Framework for Sharing Dual Enrollment Data

As dual enrollment opportunities continue to expand, the need for stronger coordination across K–12 districts, colleges and universities, and community partners has become increasingly clear. Students move between these systems simultaneously, yet the data needed to understand their experiences, identify gaps, and track long-term outcomes often either is not collected or remains siloed within individual institutions.
This framework recognizes that partnerships begin data sharing work at different stages of readiness. Some may need to build technical infrastructure or secure leadership buy-in before formalizing agreements; others may be ready to pilot a specific data exchange focused on a single metric. The phased approach in this resource is designed to meet partnerships where they are while providing a clear path toward sustainable, comprehensive data sharing. This resource is one of three interconnected public goods created through an Accelerate ED Designathon, facilitated by Education Strategy Group between August 2025 and January 2026.
