Seat Count & Hybrid Courses: For the past 6 months, we’ve been experiencing issues with how the system is not working correctly when a section is no longer being offered online and how modality changes are not reflecting correctly in the UI.

Parchment has been working on these items along with the CVC’s input.

  • Current issue with financial aid integration workflow on the Parchment side.

  • Issue reported on Thursday, Oct 12. Meeting was scheduled for Monday 10/16 to meet with Mt. Sac to test Marker Course, but had to be cancelled due to this issue.

  • Parchment holiday in Argentina (where devs are) Friday 10/13 and 10/16 so not insight into issue or ETA at this time.

Parchment

  • Information from Parchment: “I was able to touch base with the team, and in checking the tests that Logan entered last week, we found that the workflow for the marker course did not trigger as we expected. We are anticipating a quick resolution, but with the holiday in Argentina today, it did not make sense to meet with the college.”

  • Parchment development will be focusing on this on Tuesday, Oct 17.

  • Parchment will report on what the issue and ETA.

  • Parchment to report to CVC on status ASAP. This is top priority for their development team.

AB540 Student Residency Mapping

AB540 continues to be an issue in the system.

Currently, we map AB540 students to a default residency status of “resident” at the Teaching College, rather than the terms under which the student qualifies for “Resident” status, e.g. AB540, Veteran, special exemption, etc.

This has been highlighted as a problem in the past primarily around student headcount since AB540 student population headcount at the Teaching College receives more funding allocation than traditional resident headcount. This can also lead to challenges around reporting discrepancies where the Teaching Colleges report these students as part of their in-state student population, but the Home College reports them as AB540 students.

However, the largest issue with not mapping the AB540 students to an AB540 residency status at the Teaching College is around the processing of the student’s CADDA request if they are an AB540 student. Cerritos college alerted CVC that if an AB540 student submits a CADDA request, they can only process the request if the student is classified as an AB540 student in their system.

The requirement then is to begin mapping AB540 students from their AB540 status at the Home College to a “CVC AB540” residency status at the Teaching College. This status may be treated as either a resident or nonresident status for tuition rates at the Teaching College, but if the student is in the AB540 status, their nonresident tuition rate is waived so they will only pay in-state enrollment fees.

At initial review, this will require a mapping change at the Home College contactinfo API to reveal AB540 student status, which leads to 3 residency statuses now. Resident, AB540 Resident, and Nonresident.

 

  • No new updates this week.

  • CVC team to flesh through options and come up with requirements.

Increase in 500 Errors in MIS Applications

Parchment brought to our attention that there is an uptick in 500 server errors when sending shared applications across multiple colleges beginning 10/04.

 

  • No new updates this week.

  • Update from the CCCTC: They have confirmed that condition, although it appears to be a false negative.

    They have suggested to Jason that this be escalated to Mark Cohen's team to investigate to see if any recent workflow changes affected the workflow from receiving a delivery status successfully from the Adaptor in order to report a status 200 instead.  If there is a block in the Adaptor's response back to the parent workflow, logic would have it report the 500 status even though the Adaptor itself was successful but its response was simply not received.
