Have you ever wanted to create your own maps, or integrate and visualize spatial datasets to examine changes in trends between locations and over time? Follow along with these training tutorials on QGIS, an open source geographic information system (GIS) and learn key concepts, procedures and skills for performing common GIS tasks – such as creating maps, as well as joining, overlaying and visualizing spatial datasets. These tutorials are geared towards new GIS users. We’ll start with foundational concepts, and build towards more advanced topics throughout – demonstrating how with a few relatively easy steps you can get quite a lot out of GIS. You can then extend these skills to datasets of thematic relevance to you in addressing tasks faced in your day-to-day work.

Finding Schools is now easier than ever with the College Map, the first geographic search tool published by IPEDS (Integrated Postsecondary Education Data System) providing access to over 7,000 certificate, undergraduate and graduate-level schools. This all-in-one tool enables students, parents and counselors to filter potential programs for location, major, tuition and more. Including both certificate-level programs and advanced degrees, this public application makes the often overwhelming process of school searching simple, and it’s available on mobile devices.Once the results are narrowed down, users can share their lists on social media or download in excel format. Additionally, the College Map integrates with the College Navigator, a research based search tool providing data from the complete list of IPEDS Survey indicators.All information contained in this file is in the public domain. Data users are advised to review NCES program documentation and feature class metadata to understand the limitations and appropriate use of these data.

Alaska school district boundaries and addresses. Replacing former School District geometries (as of Nov 3, 2022). Each school district boundary (geometry, not attributes) is derived from one of three sources. 1. Borough and Census Area Boundaries (as a proxy for school districts in the organized borough). https://dcra-cdo-dcced.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/DCCED::alaska-borough-and-census-area-boundaries/about2. Regional Educational Attendance Area Boundaries (school districts in the unorganized borough). A Regional Educational Attendance Area (REAA) is an educational area that is established in an unorganized borough of the state established by AS 14.08.031(a). REAA elections administered by the Division of Elections. This dataset is revised for recasting of REAA sections using 2020 Census data. The 2020 version is the first time REAA boundaries were fully created using Geographic Information System (GIS) technology. Revised for the 2022 move of the city of Rampart from Yukon Flats to Yukon-Koyukuk. 3. City Boundaries - Boundaries are based on the actual certificates issued by the Local Boundary Commission. https://dcra-cdo-dcced.opendata.arcgis.com/datasets/DCCED::city-boundaries/aboutFor more information, see https://education.alaska.gov/DOE_Rolodex/SchoolCalendar/DistrictAndSchoolInfo/DistrictDetails

A Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN) is issued by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT), and authorizes a utility to provide water and/or sewer service to a specific service area. The CCN obligates the water or sewer retail public utility to provide continuous and adequate service to every customer who requests service in that area. The maps and digital data provided in the Water and Sewer CCN Viewer delineate the official CCN service areas and CCN facility lines issued by the PUCT and its predecessor agencies. This dataset is a Texas statewide polygon layer of sewer CCN service areas. The CCNs were digitized from Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) county mylar maps. The mylar maps were the base maps on which the CCNs were originally drawn and maintained. CCNs are currently created and maintained using digitizing methods, coordinate geography or imported from digital files submitted by the applicant. TxDOT digital county urban road files are used as the base maps on which the CCNs are geo-referenced. It is best to view the sewer CCN service area data in conjunction with the sewer CCN facility line data, since these two layers together represent all of the retail public sewer utilities in Texas.*Important Notes: The CCN spatial dataset and metadata were last updated on: October 1, 2018The official state-wide CCN spatial dataset includes all types of CCN services areas: water and sewer CCN service areas; water and sewer CCN facility lines. This CCN spatial dataset is updated on a quarterly, or as needed basis using Geographic Information System (GIS) software called ArcGIS 10.3.1.The complete state-wide CCN spatial dataset is available for download from the following website: http://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/water/utilities/gis.aspxThe Water and Sewer CCN Viewer may be accessed from the following web site: http://www.puc.texas.gov/industry/water/utilities/map.htmlIf you have questions about this CCN spatial dataset or about CCN mapping requirements, please e-mail CCN Mapping Staff: water@puc.texas.govTYPE - This numeric field indicates whether a CCN is considered a water or a sewer system. If the CCN number begins with a '"1", the CCN is considered a water system (utility). If a CCN number begins with a "2", the CCN is considered a sewer system (utility).CCN_NO - This five-digit alphanumeric field contains a unique number assigned to each CCN when it is created and approved by the Commission.UTILITY - This alphanumeric field contains the name of the utility which owns the CCN.TX_CNTY - This three-character alphanumeric field contains the Texas county code assigned to the Texas county by the TxDOT. This code represents the county which completely contains the CCN. If the CCN crosses county lines, then an "M" is used to indicate multiple counties. COUNTY - This alphanumeric field contains the name(s) of the county(ies) referenced in TX_CNTY.

This type of CCN may either be a Facilities Only (F0), a CCN Facility line (point of use) service area that covers only the customer connections at the time the CCN was granted, or Facilities plus a specified number of feet (usually 200 feet buffer) around the facility line.

Facilities +200 Feet: A certificated service area represented by lines. They include a buffer of a specified number of feet (usually 200 feet). The lines normally follow along roads and may or may not correspond to distribution lines or facilities in the ground.Facilities Only: A certificated service area represented by lines. They are granted for a "point of use" that covers only the customer connections at the time the CCN is granted. Facility only service lines normally follow along roads and may or may not correspond to distribution lines or facilities in the ground.STATUS – For pending dockets check the PUC Interchange Filing Search

Purpose and intended use - This feature class contains service area polygons for each Community Water System (CWS).Data creation methodologies, processing, and quality - To determine the service area, ADWR utilized primary data provided directly from the water system (i.e. PDF, shapefile, verbal definition). If primary data is unavailable, secondary data was utilized to determine service area boundaries (i.e. Certificate of Convenience and Necessity (CCN), Census Designated Place shapefile from U.S Census Bureau.Data limitations – Please refer to ADWR Data Disclaimer (https://www.azwater.gov/data-disclaimer).Pursuant to Arizona Revised Statute 45-342 (2), only Large community water systems are required to submit geographic system data to ADWR. Small community water systems do frequently voluntarily submit geographic data. The level of accuracy of the service area boundaries is dependent on the self-reporting of the community water system itself.
