Release Summary
CCCApply Enhancements
New Auto-Release Suspended Applications
Colleges now have more control over how they manage suspected fraud applications using a new "Application Release Override" feature implemented in the legacy spam filter. Designed to be an optional feature, colleges can now set a custom fraud score ceiling on applications flagged as suspected fraud (but below the threshold) and have them immediately delivered to your college for investigation instead of automatically being suspended in the spam filter. Colleges control if and when the score ceiling is changed and enabled.
Read more about it in the Using the Application Utilities section of the CCCApply Administrator User Guide.
Reminder: Only Authorized College Administrators and Staff are permitted to access the CCCApply Administrator.
New Do Not Display Delivered Applications Toggle
Another new optional feature has been implemented in the legacy spam filter tool that - if enabled - will only suspend and display the spam applications that have not been delivered to the college. This feature works with the Application Release Override to help expedite your processing of fraudulent applications.
Note: Both features are currently only available in the legacy spam filter. Look for these enhancements in the updated spam filter tool in a later release.
OpenCCC Enhancements
New Manual ID Verification Tool
The ability to manually verify a student’s identity has been implemented in the OpenCCC Administrator (also known as the OpenCCC “account creation” tool). Now in addition to creating CCCID accounts on behalf of a student, authorized staff can now manually set or update one or more students' ID verification status to “Staff Verified”, thus giving colleges another tool for ensuring identity verification. Manual staff verification can be done for a single student or multiple students simultaneously via bulk upload process. Staff updates are now also tracked and timestamped for better user auditing.
New features include:
Search for a student account by CCCID, Email, or Social Security number
Verify a single student account or bulk verify multiple students at once
Track changes by staff name and timestamp for easy auditing.
Read more about this new feature in the OpenCCC Administrator User Guide.
Reminder: Only Authorized College Administrators and Staff are permitted to access the OpenCCC Administrator.
Our Commitment to Prioritizing Fraud Prevention Efforts
The CCCTC is committed to identifying and mitigating application and financial aid fraud across all Student Success Suite systemwide technology applications, including OpenCCC, MyPath, and CCCApply. For security reasons, all fraud prevention activities and development are never shared publicly outside of the CCCTC Private Fraud/Spam Support Group.
Authorized CCC staff may request access to the private fraud/spam support group by sending an email request to CCCTC Staff Support at staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com.
