Meta Majors, Guided Pathways & The New CCCApply Administrator 2.0
By Patty Donohue

Open

Session Description

Join members of the CCCApply Steering Committee for an exploration of the new CCCApply Administrator tool with an emphasis on the new feature enhancements built into the Majors module for the Standard and International applications.

Beginning with a presentation on Meta Majors, Guided Pathways, and CCCApply, by Craig Hayward and Michelle Pena of Bakersfield College, see how the new majors category filter and the education goal alignment feature will be used to customize the display of your college Majors in the CCCApply and International applications. 

We'll also explore the new user-interface, system administration, and the new architectural framework of the new CCC Administrator system - leveraging single sign-on authentication from a single point-of-entry (one URL address) for all systemwide Admin tools and vendor applications.  

• Take a sneak peek at the new CCC Administrator system: A centralized, admin configuration tool with SSO-based authentication for CCC Tech Center web applications and other CCCCO vendor applications - that is being developed and rolled out in multiple releases over the next 18 months;

• Authorized college admin users need only one user account for all integrated admin tools - only one set of login credentials across all admin applications for the pIlot and production environments;

• All integrated admin tools are accessed from one single point-of-entry, meaning no more long, complicated SAML-based address URLs to access the Administrator & Report Center!

• Sneak peek at the new CCCApply Spam Filter system and interface, designed to identify fraudulent applications based on machine learning algorithm, suspend and flag fraudulent application, and train (teach) the algorithm in a continuous learning model;

Audience: Geared towards all users of the CCCApply Administrator, but appropriate for all audiences.
