Common Data Set
The Common Data Set (CDS) initiative is a collaborative effort among data providers in the higher education community and publishers as represented by the College Board, Peterson's, and U.S News & World Report. The combined goal of this collaboration is to improve the quality and accuracy of information provided to all involved in a student's transition into higher education, as well as to reduce the reporting burden on data providers. For more information about CDS, see https://www.commondataset.org/
Simon Fraser University is a participant in this collaboration and the data items on this page (see links by year) follow the CDS definitions.
