Release Overview
As part of the systemwide Student Success Initiative, this release is intended to provide continuity and cohesion to the student onboarding experience overall.
The CCCApply v.6.11.0 release focused on updates to improve student navigation of the CCCApply standard, noncredit, international, and California College Promise Grant (CCPG) applications. These changes were guided by a review of the CCCApply interface that was conducted by the Foundation for Community Colleges (FCC) at the request of the California Community Colleges Chancellor’s Office (CCCCO).

Changes to CCCApply Applications
Below is a list of changes that were implemented to the CCCApply applications.
Text Updates to the Standard & Noncredit Application
Text changes were made to the top of specific pages in the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit applications:
Text was added or moved to the top of the… |
|
|---|---|
Education page | “Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”. |
Citizenship/Military page | “Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”. |
Citizenship Status question | “This information will be used for admissions and state reporting purposes. Your responses will be kept private and secure, and will not be used for discriminatory purposes.” |
Residency page | “Your responses will be kept private and secure and will not be used for discriminatory purposes”. |
Needs & Interests page | “This information you provide on this page will not be used in making admission decisions and will not be used for discriminatory purposes.” |
Demographic page | “By California law, the California Community Colleges collect voluntary demographic information regarding the sexual orientation, gender identity, and gender expression of students.”
|
Gender/Transgender question | The following statement: “Gender in this context, means a person's sex, or a person's gender identity and gender expression.” was moved immediately below the Gender/Transgender header. The “This information will be used for federal and state reporting” statement was removed because it has been added in a bullet to the top of the Demographic page under the page header. |
Standardization of Help Information Text Using Tool-Tip Icons
Instances of Help information implemented with hyperlinks (formerly called “pop-up” Help in the data dictionary) have been replaced with the more accessible Help icons to display when the icon is clicked. The original onscreen text and help information has not changed. This change ensures that all help text and additional onscreen information now behaves in a standardized way.
Note: In cases where multiple instances of help icons and pop-up hyperlinks existed, the text has been combined in to a single custom Help modal.
To see the individual changes made by page/section and question, expand the section below.
New Format for the Clear Selection Action
Instances of the Clear Selection function on several Yes/No questions has been changed from a hyperlink to a button following the CCCCO style guide requirements. No change was made to the Clear Selection functionality. When the Clear Selection button is clicked, the user’s previous response will be cleared.
New Sub-Section Navigation Feature Added to the Review Application Page
A new sub-section navigation feature was added to the Review Application page allowing the user to easily jump back and edit a specific page or section in the application. If changes or corrections are made to a previously completed page or section the user must click the Save or Continue button to confirm the change and continue on to the Submission page.
