Introduction

The CCCApply Administrator is the admin configuration tool for the CCCApply suite of online applications, including the Standard, Noncredit and International admission applications, the California College Promise Grant Online application, and other integrated systemwide technology applications developed by the California Community Colleges Technology Center (CCCTC). The CCCApply Administrator can be accessed by authorized staff and faculty users from the Applications menu in the CCC Administrator.

Contents


General Information

The CCCApply Administrator User Guide provides authorized college users with implementation and admin configuration instructions for setting up and maintaining individual CCCApply applications.  This document is updated regularly to reflect changes and new functionality implemented with CCCApply application version releases and as needed.

Scope of Document

The CCCApply Administrator User Guide addresses:

  • getting to the CCCApply Administrator

  • adding and editing authorized users in the User Manager

  • configuring required and optional features/functionality

  • importing and exporting custom Supplemental Questions (optional)

  • using the application-specific Utilities including the Reset Downloads tool and the Spam Filter user interface

  • navigating within and between administrator modules for individual CCCApply applications

 

Out-of-Scope

This Guide does not cover the specifications for configuring and managing custom (optional) supplemental questions. Those details are covered in the Working with Supplemental Questions User Guide.

This Guide does not address application “front-end” specifications such as application questions and responses, format definitions, display conditions, algorithms, or data element specifications. These specs are addressed in the CCCApply data dictionaries, crosswalks, user guides, and other end-user documents located throughout the CCCApply Public Documentation site.

Development Environments: Use and Support

CCCTC maintains two parallel development environments for systemwide Student Success Suite (SSS) applications, including OpenCCC, CCCApply, CCCMyPath, and other integrated products and services. The CCCTC Production environment delivers the “live” system to end-users, while the Pilot environment provides colleges and districts with a sandbox environment for initial implementations of SSS applications and services, and to stage and test changes to their configurations prior to planned and unplanned product updates and new service roll-outs.

The CCCApply Pilot environment is designed to be a carbon copy of the Production environment, giving colleges a sandbox to stage configuration changes and test planned and unplanned updates prior to production roll-outs.


CCCApply Pilot Applications & Administrator

Colleges are provided an integrated, end-to-end Pilot environment for each of the CCCApply applications implemented. Authorized college staff are given Pilot user accounts and custom application URLs, configured to their college or district MIS code. Access to the CCCApply Pilot environment by way of secure IdP is available Monday - Friday, from 8:00am - 4:00pm PST.

Pilot Use & Support

The Pilot environment is not actively monitored for errors and issues in the same way as the Production environment and there is no designated support team in place to respond to Pilot environment issues. It is recommended that college staff personnel use the online support community - ccctechnology.info - to communicate issues, ask questions, and request assistance. The CCCTC Helpdesk and college staff support engineers monitor and triage all incoming posts during business hours and endeavor to respond within 48 hours to Pilot environment issues. Depending on the issue’s nature, resolution time may vary.

 

Enabling Services: Implementation & Support

The CCCTC Enabling Services (ES) provides a common-services delivery team for the purpose of ensuring successful adoptions and implementations, and support of Student Success Suite applications and other integrated CCCTC technology solutions across all California Community Colleges.

The Enabling Services team strives to build strong, customer-centric relationships with colleges throughout the implementation process with the following support representatives:

Core Application Administrators

The CCC Administrator is the central admin configuration and user management tool for the CCCApply Applications, the CC Promise Grant Online Application, and other integrated systemwide applications. Providing a single point-of-entry, college staff and faculty the ability to configure application settings and customize rules and messages, this scalable service provides a launch pad to integrated admin tools from a single point-of-entry.

Colleges are provided college-specific URLs - configured to their college/district IdP and integrated with the SSO proxy - which authenticates users as they land on the home page. Integrated admin tools, such as the CCCApply Administrator system, no longer have direct URL access. 

 

The System Administrator module provides User & Access management to authorized users, defining scope of permissions via one set of user credentials (one user account per user, per environment). 

