Release Summary

  • Student Name Logic Enhancement

  • Technical Updates

Student Name Logic Enhancement to OpenCCC

An enhancement was made to the OpenCCC system to support colleges using Ellucian SAAS Banner or Colleague who are reporting some student First and Last Names are being delivered in all capitalized letters in their application data.

The enhancement implements string-comparison logic that compares the names originally entered by the student with the names returned by ID.me.  If the strings match, the names entered by the student are retained and stored in their original format (which includes all caps if that’s the way the student entered their name).

If there is a mismatch between the student-provided name and what’s delivered back from ID.me, the student’s ID.me status remains Verified but the name entered by the student will be overwritten with the ID.me provided values.

This change will not solve all instances of capitalized lettering, but it should represent a meaningful improvement for Ellucian SAAS Banner and Colleague colleges.
