Problems / Issues
July 1, 2022: Olivia Alvarado: “I took a look at this again and revised the enhancement request. I hope it is clearer. Let me know if you have any questions.”
Problem / Issue
The CCCApply residency algorithm uses the responses from data elements cahs_graduated and cahs_3year to determine stay and intent.
Education | Question | Data Element |
Graduated From CA High School | Did you receive your diploma, GED, or certificate in California? | cahs_graduated |
Attended CA High School For 3 Years | Have you attended high school in California for three or more years? | cahs_3year |
K-8 and 9-12 students are not asked the two questions above therefore, are inaccurately classified as residency B2 (requirements possibly met) and assigned flag 03 by the residency algorithm.
Residency Area | B (Stay and Intent) |
Evaluation Statement | Is the applicant under 19 as of RDD with last high school out-of-state? |
Data Elements Logic | RDD minus19 years > personal_info: birthdate AND education: hs_state != CA |
2. Minors are not eligible for Adult School based on their age. Status value Z = Adult school student in high school diploma or equivalency should not display as an enrollment status option.
Proposed Solution
Use RDD minus 19 years logic to determine if the applicant is a minor then default the enroll_status value to “Y = Enrolling in high school (or lower grade) and college at the same time”.
The residency calculation needs to be enhanced to use the parent/guardian residency-related responses when an applicant is a under age 19 and dependent on a parent/guardian”.
Change the wording of the hs_edu_level question:
From
Title | High School Education |
Question | High school education level as of RDD |
Help | Select the High School Education Level you will have attained when you enroll. |
To
Title | High School Education (or lower grade) |
Question | High school education level (or lower grade) as of RDD |
Help | Select the High School Education Level (or lower grade) you will have attained when you enroll. |
4. Change the wording of value 1 from the hs_attendance question:
From
Question | Current or Most Recent High School Attended |
Values | 1 = I attended high school. |
To
Question | Current or Most Recent High School Attended |
Value | 1 = I am attending / attended high school. |
Thank you,
Olivia Alvarado
Issue: Residency Area D Question
I added the Residency Class D attachment with screenshots from the CCCApply Standard Application and the Data Dictionary where it says applicants under 19 years of age are asked questions about their parent(s) or guardian(s) to determine CA residency for tuition purposes. However the Area D Flowchart and the Outline of Area D do not reflect this statement. This is why LACCD is requesting the residency algorithm be modified. Thank you in advance.
Thank you,
Olivia Alvarado
Additional Questions:
Q: If a K-8th student is a US citizen and has lived in CA for more than 2 years thus a CA resident and the parents are undocumented thus foreign residents would the student still be flagged as non-resident?
A: Yes. The residency classification of the parent or guardian is used when determining the status of a minor.
Q: AB 1096 was enacted into law in September 2021. Should the Citizenship section be revised to update instances of the term “alien” (i.e., alien registration number, alien registration number issue date/expiration date, etc.)
