Initiatives

Partners & Collaborators

Data Quality Campaign

We support the Data Quality Campaign (DQC) in its goal of improving the collection, availability, and use of high-quality education data, and implementing state longitudinal data systems to improve student achievement. We agreed to join this national forum for reducing duplication of effort and promoting greater coordination and consensus among the organizations focusing on improving data quality, access, and use. This commitment involves disseminating and highlighting the tools and resources developed, and the messages and lessons learned through the campaign.

We support and collaborate with the Electronic Standards Committee (ESC) of the National Council of Higher Education Loan Programs (NCHELP).

SPEEDE Committee

We support and collaborate with the Standardization of Postsecondary Education Electronic Data Exchange (SPEEDE) Committee of the American Association of Collegiate Registrars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO).
