For consistency purposes, the CCC Chancellor's Office and the Icanaffordcollege.com team have requested that the language and links pertaining to the Board of Governor's Fee Waiver application (BOG) on the CCCApply.org > Money page be revised to align to the stepped information on the www.icanaffordcollege.com website.  


Proposed Solution

The BOG information that appears on the CCCApply.org website will be updated to better align to Icanaffordcollege.com.  The language proposed by Icanaffordcollege.com has been approved by the CCCApply Steering Committee and will be used to replace the existing text and links as detailed below.

4/21/16:  Notes for Patty only...

Met with Sandoval and reviewed how the proposed stepped information (and side bar) info create a divergent path for the student user within the Icanaffordcollege.com website. (specifically Step 2 which includes some information about the FAFSA and actually guides the student out of their site to the FAFsA to provide info needed for the BOG fee waiver.

Sandoval will take a stab at revising/proposing a process that works with the new structure and we'll regroup based on what he comes up with.
