2024 American Indian / Alaska Native (AIAN) Expansion
In collaboration with the CCC Chancellor’s Office AIAN Group, the CCCApply listing of American Indian/Alaska Natives (AIAN) tribal affiliations in the Race & Ethnicity section has been expanded to align with the complete Federal Register of Indian Entities Recognized - which contains approximately 585 California state and national tribes. The additional 465 tribes/ethnicities
To accommodate adding 465 new tribal names to our existing list of AIAN options, an enhancement was made to the AIAN group in the Race & Ethnicity section that will allow users to search and select one or more AIAN tribes/ethnicities and/or submit (write-in) a tribe name that does not appear in the expanded list.
For a detailed breakdown, including the complete list of new and existing AIAN race group/ethnicities and data fields, please see 2024 AIAN Expansion Enhancement in CCCApply.
New Number of Dependents Enhancement
New conditional data field question related to the Student Parent question added in 2023.
For the purpose of identifying the number of children or dependents receiving more than half their support from a self-identified student parent, a new conditional question will now display if the applicant answers Yes to the Student Parent question added in fall 2023. If displayed, the question asks the parent to identify their dependents in two age groups: 1) age 17 and younger, and 2) age 18 and older. These responses are collected in two new data fields with values that align closely to MIS data element SB39.
The language and format of the question (Number of Dependents) and data fields align with the changes implemented in the Dependency section of 2024-2025 CC Promise Grant Application and duplicated on the Demographic Information page in the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application. For data field information and screen shots, please see Number of Dependents of Student Parents: New Question & Data Fields.
The Number of Dependents question & data fields have been implemented in both applications: the California Colleges Promise Grant Application and the CCCApply Standard & Noncredit Application.
New Data Fields & Data Delivery
Three new data fields have been added to the Data Warehouse and submitted applications databases. These fields are also available in the CCCApply Report Center, Data Warehouse Report Server, and the CCCApply Administrator (Rules & Messages) for the California College Promise Grant and CCCApply applications.
Application / Database | Data Dictionary Name | Apply Data Field | Superglue Data Field |

California College Promise Grant Application | Number of Dependents 18 & Over | <student_deps_18over> | <studentDeps18Over> |
SuperGlue for Apply
As new features and functionality are developed for CCCApply and other systemwide technology applications, it is necessary for colleges to upgrade their existing Superglue College Adaptor schema to the version capable of delivering the new enhancements and data fields. This release includes new data fields that require such an update.
To get the latest College Adaptor schema version, please contact your College Experience Manager at Enabling Services for assistance.
Schema Update Required: This release requires a schema version update for the College Adaptor. Please contact your College Experience Manager through the CCCTC Enabling Services to expedite this process.
Data Warehouse Access
All new and existing data fields are ultimately stored in the CCC Data Warehouse which can be accessed directly through the Data Warehouse Direct Connection service, or for authorized staff through the Data Warehouse Report Server.
CCCApply Admin Tools
College staff can access all the new data fields in the CCCApply Report Center for ad hoc reporting. They also have the ability to create custom email rules and messages with the fields in the CCCApply Administrator.
Reminder: The CCCApply Download Client reached end-of-life on June 30, 2023. The service is no longer support and the Download server is scheduled to be taken offline on March 31, 2024.
