Join members of the CCCApply Steering Committee and residency experts from the CCC Chancellor's Office for a presentation and Q&A session on the CCCApply residency algorithm and how it calculates the “preliminary” residency determination status and the AB540 eligibility status.

We'll breakdown the four residency logic areas (A-D), which are calculated separately first, and then combined to calculate the overall residency status. We'll also discuss how the Integrity Flags are used to alert Admissions staff about residency status and priority registration indicators.

• AB540 Eligibility
• Area A: Citizenship
• Area B: Stay and Intent
• Area C: Military Exemptions
• Area D: Special Exemptions

• Overall Residency Evaluation
• Special Cases Not Evaluated
• Residency Integrity Flags
• Residency Status Change Flag
• Residency Updates for 2017

Featured Discussion: We'll explore the state laws and regulations behind the residency logic (see the list of questions/data fields that are used in the residency algorithm) as well as some of the hot topics related to establishing residency for Noncredit students, ESL, Prisoners, and other special populations.

We'll explore:

• Residency requirements in the Ed Code and Title V
• Residency requirements for Noncredit students
• The questions and data fields that are required to determine residency

This popular session should appeal to new and experienced users of the CCCApply Standard Application, and particularly recent adopters who are transitioning to CCCApply from a homegrown application.