The User Manager is a module under the System Administrator application..
CCC Administrator Homepage

  • SSO-based authentication to all CCC colleges through custom college-specific URLs configured to their college or district IdP

  • User management for all authorized CCC college staff and faculty users 

  • Access management to all integrated CCCTC administrator applications and services through a single point-of-entry

 

User Manager

(Applications->System Administrator->User Manager)

The User Manager module allows authorized users to view, add, edit, and delete* users within the scope of their own authorized user permissions. The User Manager section provides the ability for users with authorized role(s) to create new users and permissions for your college or district.

Editing a Term

Use the following steps to edit a term.

  1. Select the Edit icon on the row for the term that you want to edit.

 


2.  Make your edits and click Save to close the Edit Term dialog box and return focus to the Terms Summary table with the edited term displayed.

Archiving a Term

Archiving terms in CCCApply Administrator renders them inaccessible and should be thought of as the same as deleting them. Archive functionality will be extended to be fully functional in a future release.

Use the following steps to archive a Term.

  1. Select the Archive icon on the row for the term that you want to edit. This displays the Archive Term dialog box.

  2. Click Confirm to archive the term. The Archive Term confirmation dialog box closes and focus returns to the Terms Summary table where the archived term no longer displays.



 

Exporting Terms

Use the following steps to export all terms to a .csv file.

  1. Choose either CCCApply or International from the Applications drop-down list and then click Terms to display the Terms module.




  2. Click Export Terms to display the Export Terms dialog box:



  3. Click Confirm to immediately download an export of all of your terms to a .csv file on your computer’s default download location (i.e. the Downloads folder on a Mac).

Editing the Terms Export CSV File

The export function produces a .csv file describing the terms, and the import function requires a .csv file in exactly the same format. Unless you have experience with text editors and CSV files, the best way to edit your .csv file may be with a spreadsheet application such as Microsoft Excel or OpenOffice Calc. However, these applications may have default date settings that may apply to dates you enter, so you may have to apply the correct date format (i.e. mm/dd/yyyy hh:mm a) to any new dates and/or times. Remember to save the file in CSV format when you are finished editing it.

  1. Open the downloaded terms .csv file on your computer using the application of your choice (MicroSoft Excel is recommended).

  2. Edit the terms data as needed. It is assumed your intention is to add new terms and/or edit the terms displayed in order to import them for new values for either your CCCApply or International application. Use the table below as a guide.

Terms CSV File Element

Purpose

Terms CSV File Element

Purpose

Header row (i.e. row 1 that reads left to right: code, description, start, etc.)

The header row is required in order for your .csv file to import correctly and the values to be stored properly by the CCCApply Administrator.

Date format

Must be in mm/dd/yyyy format. You may need to apply non-default formatting to date fields you enter in an Excel application to ensure it matches the required format. Simple text editors will likely not apply a default date format to the .csv file, but the display may not be as organized.

Time format

The time format must be in hh:mm a (or hh:mm p) format. I.e. 07:00 AM or 10:00 PM.

 

  1. Once you are done adding/editing terms, save the .csv file using your software’s Save As option.

  2. Edit the file name to be unique and confirm that the file extension displays as .csv.

  3. Your terms .csv file is now ready to be imported.

 

Importing Terms

You use a .csv file to import terms into the CCCApply Administrator. The easiest way to do this is usually to export the current terms and then edit the file since a header row and some configuration details are required.

The table below details the add and update functionality for terms imports (no deleting or archiving of any terms occurs upon import).

If you import a Terms CSV file and...

...then

If you import a Terms CSV file and...

...then

no existing term(s) values were changed but new terms are added to the .csv file

the new terms are added to the CCCApply Administrator Terms Summary table and depending on the Term Open Date(s) will appear in the CCCApply application(s)

existing term(s) values were changed

the edited terms will be updated in the CCCApply Administrator Terms Summary table and depending on the Term Open Date(s) will appear in the CCCApply application(s)

existing term(s) values were changed AND new term(s) were added

the new term(s) will be added and the edited terms will be updated in the CCCApply Administrator Terms Summary table and depending on the Term Open Date(s) will appear in the CCCApply application(s)


Use the following steps to import terms.

