CCCApply Redesign Project: Progress So Far


Project Goals & Objectives

The goals that were identified by the CCCApply Redesign Workgroup at the onset of the project back in July 2018 are geared towards responding to Assembly Bill 3101.

  • Streamline and simplify the CCCApply application by

  • Design and implement a user-friendly online application that supports the needs of our diverse noncredit student populations that
    • collects only what's necessary to admit the student at the time of application 
    • Omits residency questions and residency status calculation
