CCC SSO Federation
The California Community Colleges Single Sign-on Federation (CCC SSO) is an initiative to provide secure, scalable, and integrated technology solutions for the CCC that take advantage of economies of scale and are facilitated by governance from the colleges, themselves. The CCC SSO Federation offers a common framework for shared management of access to CCC resources and secure web applications.
Implementing a single sign-on solution is a requirement of the CCC SSO Federation and allows participating California Community Colleges to take full advantage of the products and services offered by the CCC Technology Center. The Technology Center has partnered with the InCommon Federation to provide a single sign-on solution to the colleges. Through InCommon, college identity providers can give their users single sign-on convenience and privacy protection, while online service providers control access to their protected resources. Learn more about the partnership with InCommon.
Why SSO?
Single sign-on allows students, faculty and staff to access Technology Center services using the login credentials — or CCCID — they already use at the college or district. CCCID is a systemwide ID provided through the OpenCCC initiative. When a CCC student is configured for a CCCID, they can log in to one application, such as the CCC MyPath student services portal, then access multiple different web applications, such as Canvas and CCCApply, without having to log in to each application individually.

Multiple Measures Placement Service
The 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).
