password Requirement

  • Once the existing account holder attempts to sign in to the new system for the first time, they will be directed to the Update Password page, which is part of the account recovery process.

Security Note: Increased security measures have been implemented throughout the new Account creation and recovery processes. The Update Password process includes creating a password with more stringent and modern security practices. The required format is clearly specified.

All data dictionaries and user documentation will be available well in advance of the release.


Changes to CCCApply Applications

A significant portion of this release will feature changes and enhancements to all CCCApply applications, as well as specific changes within individual CCCApply applications. Below is a list of the change sections.


In This Section:

Changes to All CCCApply Applications

The most significant changes being implemented to the CCCApply applications are related to the redesign and integration of the new Edit Account Profile service, including the display, review and edit functionality that ensures the user’s account information is up-to-date and accurate as it is passed to the college through the CCCApply submitted applications.

These changes include moving the ability for users to view and edit their account information from inside the CCCApply applications to the My Applications page, the redesign and renaming of the Account Information page, and adding several account fields - which were removed from the OpenCCC Account Creation process - into CCCApply.

In This Section:

The changes described in this “Changes to All CCCApply Applications” section have been implemented in every CCCApply application, including the California Colleges Promise Grant application.

What Has Not Changed?

  • First-time users will still be auto-directed to their destination application immediately following account creation

  • Returning users will still land on their My Applications page after signing in to resume or start a new CCCApply application

  • Standard & Noncredit applications will still auto-fill from the user’s most recent submitted application (if within 2 years)

  • Returning users can still resume an in-progress - or review a submitted - application from their My Applications page

  • Applicants can still set their preferred language (English or Spanish) and link out to their OpenCCC Account from the Settings menu in any CCCApply application

Changes to the Edit Account Process in CCCApply

The most significant change being implemented to the CCCApply applications is the redesign of the Edit Account system and the ability for users to review and edit their OpenCCC account information from a page within the CCCApply application(s) itself. The new implementation has removed the Review Your OpenCCC Account display and link from the Account Information page and moved the section to the My Applications page; thus asking the user to ensure their account information is current and accurate before resuming or starting a new application.

Note: Users also have access to their OpenCCC Account at any time from the Settings menu in the header of all CCCApply application pages.

Changes to the Account Information Page in CCCApply

As part of the new OpenCCC Account integration with CCCApply, the following changes to the Account Information page were made consistently across each of the CCCApply applications.

BEFORE: The Old Account Information Page

  • The Account Information page appeared in every CCCApply application, including the CCCApply International application and the CC Promise Grant application.

  • The top section of the page - known as the Review OpenCCC Account Information - displayed the user’s existing account information details and a link to edit their account data as needed.

  • Any edits made to their account information were stored and passed to the college with the application data at the time of submission.

AFTER: The New Profile Page

  • The previous Account Information page has been redesigned and is now called the Profile page.

  • The Profile page will now appear in every CCCApply application, including the CC Promise Grant.

  • The Review OpenCCC Account Information section has been moved to the My Applications page.

The Previous/Other Name Fields

  • As part of the OpenCCC Account redesign, the “Previous Name” question (and all associated data fields) has been moved to the Profile page in all CCCApply applications.

  • No changes were made to the data fields or the question format, conditions, or error validations.

Changes to the My Applications Page

Consistent with the changes made to align with the new OpenCCC Edit Account system and the legacy edit account modules in CCCApply, the new My Applications page in CCCApply features the new Account Information section display and “Edit My Account” link to OpenCCC.

New My Applications Page Interface Design

  • New modern interface design and user flow, consistent with all Student Success Suite applications.

  • Settings menu includes English/Spanish language toggle and link to OpenCCC Account.

New Account Information Section & Account Integration

  • New Account Information section and data integration displays the user’s existing account information and link to the OpenCCC Edit Account system.

  • Logic added to display a user notification message if account data is older than 120 days, encouraging the user to review and update their information if needed.

Changes to the Standard & Noncredit Application

The following section describes the changes that were made specifically to the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Applications.

In this Section:

Social Security Number Question Moves to the CCCApply Profile Page

The new Social Security Number question recently redesigned in 2020 in its legacy position in the legacy OpenCCC Account system (release 6.6.0) has been moved to the new Profile page in the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application (only).

Social Security Number Question Notes

  • New streamlined layout design released in 2020

  • Question moved to the new CCCApply Profile page in the Standard & Noncredit App only

  • No changes were made to onscreen text or Help language

  • SSN information from existing accounts will be auto-populated into CCCApply if available

  • No changes were made to the existing SSN data fields

NOTE: Social Security Number information will ONLY be collected in the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Applications.

