Educational data comes from multiple institutional systems. Student information systems contain the details of profile information, course registrations, fee payments, attendance records, and grades. Learning management systems contain the details of profile information, login credentials, usage patterns, interactions, and assessments. Enterprise resource planning systems contain financial records and the details of tuition and fees, financial aid, billing, and financial holds. Institutions also use data from internal systems that include data on housing, dining, event registration, and many other campus services.

There are various prebuilt connectors to bring external data into Data Cloud. Review Data 360 documentation and complete the steps to set up and ingest your education data.
