Release Summary

This release features a multi account creation enhancement to the existing OpenCCC Administrator tool which will enable colleges to create multiple accounts using a simple upload process without the risk of adding duplicate account (CCCIDs) to the system.

 

Development Background

In early 2023 the CCC Technology Center deployed an enhancement to the CCCApply Administrator that allows authorized staff to create an OpenCCC student account and submit a CCCApply application on behalf of an incarcerated student who is unable to do so themselves. Initially the tool was intended for single account creation use (one account at a time); however due to growing systemwide need to ensure every student has a lifelong CCC student identifier (CCCID), the account creation admin tool has been enhanced to support multi account creation.

 

The OpenCCC Administrator Tool

To support the recent systemwide mandate requiring every student currently enrolled in a California Community College have a California Community Colleges ID (CCCID) for tracking and reporting purposes, a new OpenCCC Administrator system is developed that will allow authorized college staff to create one or more OpenCCC accounts (CCCID) on behalf of students that are unable to create one themselves.