  1. Have ready an edited .csv file of terms for importing. See Editing the Exported Terms CSV File for details.

  2. From the Terms Summary table, click Import Terms to display…



    ...the Import Terms dialog box:




  3. Click Choose File to display your computer’s file navigator.



  4. Navigate and select the terms .csv file you want to import. The file name for the file you selected displays next to the Choose File button.

  5. Click Import to import the terms .csv file, close the Import Terms dialog box, and display the Terms Summary table where all rows are replaced/updated and the terms list refreshes to match your imported values.

Configuring Majors

The Majors module is where you can add, edit, archive, import, and export majors and categories. The Majors module is available for the CCCApply Standard, Noncredit, and International applications.

If your college is implementing the Noncredit Application for the very first time, you MUST identify which majors/programs should appear in the Noncredit application (vs. the CCCApply Standard Application) or no majors will appear for the Noncredit Application. This applies to new and existing majors and programs. The most efficient way to ensure the appropriate majors are available in the Noncredit Application is to export your list of majors for the CCCApply Standard application in a CSV file, add/edit that file as needed for your Noncredit Application majors, set the appropriate Application Type setting for Standard, Noncredit, or Both, save the CSV file, and then re-import the file.

Adding a Major

The majors you define for the CCCApply Standard, Noncredit, and International applications are not the same. Some amount of configuration is required for each application.

For example:

  • CCCApply vs. International Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and then select International from the Applications drop-down list, the major you just defined for the CCCApply Standard application will not appear in the Majors table for the International application. If you want a given major to be available on both applications, you must create it separately for each application. Or, you may import the major (or list of majors) into both applications (i.e. you can create majors in one application, export those majors, and then import those majors into the other application).

  • CCCApply vs. Noncredit Majors: If you choose CCCApply from the Applications drop-down list and define a major, and you want that major to also display for the Noncredit application, you will want to select Both from the Application Type drop-down list in the Major dialog box when manually creating a major. Otherwise the major defaults to Standard application display. As with the International application, you can choose to import the major (or list of majors) into both applications.

To add a major manually:

  1. Log into the CCC Administrator -> CCCApply Administrator.

  2. If you are a multi-college district, select the college for which you want to configure majors from the Select a college drop-down list. If your college is not in a multi-college district, your college displays by default.

  3. Select either CCCApply or International from the Applications drop-down list.

  4. Click the Majors link from the modules menu bar to display the Majors table.

  5. Click the Add Major button to display the Add Major dialog box to define the major.

  1. Enter and/or select values in the available fields to define the major. Use the Best Practice table below for instructions and helpful tips when populating the Add Major dialog box.

8. Click Save to add the new major. Once saved, your new major will be added to the Majors summary table in the CCCApply Administrator.

 

Editing a Major

Use the following steps to edit a major:

  1. Select the Edit icon on the row for the major that you want to edit.  This will display the Edit Major dialog box.

  2. Make your edits and click Save to close the Edit Major dialog box and return focus to the Majors table.

Archiving a Major

Archiving majors in the CCCApply Administrator renders them inaccessible and should be thought of as the same as deleting them. Archive functionality will be extended to be fully functional in a future release.

Use the following steps to archive a major:

  1. Select the Archive icon on the row for the major that you want to edit.  This displays the Archive Major confirmation dialog box:

  2. Click Confirm to archive the major. The Archive Major confirmation dialog box closes and focus returns to the Majors table where the archived major no longer displays.

Editing & Formatting the Majors CSV File

The Export Majors function downloads your majors list to a .csv file. The Import Majors function requires this .csv file in the exact same format. Please be aware that editing and formatting this file correctly is critical for a successful import of your majors and categories. Be sure to save the file in CSV format when you have finished editing it.

 

Editing Steps

  1. Open the downloaded Majors .csv file on your computer using the application of your choice (Excel or another spreadsheet program is recommended).

