All currently available data extracted from the ASSIST system is in a .txt format to be uploaded and interpreted by another computer system, such as a campus degree audit or transfer planning application. We look forward to future releases as we expand our data sharing options, including articulation data and other data in JSON format via API.

Data Sharing Operations Expansion Overview
The self-service data portal launched December 2024, providing approved data subscribers with secure access to the standard data file inventory.
Work continues to strengthen, secure, and ready the system for wide scale data sharing via API. System offices (CSUCO, UCOP, CCCCO) and participating AICCU institutions will be provided priority access (estimated Fall 2025).
Additional system security and license agreement formalization are necessary to begin sharing data with the general public or for personal use. At this time, we anticipate API data sharing access will release to non-institution-sponsored requestors during the 2026-2027 Academic Year.
The request process above is not expected to change.
