California Schools & Colleges lists used in CCCApply are not maintained manually in the database. Official school information with codes (CDS and CEEB) are maintained by the CDE and the College Board. See more below.

Overview
CCCApply maintains a school “look-up” feature as part of CCCApply. This allows students to select a High School or previous College and automatically the CDS and CEEB code attach to the application record, thus the code(s) becomes part of the download file imported into a College’s SIS application.
CCC Technology center receives updates every 4-6 weeks. These files are uploaded to the database quarterly, then accessed by students during the application process.
Goals
Share the process steps with California Community College staff, to enable them to assist educational institutions to gain either or both a CDS or CEEB code.
Share the sites that educational institutions may use to request a CDS or CEEB code, and make corrections / changes to their institutions information.