  2. Edit the majors data as needed. Use the table below as a guide for configuring each data column.

  3. Once you are done editing your majors or adding new majors, save the file using your software’s Save As option.

  4. Edit the file name to be unique and confirm that the file extension is .csv.

  5. Your Majors .csv file is now ready to be imported.

 

Ensure that you adhere to the following rules when you edit and populate your Majors CSV file.

Reminder: Majors for the International Application requires a separate Majors CSV file. The same file format and rules apply for the International Application (differences are specified where applicable).

Importing Majors

Use your properly configured .csv file to import your majors list into the CCCApply Administrator. As detailed in the sections above, the safest, most efficient way to do this is to export the current majors and then edit the file since a header row and some configuration details are required.

The table below details the add and update functionality for majors imports (no deleting or archiving of any majors occurs upon import).

If you import a majors CSV file and...

...then

If you import a majors CSV file and...

...then

no existing major(s) values were changed but new majors are added to the .csv file

the new majors are added to the Administrator Majors summary table and will appear in the designated CCCApply application.

existing major(s) values were changed

the changed majors are updated in the Administrator Majors table and will appear changed in the CCCApply application.

existing major(s) values were changed AND new major(s) were added

the new major(s) are added and the changed majors are updated in the CCCApply Administrator Majors table and will appear in the CCCApply/Noncredit or International application(s)


Use the following steps to import majors.

  1. Using the same exact format in the export file, edit and prepare your Majors CSV file for import.

  2. If you navigated away from the Majors module in the Administrator (where you exported your majors list), select the appropriate CCCApply application from the Applications drop-down list.

  3. From the Majors module, click the Import Majors button to display the Import Majors dialog box.





     

  4. Click Choose File to display your computer’s file navigator.

How Your Majors & Categories Display in the CCCApply Applications

The default sort order for all majors and programs of study that appear in the Intended Major or Program of Study dropdown is alphabetical order by the Major Description field. Colleges can edit the Major Description of each major in the Majors module in the CCCApply Administrator. Majors must be configured (individually or via Majors CSV file) for the CCCApply Standard and the CCCApply International applications, separately. Majors and programs must also be configured separately for the Noncredit application by using the Application Type <applicationType> setting in the CCCApply (Standard) Majors module.

Enabling the Education Goal/Majors Filter

The Education Goal / Majors Filter for Associate Degrees is an optional filter that when enabled allows colleges to streamline their list of available majors and categories if/when applicants select the Education Goal option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”. This feature is designed to support legislation: AB-928: Student Transfer Achievement Reform Act of 2021.

How it Works

This feature is based on a simple design:

  • IF the filter is enabled, AND IF the end-user selects the Education Goal option to “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution” option (only)

Then…

  • majors with any one of the following award types: AA_degree, AA_T, AS_degree, AS_T - will display listed in alphabetical order by the Major Description <description>)

And…

  • if Major Categories are implemented, only the categories that include at least one of the majors with one of the four award types* will be included in the Major Category drop down and will be listed alphabetically by Major Category <category>

 

IF the feature is not enabled, then…

  • No change to existing functionality; no change to the existing display of majors, categories or education goals.

 

Enable/Disable the Filter

The Education Goal/Majors Filter is disabled by default.

To enable the filter:

  1. On the Majors summary page, place a checkmark in the Enable Transfer Major filter toggle on the left side of the page.

  2. To disable the filter, uncheck the Enable Transfer Major Filter checkbox.

Configuring Majors for the Ed Goal/Majors Filter

  1. Navigate to your college’s instance of the Pilot CCCApply Administrator. Sign In and navigate to the Majors module summary page.

  2. Click the Export Majors button to export (download) your current list of majors to a location of your choice. The file will export as a .csv file.

  3. Open your exported Majors CSV file and edit your list following the specific guidelines presented in the Editing & Formatting the Majors CSV File section of this user guide, including, these notable mentions:

    1. Ensure every major has a major description that is clear and appropriate when filtered (optional).

    2. If the Major Category filter is implemented:

      1. Ensure each major is associated with one or more categories (if applicable). Unassociated majors will appear in the “All Majors” category.

