Proposed Solution
Proposed Timeline
Phase 1 Application web service/listener
Development begins November 2016, completed by April 2017, ready for Fall 2017 application season
Description:
A student (or HS educator) using a CaliforniaColleges account will be able to track and display the status of all CCC applications for that student.
High Level Process Flow:
- Student clicks Community College Application link in CaliforniaColleges.edu account ->
- Student checks off consent agreement ->
- Student redirected to that college’s OpenCCCApply application (along with uniquely generated non-personally identifiable encrypted key) ->
- Student fills out application ->
- Student submits application to college ->
- Web service at OpenCCCApply securely notifies CaliforniaColleges.edu that the student has completed application to a certain MIS code
Phase 2: Multiple Measures Transcript Data
Development begins 2016, completed by Summer 2017, ready for Summer/Fall 2o18 application season
Description:
Using the credentials generated in Phase 1, transcript data from the student’s CaliforniaColleges.edu account could populate a data repository within OpenCCCApply. Such transcript data could be used to inform placement and multiple measures, satisfy college pre-requisites (especially useful for dual enrollment), satisfy AB540 High School requirements, and mark Foster Youth flags.
Phase 3: Autopopulate Application Fields
Development begins TBA, completed by TBA, ready for TBA application season
Description:
Data from Phase 2 could be used to autopulate fields as the student completes application, creating a more accurate (and quicker) application process.

Notes
Key Questions?
- Are there FERPA or other privacy concerns about notifying the High School that the student has completed a CCC application?
- Does the phased plan and timeline meet the needs of K-12 and CCC stakeholders?
Next Steps:
- CCGI to explore FERPA question about application notification
- Butte Technology Center to discuss design of webservice/listener
