OpenCCC Account Data Fields
See the Changes to Data Fields & Data Delivery section for a complete list of all new and deprecated Account data fields, as well as the data fields that were moved from the OpenCCC Account system to the CCCApply applications. Data dictionaries and other user documentation detailing data field specifications are linked in the User Documentation section below.
Deprecated Data Fields (NO LONGER USED)
When the new OpenCCC Account system was released in January 2022, a number of questions were removed from the OpenCCC Account system. The data fields listed below are no longer collected in the new Account, and data is no longer passed to colleges with CC Promise Grant submitted applications.
Main Phone Extension
Main Phone Authorized Text Message
No First Name (flag)
No Middle Name
Preferred Middle Name
Preferred Last Name
Second Phone Number
Second Phone Number Extension
Second Phone Authorized Text Message
Second Phone International
Security Questions 1 - 3
Note regarding deprecated fields: Although some information is no longer collected in the new Account system, legacy fields remain stored in the CCCApply and CCPG databases.
Logic Changes
Two changes were made to the Method A Flag & Algorithm logic to include applicable responses to the two new Special Eligibilities questions that were added in this release.
The Method A eligibility determination is based on Yes/No answers to questions about receiving benefits and about special eligibility circumstances.
Exonerated of Crime/Pardon Eligibility
IF eligExoneratedCrime = “yes” (or)then elig_method_a = "Yes";
else elig_method_a = "No"
COVID-19 Death Eligibility
IF eligCovidDeath = “yes” (or)
then elig_method_a = "Yes";else elig_method_a = "No"
If the applicant answers “Yes” (= True) to either or both questions, the <elig_method_a> flag is triggered, which is used to calculate the final elig_BOGFW status
For details see Appendix A: Algorithms > Method A Logic in the 2022-2023 California College Promise Grant Online Application Specification & Data Dictionary.
