ULB: meeting the needs of a changing higher education landscape
TimeEdit becomes an MCDS Aligned Vendor Partner
At TimeEdit, we’ve always believed that academic operations work best when they’re connected. Curriculum, workload, scheduling, registration, evaluation, all drawing from the same data foundation. That’s why we’ve built our platform to unify these processes, so institutions don’t have to piece them together manually. Now, we’re taking that principle one step further.
The MortarCAPS Higher Learning Data Standard (MCDS) is the first Commonwealth-wide open standard for higher education data, developed by and for the sector. Its purpose is simple but powerful: to give institutions and vendors a common language for student and institutional data. With MCDS, universities can reduce duplication, simplify integrations, and gain a consistent foundation for everything from enrolment and funding models to student wellbeing and digital credentials.
By aligning our platform with MCDS, we’ll help institutions:
For us, this isn’t just about compliance, it’s about collaboration. MCDS represents the same values we care about: openness, transparency, and building with the sector, for the sector.
💚 To the MortarCAPS team and all the institutions shaping this standard: we’re excited to be working alongside you.
