User Story
As a dual enrolled / concurrent enrolled student applying to a California Community College, I should only have to see and answer the College Education Level and Colleges Attended questions if I have previously attended one or more colleges prior to the current application I am submitting because the questions are not pertinent to me.
Problem / Issue
Currently, if an applicant is a dual enroll/concurrent enroll student - meaning their College Enrollment status = <Y = enrolling in high school or lower grade and college at the same time> - they are required to view and answer the College Education Level and Colleges Attended questions even if they have never attended college prior to the current application.
If the Special Admit student is applying to college for the first time, while attending high school or lower grade, they should be asked if they have attended one or more colleges previously or not. If yes, then display the College questions, and if No, hide the college questions and populate the fields with Null values.
Additional Info
The pop-up validation language and radio buttons are already implemented but they do not display at the appropriate time to implement skip logic to streamline the application process for dual enroll students. See below for more details.
Definition
Dual enrollment student = A dual enrolled student is one that is concurrently enrolled in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time.
Proposed Solution
Using the existing validation language and code for dual enroll students, display the conditional question if the student's College Enrollment status = "Y = enrolling in high school or lower grade and college at the same time" Then display the conditional pop-up modal and require a response. If the student responds "Yes - I have attended one or more colleges in the past" THEN show the College Education Level and Colleges/Universities Attended sections, with all existing validation. If the student responds "No - I have not attended college prior to this application", THEN hide the College Education Level and Colleges/Universities Attended section and populate fields with Null values.
Requirements Summary
- IF College Enrollment Status is “Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grades) and college at the same time” THEN display the Dual Enrollment Confirmation modal question and require a response to determine if the student has previously attended college in the past.
- Text in confirmation pop-up box should display as follows:
“Have you ever attended college while also attending high school (or lower grade) at the same time, prior to the Term you are applying to in this application?If yes, check the box, otherwise click Continue."
(checkbox) "Yes, I have attended one or more colleges prior to this Term I am applying to."
(checkbox) "No, I have never attended college in the past"
- Text in confirmation pop-up box should display as follows:
3. A "Continue" button should be displayed in the confirmation pop-up box.
4. If user selects the checkbox, then DISPLAY/SHOW the college questions/sections to the student and hide the modal.
- Display College Education Level and required a response
- Display College Attended and use must NOT select zero
- Display College count sets of questions and ensure validation is correct
5. If user DOES NOT check the box, then DO NOT DISPLAY/HIDE the College Education Level question and default response to “No degree”
HIDE the Colleges Attended section - and default the <college_count> to ZERO
6. No validation should block the dual enroll student
User Personas & Use Cases
Personas
A dual enrolled student applying to CCC could have any of the following personas:
Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time for the first time in the Term I’m applying to in the current application; OR
Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time as a returning student who attended this college in a previous Term than the one I’m applying to in the current application
Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time as a returning student who attended a different college in a previous Term than the one I’m applying to in the current application
At the point we have confirmed their Enrollment Status and HS Edu Level - we still don’t know if they had
We don’t know if the student has attended a college previously or not, or obtained a degree
We do know that the student has attended high school or lower grade previously, and we do know he/she will answer the HS Transcript question.
USE CASES
A dual enroll student that answered “Yes” to the Confirmation question - that he/she has attended one or more colleges in a prior term to the one she is applying to in this application (regardless of whether they are returning to this college or not) must complete all the HS questions, including the HS transcript questions, and all the college (higher ed questions) and should NOT enter zero to the “Colleges Attended” questions <college_count> and should respond to at least one set of College_Attended questions.
A dual enroll student that answered “No” to the Confirmation question, and is enrolling in college for the first time -in the term they are applying to in this application - should NOT see any college questions. The College Education Level question should default to the value of “No degree” AND “Colleges Attended” should equal zero (0). All other college question will not display and will default to the must respond with Zero to the Colleges Attended questions and should not see

Notes: | This question replaces the “more than 4 colleges” checkbox in Xap CCCApply. It allows CCCApply to display the exact number of Colleges Attended question blocks needed and to require that all are filled in. Information about colleges attended is sorted as follows: The number of College/University question sets that will appear depends on the response to Number of Colleges Attended. If the Number of Colleges Attended is ‘5ormore’, we probably want to insert instructional text after the Number of Colleges Attended question. This text would tell the user which colleges to list: most recent; most significant; anything as long as the highest degree is included. To minimize redundancy, this document provides tables for the College/University 1 question set only. For College/University 2, College/University 3, and College/University 4,everything is the same as for College/University1 except: • Wherever it occurs in the tables, “College/University 1” will be replaced by “College/ University 2”, “College/University 3”, or “College/University 4” as appropriate. | This question replaces the “more than 4 colleges” checkbox in Xap CCCApply.

Sorting Colleges Attended: When there are two or more colleges, they can be listed in any order by the applicant. However, in the database they will be sorted and saved in order of attendance, with College/University 1 the most recently attended. The primary sorting date will be Attendance Ended; the secondary sorting date will be Attendance Began. If two or more colleges have the same Attendance Ended date and the same Attendance Began date, it doesn’t matter which comes before the other in the sorting. Note: In the Xap system, once the Education page has been completed, the schools are resorted on the Education page to match the database sorting. It does not matter whether CCCApply does this. However, if CCCApply does resort the Colleges Attended list, to prevent confusing situations for the user, the sorting should not occur until the page is completed (i.e., sorting should not occur when the page is saved but not completed). |
