Overarching Objectives
The following project objectives are in response to Assembly Bill 3101. In addition, all efforts are being made to address AB705 (multiple measures) across the Core Applications.
# | Objective | Requirements Info |
---|---|---|
1 | Streamline and simplify the CCCApply experience with a student-centered approach in mind that complies with the requirements of AB3101 | The Redesign Workgroup is exploring ways to redesign CCCApply to be student-friendly, simple and straightforward, and to collect enough data to initiate the onboarding of students.
|
| OUT-OF-SCOPE for CCCApply FY18-19 Work plan Major overhaul to the user interface and enhancements to implement modern micro-services architecture (APIs, backend, data integrations, web services, etc.)
| |
| OUT-OF-SCOPE for CCCApply FY18-19 Work plan - See Grant: Shared Infrastructure - OpenCCC
| |
2 | Support Non-Credit Students with Residency-Free Workflow Collaborate with the CCC non-credit community and Ideas42 to design and implement a modern, user-friendly, electronic application that supports the needs of our diverse non-credit student populations - allowing colleges to collect only what's necessary at the time of application to comply with AB3101. |
|
Blockers & Issues to Proposed Changes
These are issues that will be raised to the CCCApply Steering Committee and the Chancellor's Office for legal opinion and approval. They need to be addressed before we can confirm the requirements.
# | Issue Description | Change Proposal |
---|---|---|
Approval to change Social Security Number legal disclaimer and revise layout of question | See proposed language & layout changes below | |
2 | Review and seek approval on Non-Credit to Credit Transition Legislation | Discuss the fact that AB3101 does not address or provide guidance on how colleges are supposed to track and manage residency for a "non-credit" student who decides to cross over and take "credit" courses.
Does CCCApply need to incorporate a disclaimer that non-credit students are completing the non-credit application? Non-CreditIn order to comply with the new AB3101 - we’d need the legislation to address the following questions: IF non-credit students are not subject to residency classification requirements:
|
Remove the need for the RDD in all NC questions | Out-of-Scope for March Release If the NC population does not need to be classified for residency, we can then remove all the RDD-logic questions from that special application. | |
Non-Credit Application Flags in CCCApply | In-Scope for March Release <non_credit> <int_fg_81> Discuss the need for Adding a new "flag" or field such as: <non-credit status = Yes{term_id} that would be included in the Noncredit application downloads to indicate the student applied using the Non-Credit Application during a specific term. | |
1 | Discuss seeking approval and support for a system-wide Standard Residency Determination Date (RDD) to better serve all students and colleges in student experience | Discuss that the language in AB3101 specifies that the Chancellor of the CCC has greater authority to determine how residency is determined for Non-Credit students, etc. Would this authority also allow the CCCCO to implement an "annual RDD date" or two "standard term start dates"? Proposal: Petition the legislature to support a standard annual RDD (July 1). The benefits of this change |