The Parent/Guardian Information Question Redesign

In response to multiple requests from colleges to improve the way CCCApply identifies the dependency status of minors in the Standard & Noncredit application, the CCCApply product team, in conjunction with the CCCApply Steering Committee and the CCC Chancellor’s Office, has revised the layout of the Parent/Guardian Information question to minimize confusion and help minors self-identify their dependency status accurately.

Changes Support More Accurate Dependency Status Data

  • The purpose of the Parent/Guardian Information question is to determine a minor student’s dependency status based on the criteria mandated by the California education code and the Student Admissions & Account Manual (SAAM) governed by the CCCCO.

  • The question layout has been redesigned but was not moved from the Profile page.

  • The question only appears IF the applicant is Under 19 years old. This has not changed.

  • Minor changes were made to the question language under the guidance and approval of the CCC Chancellor’s Office.

New Response Option for Foster Youth Minors

  • To better support minors who are or were in foster care any time after their 13th birthday select the correct response option to determine their dependency status, a new response option was added to the <dependent_status> data field.

  • The language used for the foster youth option was approved by the CCC Chancellor’s Office and the John Burton Foundation.

Data Field Notes

  • No other changes were made to the existing data fields or the question format, conditions, or error validations.

  • The original response options didn’t change, we just flipped the format of how they are displayed:

New Layout for the Parent/Guardian Information Question

BEFORE: Old Parent/Guardian Information Layout

  • Current version layout is confusing, causing minors to select the wrong response option and thereby resulting in the wrong Dependency Status for the minor.

  • The previous order of response options has led to a high number of students to claim they are independent minors when they are actually dependent minors under the care and control of a parent or guardian.

AFTER: The New Parent/Guardian Information Layout

  • The new layout changes and the new order of the response options makes it easier for dependent students to accurately self-identify as a minor under the care and control of a parent or guardian.

  • The order of the response options (radio buttons) has been flipped, placing the option, “I have a parent or guardian”, to the first position - as the majority of minors are dependents and do have a parent or guardian.

  • The new option for foster youth minors is now prominently displayed for this demographic.

  • The language changes are more inclusive of AB540 and eligible nonresident students.

  • No changes were made to the <dependent_status> data field, display conditions, or error validations.

New Ability to Display Different Terms in the Noncredit Application

This enhancement was requested by the CCCApply Noncredit Application Sub-committee in order to allow different terms to display depending on the CCCApply application being submitted. In order to facilitate this customization, a new “App Type” configurable setting has been added to the Terms module in the CCCApply Administrator for the Standard and Noncredit Applications.

Display Different Terms in the Noncredit Application

  • Colleges can now configure CCCApply Terms to display (appear) in either the Standard Application, the Noncredit Application, or both applications using the new “Application Type” setting in the CCCApply Administrator.

  • Using the new admin setting, colleges have the ability to display unique term codes, descriptions, start & end dates, and open & close dates in their Noncredit Application.

Set Up Information: To display

Updates to the CCCApply Administrator & Report Center

This section describes the enhancements, bug fixes, and other updates completed for the CCCApply Administrator, CCCApply Report Center, and other dependent tools and services related to the CCCApply applications.

New “Application Type” Setting Added to the Terms Module

Implement Different Terms in the Noncredit Application

  • A new “Application Type” setting has been added to the Terms module for the Standard & Noncredit Application (only) to allow colleges to implement different terms in their Noncredit Application, if desired.

  • Using the Application Type setting, unique terms intended solely for the Noncredit Application could have different term codes, term descriptions, start & end dates, and open & close dates compared to their Standard Application.

  • The Application Type acts like a flag, and is not a downloadable field.

  • The new setting is designed to be backwards compatible; if the college is not using the Noncredit Application, or opts not to set up different terms for each application, do not need to do anything to prepare for this enhancement.

Important Implementation Notes

  • New and existing Terms can implement the Application Type setting manually or using the Import Terms process.

  • IF the college chooses to implement the Application Type setting for one Term, then ALL TERMS MUST BE UPDATED with the Application Type setting.

  • Colleges that are not using the Noncredit Application do NOT have to do anything (make any changes) to their existing Terms set up for CCCApply.

  • The Application Type setting is NOT implemented in the International Application.

Using the Application Type setting is OPTIONAL; the default state when the new setting is not employed - is to display all Terms in both the Standard & Noncredit Applications.