    3. Ensure every Major has the appropriate award type value set.

      1. Ensure all Associate Degree- and Associate Degree for Transfer- majors have the correct award type value assigned.
        (Reminder: The Ed Goal/Majors Filter only displays majors that have any one of the following award types when the the filter is enabled: AA_degree, AA_T, AS_degree, AS_T)

    4. Consider adding Program Control Numbers for each Major in the Majors CSV file.

    5. Important: Ensure the <start> and <end> date columns are reformatted before importing your CSV file. Dates do not export in the correct format required by the import process.

    6. Important: Ensure the header row in the CSV file is NOT CHANGED and all column headings are formatted correctly (lower case, camel case).

    7. Save changes to your Majors CSV file.

  4. Import your edited Majors CSV file by clicking the Import Majors button. If formatted properly, the system will return a Success message.

  5. Enable the filter by placing a checkmark in the Enable Transfer Major Filter box on the Majors summary page (above the table on the left side).

  6. Sign out of the CCCApply Administrator and the CCC Administrator systems to activate the filter and prepare to test.

 

 

Test the filter functionality.

  1. Navigate to your college’s CCCApply application in the Pilot environment and sign in through OpenCCC.

  2. From the My Applications page, click Start a New Application.

  3. On the Enrollment page:

    1. Select a Term

    2. Select from the Education Goal drop down: “Obtain an Associate degree and transfer to a 4-year institution”. This is the option that will filter the Majors and major categories when the Ed Goal/Majors filter is enabled.

  4. If major categories are implemented:

    1. Confirm that your categories are in alphabetical order

    2. Test 1: Select a category other than the “All Majors” category then open the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down to confirm that only the majors that have one of the specified award types* are listed, alphabetically. Repeat with the next category, if needed.

    3. Test 2: Select the “All Majors” category then open the Intended Major or Program of Study drop down to confirm that only the majors that have one of the specified award types* are listed, alphabetically.

  5. If NO major categories are implemented:

    1. Click on the Intended Major or Program of Study menu and confirm that only the majors that have one of the specified award types* are listed, alphabetically.

  6. Open the file See the majors for transfer available in that category.

  7. Repeat steps 1-6 in the Production environment Administrator.

Configuring Major Categories

The optional Categories field in the CCCApply Administrator’s Majors module allows colleges to group majors and programs of study into custom categories, such as meta majors. When implemented, these categories display on the CCCApply and/or International applications’ Enrollment Information tab. Students will be required to select a Major Category when completing the application. There is no limit on Major Category options you can define.

In the CCCApply and International applications, the Major Category drop-down list provides a filtering mechanism to help students select a major that meets their education goals or career interests. When major categories are implemented correctly, students will first select a category from the Major Category drop-down list and then select one of the majors or programs of study that have been aligned/configured with that category in the Intended Major or Program of Study drop-down list.

 

If you have implemented categories in your majors list, each major that has been assigned a category will show a “+” icon in the Categories column of the Majors table. When you click the “+” icon, the associated category name(s) displays below the Major Description name in the order they were created. The “+” icon toggles to display category, while the “-” icon toggles to hide the category.

 

Implementing the Major Category Filter

You can implement the major categories manually or, more efficiently, by importing them. Colleges must define their list of major categories and then align those categories to each major or program of study for their college.

To get started see the The Major Category Implementation Worksheet for additional step-by-step instructions for setting up Categories for majors in CCCApply.

Disabling the Major Category Filter

The Major Category filter in CCCApply and/or International can be turned off by removing all custom categories created in the CCCApply Administrator’s Major module Categories field for every major. Once all Categories values for all majors are removed the Major Category drop-down list will not display in the CCCApply and/or International application. The Intended Major or Program of Study drop-down list will revert back to displaying the full list of majors and programs in alphabetical order (by Major Description).
