EDX Phase 3 coming in early 2026

Starting in early 2026, graduation records and achievement data collection (currently known as “TRAX”) will move to the Education Data Exchange (EDX) platform. This means that EDX will fully replace the School Secure Web (SSW), consolidating student collections into a single platform.

What is included in Phase 3?

  • Replacing SSW: TRAX/Graduation data collection will move to the EDX platform
  • User interface: Easy to find reports for error detection and graduation status
  • User roles: New “view-only” role so counsellors and staff supporting graduation can view student TVR and transcript records

What can you do to prepare for this upcoming change?

  1. Review Graduation Data Specifications
    A draft version of the new Graduation Data Collection Specifications is now available for review. These specifications will replace the current TRAX Data Transfer specifications at go-live.

    Note: DEM, CRS, and XAM files remain unchanged. However, TRAX performed extensive up behind-the-scenes data clean-up; EDX will encourage more school-level corrections to improve data transparency.

  2. Assign New Roles 
    Ensure appropriate staff are added to EDX with Graduation Administrator or View Only roles. Find the Account Management instructions on the EDX training SharePoint site.

  3. Participate in Training
    Visit and subscribe to the EDX Info Hub for updates to stay informed about upcoming training opportunities, updated support materials, and implementation timelines.
