Data Collection Calendar

The Maryland Longitudinal Data System (MLDS) Center collects submissions from each of its partner agencies throughout the academic year. The current Data Collection Calendar provides a comprehensive timeline of the files submitted to the MLDS Center by partner agencies. Those agencies include:

  • Maryland State Department of Education;
  • Maryland Higher Education Commission;
  • Maryland Department of Labor;
  • Maryland Department of Juvenile Services; and
  • Maryland Department of Human Services.

The Data Collection Calendar is revised through the Data Governance Advisory Board (Data GAB), to allow partner agencies to align the Calendar to their unique needs. The Calendar is approved by the MLDS Governing Board annually in December.

As a result of the extraordinary circumstances from the COVID-19 pandemic, the MLDS Center recognizes that partner agency data collections may be delayed, altered, partially collected, or not collected at all during the 2019-2020 and 2020-2021 academic years.
