| Application | Scope |
|---|---|
| Response to State Audit. Accessibility Release 5.3.0 | |
Display the CCCID in the Header of All Application Pages | |
| CCCApply Standard | Null Values for Gender (and other) Fields in Downloads |
| BOG Fee Waiver | 2016-2017 BOG Fee Waiver Application Release Other BOG Bug Fixes |
A summary of all accessibility changes is posted here: Accessibility Release 5.3.0
What's was happening:
Certain fields, such as the Gender field <gender>, that include a value of Null were not being stored and returned properly through the Download Client. They were storing and returning an empty string value "" or a blank string " ".
Expected behavior:
If the student skips the <gender> field question, the application should store and return _null_in the download file. As per the Data Dictionary/specification when a student does not interact with the Gender question. Per federal law - Office of Civil Rights - we cannot require that a student identify themselves with a specific gender; therefore this question cannot be a "required" question on the application.
Current behavior:
We corrected the application DB to store a Null value for Gender field <gender> and ensured the null value is correctly transferred to the Download Client.
Below are the four response values that should be stored and returned per the CCCApply Data Dictionary:
M - Male
F - Female
X - Decline to State
Null - no response

To provide students with an easy way to identify their CCCID (OpenCCC Student Account Identification Number), the user's CCCID was placed in the header of the user's My Applications page and the OpenCCC My Account page. Since the CCCID cannot be edited by the user, this will not affect performance.
