The SBCTC Data Warehouse is derived primarily from the data collected by the 2-year Public Community and Technical College Management Information System. The Data Warehouse includes student, course, personnel, facilities and equipment, financial aid, transcript and completion data collected since 1986. Related data is also collected from GED testing centers, universities, community based organizations and other state agencies. The SBCTC Data Warehouse is a SQL Server production database that is used for executive policymaking and decision support in the areas of funding and enrollment allocation, enrollment forecasting, research, performance and outcomes and mandated studies by statute. The Data Warehouse supports external agency requests for data and information. Some external agencies include the Office of Financial Management, the Higher Education Personnel Board, the Higher Education Coordinating Board, the Workforce Training and Education Coordinating Board, the Washington State Legislature, the National Center for Education Statistics and the Department of Education. The SBCTC Data Warehouse is a primary source for college and local research efforts.
