Need access to College data to build an app?

If you are interested in getting access to some of the data in our student information system, such as course scheduling data or catalog data, then we are interested in hearing from you.  We’re running a beta program that allows for access to some of the data via a standardized and (near) real time REST API.   If that seems interesting then read on…

For this beta program we are making Harvey Mudd course catalog data available via REST APIs.  Using the HMC course roster APIs (which we have built using a product from Lingk.io), you can build web and mobile applications that could help your fellow students.   With HMC course roster data, you could build course planning tools, course alerting, mobile scheduling and more.

This is a beta program.  The Registrar’s Office and CIS are interested in exploring how best to make data securely and appropriately available outside of the HMC Portal.  We are also interested in hearing from you about other data to which you might like secure and authorized access in order to develop apps.

Want to take your project beyond HMC? The REST APIs that we can build using Lingk.io are standardized using the Common Education Data Standards (CEDS), enabling your project to easily consume data from other higher education institutions.

Have some ideas and want to get started?  Just contact the Help Desk (helpdesk@hmc.edu) and reference this article.
