CCCApply Redesign Workgroup Update
The Chancellor’s Office, the CCC Technology Center, and the Foundation for California Community Colleges, in collaboration with the community colleges and in partnership with ideas42, are redesigning the CCCApply experience with a student-centered approach in mind.
The CCCApply Redesign Workgroup is being led by CCCCO Vice Chancellor, Omid Pourzanjani. More information about the redesign effort can be found on the CCC Digital Futures website: https://digitalfutures.cccco.edu/
CCCApply Redesign Project
This article appears on the Digital Futures website: CCCApply overhaul to be driven by student-centered design and behavioral sciences
- NEED: Current Status / Update on the Ideas42 Study on CCCApply
- Ongoing study and anticipated recommendations on the Ideas42 CCCApply study is still underway.
- The projected date for the Final Recommendation Report was October 2018.
- As of today's meeting (Thursday, November 29, 2018) communication that the final report has been submitted to the Chancellor's Office has not been relayed to CCCApply product manager.
Hoping the the behavioral study would provide feedback from students - like:
What other areas could benefit from skip logic?
What areas could benefit from new question text?
What areas in particular are students needing support?
What areas in particular were creating barriers for students?
Where are the results from student focus groups? What were the questions asked?
Where are the results from staff & admin focus groups? What questions were asked?
Was a comparative analysis done on other admissions, financial aid, on-boarding technology programs? What questions were asked? Where is the RFI / matrix breakdown comparison?
- Better descriptions for skill level of hands on training/labs/ activities
- Demos in the morning
- The steering committees role?
- More leadership is needed from the Chancellor’s Office for the workshop
- There appears to be a residency change field that is unused.
- Mitch and Patty will look through change requests in a separate meeting

CCCApply: Project News
Project news as of March 28, 2019.
See Project News from the last Steering meeting on November 29, 2018.
- CCCApply Project -
- Summary of Scope, Schedule, Budget (Charter draft) under-development for FY2019
- Other Changes: Changes to teams: development teams, support staff, enabling services,
- CCCApply Users Workgroup: Changes to a workgroup model instead of a steering committee. CCCApply will be restructured into a workgroup.
Issues
Communication to the Field has been lacking and a problem.
Restructuring of the CCCApply Steering Committee
How does this affect the existing CCCApply Steering Committee?
- Not too much will change - more virtual meetings vs. in-person meetings
- Won't be called "Steering" anymore - new name: CCCApply User Workgroup
- No longer need a quorum for meetings or approvals
- Bylaws & Constitution: No longer structured around a Constitution & Bylaws, but minutes will still be required.
Questions:
Does it make sense to have the Workshop structured and guided by the Steering committee then? (Mitch Leahy)
Answer: We still need guidance from this group on direction/sessions/ tracks
REMINDER - CCCApply Workshop is very popular! New A&R staff rely on this as a way to meet, connect, learn and get information. Last year: almost 300 attendees.
Changes to the traditional Steering Committee model - to a Workgroup model > group relies on the members to produce outcomes and guidance, versus requirements/approvals. Steering Committee was about governance across system. CO is centralizing these groups, focused on user participation and college end-users.

Archive & Parking Lot
2018 Parking Lot Carry-Over
Change Request Parking Lot
- Continue working moving the Consent to Release mechanism to the beginning of the application.
- Add a survey to the Abandonment email or somewhere - asking for feedback on why they abandoned the application. Great suggestion.
- For research purposes, review *Google analytics data to determine if colleges are lingering on this page (Review Application) OR if we know if students are going back to fix or change anything? Look into it.
- ACTION ITEM: Patty is still transitioning information and on-boarding ownership of the OpenCCC project to the new Product Manager team. However, John will be included in all User Group activities, and we will work together on a communication to this committee and to all CCCApply users regarding the transition in project management and update the field on a similar upcoming OpenCCC Redesign project.
Changes to the Steering Committee - Moving to a Users work group model > group relies on the members to produce outcomes and guidance, versus requirements/approvals. Steering Committee was about governance across system. CO is centralizing these groups, focused on user participation and college end-users.
