Data Governance Committee

The Data Governance Committee (DGC) — sponsored by the Research and Planning Commission (RPC) — develops and implements standardized coding schemas, data definitions, policies and quality control for statewide community and technical college data elements.

As a decision-making body, DGC monitors data systems and resolves data issues to create a culture of data quality. The DGC also works closely with the ctcLink project. As the DGC proposals move through the approval process, the status will be updated on the chart below.
