Grant Administration and Operations

The Grant Administration and Operations department is an expert team trained in Grant Administration, Compliance, Procurement, Contract Administration, and Financial Management.

Our goal is to make the best use of resources in order to aid and supplement the educational mission of the California Community Colleges, and to ensure the proper disbursement of grant funds and management of activities with full transparency for all stakeholders.

The operations team is responsible for non-programmatic support of the CCC Technology Center’s programs and products, grant procurement and management, and the enabling of Technology Center team projects. We operate using updated, cloud-based software in a distributed, remote environment.

Library Services: The Technology Center manages the vendor contracting process to provide library database services to all 116 colleges. The current contract is with EBSCO, selected after an open RFP process in 2022.

CCC Data & Data Warehouse

Students walk toward the entrance to City College of San FranciscoSystemwide applications generate actionable data that can improve student outcomes and facilitate institutional improvement. CCC Data allows information from these applications to be aggregated to provide college researchers with the data that may help to inform personalized experiences for students, and to support research opportunities and decision-making driven by legislation and the greater strategic vision of the California Community Colleges.

CCC Data, supported by the Data Services Program (DSP) initiative, is part of the CCC Systemwide Technology Platform developed to provide shareable services to the colleges. CCC Data consists of:

  • Data Lake, used to collect data from a variety of sources, storing these data as changed over time. The Data Lake is used to populate the Data Warehouse and enable data mining and auditing.

  • Data Warehouse, which acts as a structured source of master data, segmented by MIS code, for use by college researchers. The Data Warehouse currently includes data from CCCApply, CCC MyPath, the Multiple Measures Placement Service, COCI and C-ID.

  • Data Warehouse Report Server, which provides a means for researchers to access their college’s data. Direct connections to data in the Data Warehouse are also supported.

Multiple Measures Placement Service

Multiple Measures Placement ServiceThe Multiple Measures Placement Service (MMPS) is designed to help California’s community colleges maximize the probability a student will complete transfer-level English and math courses within one year, as required by Assembly Bill 705.

MMPS consolidates student transcript data from multiple sources and runs it through rules engines to provide colleges with relevant data for English and math placement. Colleges determine final recommendation policies and processes for their students.

MMPS is the result of a statewide collaboration between the California Community Colleges Board of Governors, the Chancellor’s Office, colleges across the system, and partners including California College Guidance Initiative and Educational Results Partnership.

Benefits of MMPS

  • Provides near-real-time recommended support for AB 705-compliant math and English placements.
  • Accesses multiple sources of verified high school transcript information, as well as self-reported data from CCCApply.
  • Furnishes higher level math placements into Trigonometry, Pre-Calculus, and Calculus, when applicable.
  • Integrates with other CCC Technology Center applications, including CCCApply and Data Lake/Warehouse. Future integration with CCC MyPath will give colleges the ability to recommend courses to students.
  • Ease of implementation and maintenance minimizes total cost of ownership for colleges (No licensing fees).

CCC MyPath

CCC MyPath is a guided pathway onboarding platform that provides information and resources to incoming students, and bridges the gap between the online application and a college’s local systems. It is uniquely positioned to provide critical, dynamic guidance to the student by virtue of its integrated relationship with CCCApply.

By utilizing the four pillars of Guided Pathways, MyPath aims to address the falloff between applications received and student enrollment numbers by keeping students engaged with the college and with the system.

 

4 pillars of Guided Pathways: clarify the path, enter the path, stay on the path, ensure learning
