Catamount Data Glossary

The Catamount Data Glossary provides UVM community members with quick, easy-to-understand descriptions of important terms and processes used throughout the institution’s data systems.

While policies, collective bargaining agreements, and other guiding documents provide full, legal definitions of many of the terms described within, the Catamount Data Glossary is a resource designed to support a common language across the institution’s data systems and by data users and analysts.

The Catamount Data Glossary is a living resource that will continue to grow as terms are added and updated. If you believe any terms are incomplete or incorrect, or if there are any other terms you would like to see in the glossary, please contact the Office of Institutional Research & Assessment.

Note: The descriptions provided in the Catamount Data Glossary do not overrule definitions provided in official policies, contracts, or similar documents.
