This document contains technical education and continuing education data reporting requirements for colleges operating under the South Carolina Technical College System (SCTCS) and The Commission on Higher Education (CHE). The SCTCS requires colleges to submit technical education data records according to specific deadlines throughout the academic year: October 15 for ending summer/opening fall terms, March 15 for ending fall/opening spring terms, July 31 for ending spring/opening summer terms, September 15 for completions or graduates, and December 1 for faculty information. Colleges must also submit continuing education data by April 15 for fall, August 15 for spring, and November 15 for summer sessions. All colleges are responsible for ensuring their submitted data are free of EDSS errors and verified for accuracy by college staff prior to submission by the established deadlines.

Following each submission deadline, SCTCS and CHE maintain a two-week validation window to conduct state-level data reviews. Should CHE identify errors in a college's submitted data, the affected college will receive notification and must correct and resubmit the erroneous information. The state provides advance reminder notifications to Chief Business Officers' peer groups and other key personnel prior to each reporting deadline to facilitate timely compliance. These reporting requirements apply uniformly across all South Carolina technical colleges and are essential for maintaining accurate statewide higher education records and accountability measures.
