Residency Review Committee
The Residency Review Committee is an ongoing advisory group that meets - at a minimum - twice per year, and as needed to review residency-related issues for CCCApply.
Committee Name | Residency Review Committee |
---|---|
Purpose | Ongoing advisory committee to support and advise on CCCApply residency related issues and change requests. With the revisions underway to upgrade the 2005 CCCApply Steering Bylaws & Constitution, the Steering Committee has determined that the CCCApply residency algorithm (Standard Application) should be reviewed to ensure it is up-to-date, accurate, and meeting the Ed Code and CACCRAO standards for residency in the CCC system. NOTE: A request was made to have an outside expert review the algorithm. However, due to budget constraints, Steering voted to complete an internal sub-committee review first, then based on the findings, consider a second, external review. |

Previous Committees Notes
Update 8.03.16: The Administrator 2.0 sub-committee convened two meetings in June and July 2016 to discuss the new CCC Administrator tool currently under-development. The attendees at each meeting contributed usability feedback and requirements suggestions for the Tems, Majors and Supplemental Questions modules.
Several key requirements emerged:
- College-controlled alignment capability between Education Goals and individual Majors in order to facilitate a branching of Majors in the Standard & International applications. The corresponding UI/UX changes will need to be coordinated so the user can select their Education Goal first, then the major. This implementation has been requested in the past (also known as the Ed Goal Alignment) and another sub-committee is being formed to help review the implementation from a research and maintenance perspective;
- A new optional CIP code field is being added alongside the TOP code and Program Control Number fields;
- A new, user-friendly Supplemental Questions-generating module is being designed for staff that complies with WCAG 2.0 AA accessibility standards.

CCCApply UX & Design Advisory Committee
CCCApply in Maintenance Mode
In March 2016, the CCC Technology Center completed development of the CCCApply International Application, the third and final application in the CCCApply Applications Suite.
With essentially all new development complete in this iteration of CCCApply, the Tech Center moved the CCCApply project into maintenance mode, which means that resources will continue to be allocated for bug fixes and high-priority change requests, but that the development team can now focus resources on supporting the SSO Proxy and other systemwide technology projects, such as the Student Services Portal and the Common Assessment Initiative, that require integration of the OpenCCC account system and application data.
CCCApply 3.0
While the development team focuses on efforts to integrate CCCApply into the Portal, the Product Manager will work with the CCCApply Steering Committee to develop a vision, roadmap and high-level functional requirements for a new and improved admissions application framework that will feature an accessible, responsive, internationalized, form-builder design in order to meet the evolving needs of our diverse CCC student population.
Committee Name | NEW CCCApply UI/UX Design Advisory Committee | ||

Purpose | The goal for this committee is to ensure that the vision and high level requirements for the next version of CCCApply online admissions application for the California Community Colleges complies with the 2017-2019 CCCTC Grant Workplan, and is documented for future development.
