Release Summary
This is a major release but includes only a few key changes. The maintenance window for the OpenCCC and CCCApply PILOT environment will begin at 5:00 pm on Monday, November 16, 2020.
Our goal for this release is to expedite an update to the CCCApply Standard and Noncredit applications to align to MIS DED changes made to SB11 and SB15 which were enacted in July, 2020. Other key changes include the critical CCCApply International Application to MyPath integration link, allowing MyPath colleges to streamline the onboarding and matriculation process for F1 international students.
Pilot Preview: Release 6.8.0 changes will be deployed first to the CCCApply PILOT (sandbox) environment for college preview and testing prior to the production release currently scheduled for early December 2020.
Getting to the CCCApply Pilot Environment: Authorized college faculty and staff can preview the release changes in your college’s Pilot environment. Visit the Pilot Environment page for more information.
CCCApply Content Changes
Changes to Align with CCCCO MIS DED Changes in Support of SB554: Adult Education Special Admit
CCCApply is implementing several small changes to key data fields on the Education page in order to align with recent MIS DED changes to SB11 and SB15. These MIS changes were made to comply with California Senate Bill 554 (SB554) allowing students currently enrolled in an adult education program in pursuit of a Certificate of High School Proficiency to also be permitted to enroll at a California community college.
A summary of user interface and data field changes includes:
A new data value and response option added to the College Enrollment Status question for adult school special admits
A new data value and response option added to the High School Education Level question for adult school special admits
A new data value and response option added to the Last School Attended question for adult school students
The format for the Last School Attended question was changed as follows:
The question format was changed from multiple radio buttons to a dropdown menu
The section heading was revised from “Last High School Attended” to “Last School Attended”
The Help text was updated as needed in English and Spanish
The onscreen and Help text for the School Finder function was updated as needed
Key Points
All changes have been implemented in the CCCApply Standard and Noncredit applications only
All text and language changes have been implemented in English and Spanish
The School Finder includes most state and national adult schools
There are no new or deprecated data fields and therefore there are no changes required to college downloads or Glue files
There are no change implementations required by colleges
All new data values will appear in the CCCApply Report Center and CCCApply Administrator Rules
See the Breakdown of Changes & Screenshots below for detailed summary of change specifications and screenshots.
MyPath Feature Enhancement
New Integrated Pathway Between the CCCApply International Application and MyPath
The CCCApply International Application has been enhanced with an integrated workflow path into MyPath, the college-configurable onboarding and matriculation tool developed by the CCC Tech Center.
Similar to the workflow path that exists between the CCCApply Standard and Noncredit applications, colleges can now streamline the admission process for their F1, M1 students with customizable advisor cards, email and SMS text message notifications, and a document upload tool.
