2020-07: Overhaul Enrollment Section Ed Goal & Major Selections

Problem / Issue

Summarize the proposed three tier selection window in broader Guided Pathways language, for example:

Level 1 – Meta-Major Selection

Level 2 – Specific Subject Area within Meta-Major

Level 3 – Specific Award Pathway within Subject Area

Each level would have a meaningful/default “Unsure/Undeclared” option. E.g., a student could be completely undeclared by a selection at the Meta-Major, or might know they are interested in the STEM meta-major, but unsure which STEM subject, or they might know they want to study Chemistry but not sure if they want the AS-T in Chemistry or the AS in BioChemistry. Each Undeclared major option could still be translated into a specific/default award pathway at the college, and counselors could intervene to help them narrow down their choices.

Proposed Solution

This would be a fairly major change to the way majors are selected and reported on. Will need to review with the Chancellor's office, MIS team and SMEs on the CCCApply user group. On a March 2021 survey of the user group this change request was voted #2 priority of 7 proposed enhancements.

Dependencies, Risks and/or Reporting Requirements?
