CCC Data & Data Warehouse
Systemwide 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:
-
CCC 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.
-
CCC 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.
-
CCC 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.

SuperGlue
SuperGlue is an integration architecture developed by the California Community Colleges Technology Center to allow disparate Student Information Systems (SIS) to connect in a standardized way to systemwide technologies developed by the Technology Center, such as CCCApply, Multiple Measures Placement Service (MMPS), Canvas data, as well as fraud reporting.
SuperGlue provides a secure, robust framework for data exchange between these systemwide products and the colleges who use them. A key objective is to integrate all Chancellor’s Office-sponsored technology initiatives without putting additional burden on local college IT departments. The architecture has the following parts:
College Adaptor
The college adaptor is a software component that is installed locally behind a college’s firewall to facilitate data running in and out of the college’s Student Information System (SIS). It enables disparate systems to communicate in a standardized way with other services, such as the Canvas course management system.
Staging Table
Securely delivers CCCApply records - in near real-time - to a staging table in your college IT environment via the College Adaptor.
Multiple Measures Placement Service
Delivers placement recommendations based on high school student transcript information and/or self-reported transcript information directly to the college’s SIS-specific staging tables.
Orchestration Layer
Conductor workflows that deliver data.
