CCC SSO Federation
The California Community Colleges Single Sign-on Federation (CCC SSO) is an initiative to provide secure, scalable, and integrated technology solutions for the CCC that take advantage of economies of scale and are facilitated by governance from the colleges, themselves. The CCC SSO Federation offers a common framework for shared management of access to CCC resources and secure web applications.
Implementing a single sign-on solution is a requirement of the CCC SSO Federation and allows participating California Community Colleges to take full advantage of the products and services offered by the CCC Technology Center. The Technology Center has partnered with the InCommon Federation to provide a single sign-on solution to the colleges. Through InCommon, college identity providers can give their users single sign-on convenience and privacy protection, while online service providers control access to their protected resources. Learn more about the partnership with InCommon.
Why SSO?
Single sign-on allows students, faculty and staff to access Technology Center services using the login credentials — or CCCID — they already use at the college or district. CCCID is a systemwide ID provided through the OpenCCC initiative. When a CCC student is configured for a CCCID, they can log in to one application, such as the CCC MyPath student services portal, then access multiple different web applications, such as Canvas and CCCApply, without having to log in to each application individually.

Data Governance
As data-driven decisions increasingly become the expectation, it is critical the right data is being captured and its use maximized. A systemwide data governance committee is being formed to address strategic master data management of the numerous, substantial data projects within the California Community Colleges.
The goals and objectives are as follows:
- Establish a systemwide Data Governance Advisory Committee (DGAC) to recommend policy and oversee execution through a Data Governance Office (DGO)
- Establish and operate a Data Governance Office (DGO) to operationalize policy across systemwide data sources
- Fund and track implementation projects to align current and future data initiatives with data governance policies and procedures.
Under direction of the Chancellor’s Office the California Community Colleges Technology Center will work cooperatively with the advisory committee to operate a data governance office to achieve the goals of the initiatives. The CCC Technology Center will coordinate efforts to plan and execute the projects.
- Engage and promote inner-office and inter-office cooperation
- Provide financial support for the initiative and projects
- Provide final authority and approval of policies and procedures
Data Governance Advisory Committee
The DGAC, composed of appropriate stakeholders from appropriate systemwide constituencies, will review and provide guidance and recommendations to the Chancellor’s Office for directing the initiative and decision-making specifically by:
- Review and recommend a strategy for data governance
- Provide sponsorship for the community and data governance adoption
- Review and recommend a process for decision-making over data governance policies and procedures
- Review and recommend a set of approved policies, standards, requirements and definitions
- Review and recommend a Governance Management Plan for the Data Governance Office
Data Governance Office
The DGO will have responsibility to coordinate and facilitate data governance for individual projects specifically by:
- Draft proposals for data governance efforts
- Follow recommendations of the Advisory Committee to coordinate and execute proposals
- Drive the documentation, approval and operationalization of policies, standards and processes
- Facilitate ongoing communication to stakeholders across the CCC system
- Manage alignment with data owners, e.g. MIS, college CTOs, EdResults, etc.
- Oversee the activities of the data stewards
- Support data quality efforts including the definition of business rules
- Work with the Master Data Management project to implement the Data Governance rules and standards in code.
- Work with internal auditors to enforce compliance with policies, standards and regulations
The value of the Data Governance Initiative will be realized through the participation in developing and adoption of policies and procedures by stakeholders in existing and new data projects specifically by:
- Participate in committees and sub-committees when invited
- Share and consult with the DGAC and DGO
- Adopt policies and procedures through implementation projects
