Last updated
D494 Data and Information Governance (DTMG 3351, 2 CUs in the September 2026 WGU catalog) is the data governance course three technology bachelor's degrees carry late: term 8 of the B.S. Information Technology Management and the B.S. AI Engineering, and term 7 of the B.S. Data Analytics. Per the catalog description it teaches why rules of engagement, policies, procedures, and data stewardship are essential to controlling an organization's data assets and extracting maximum value from them, frames governance across the entire data lifecycle, and establishes strategies in support of disaster recovery and continuity of operations. Coursework Ninja completes D494 done-for-you, fixed quote in writing first. From $99. Independent of WGU.
Per WGU's published description, Data and Information Governance provides learners with the knowledge that establishing rules of engagement, policies, procedures, and data stewardship is essential to exercising organizational control over data assets and extracting maximum value from them. Good data governance helps an organization lower costs, create efficiencies, and achieve its strategic goals and objectives. The course frames governance as properly managing information across the entire data lifecycle, establishes strategies in support of disaster recovery and continuity of operations, and aims to prepare IT professionals to assist their organization in defining and implementing best practices for managed systems that meet business, technical, security, auditing, disaster recovery, and business continuity requirements. The catalog publishes no prerequisite statement for this course.
Three bachelor's tables print D494 in the September 2026 catalog, and the term is always late. On the B.S. Information Technology Management (BSITM 202609) it shares term 8 with D822 Technology Governance, D428 Design Thinking for Business, and the 4-CU D361 Business Simulation. On the B.S. AI Engineering (BSAIE 202607) it lands in term 8 beside D499 Machine Learning, E086, E087, and C963. On the B.S. Data Analytics (BSDA 202309) it arrives one term earlier, term 7 beside D492, D493, and C949. The IT management pairing causes the most intake confusion: D494 is data governance, D822 is technology governance, and they are different courses with different codes sharing one term. Message us the code in your portal and where you stand, and we quote a flat price in writing.

Coverage
What D494 completion covers
Rules of engagement, policies, procedures, stewardship
The description's foundation: governance as the established rules of engagement, policies, procedures, and data stewardship that give an organization control over its data assets. Scored work treats these as designed artifacts, not good intentions.
The entire data lifecycle
The description frames governance as properly managing information across the entire data lifecycle, so answers scoped to one storage system or one department miss the frame.
Disaster recovery and continuity of operations
Governance strategies in support of disaster recovery and continuity of operations are named outright in the description: the course grades the unglamorous resilience rows, not only the policy vocabulary.
The six requirement families
Business, technical, security, auditing, disaster recovery, and business continuity: the description's checklist for managed systems, and the natural outline of the scored work.
Full degree plan integration
D494 alone is a single from $99. On a remaining bachelor's list it folds into the flat $3,000 bachelor's package with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.

Bottlenecks
Where D494 stalls technology students late
D494 is a 2-CU course sitting in the degree's most expensive terms, and it stalls by looking smaller than the exam beside it. These are the stalls we take over most often.
- The 2-CU size read as a weekend course, then the lifecycle and continuity rows expand it past the estimate.
- Governance answered as an IT capability list instead of the rules, policies, procedures, and stewardship the description names.
- Disaster recovery and continuity of operations skipped as infrastructure topics when the description names them as governance strategies.
- On the IT management table, the D494 and D822 mix-up: data governance and technology governance quoted as one course.
- A late-term course postponed behind the simulation, capstone, or AI coursework it shares the term with, rolling into a new term's tuition.

Questions, answered
Per the September 2026 WGU institutional catalog, Data and Information Governance (DTMG 3351, 2 CUs) covers the rules of engagement, policies, procedures, and data stewardship essential to organizational control over data assets and to extracting maximum value from them, frames governance across the entire data lifecycle, and establishes strategies supporting disaster recovery and continuity of operations, preparing IT professionals to help define and implement best practices for managed systems that meet business, technical, security, auditing, disaster recovery, and business continuity requirements. The catalog publishes no prerequisite statement for this course.
Per the current catalog, three bachelor's tables: the B.S. Information Technology Management (BSITM 202609) in term 8 beside D822, D428, and D361, the B.S. AI Engineering (BSAIE 202607) in term 8 beside D499, E086, E087, and C963, and the B.S. Data Analytics (BSDA 202309) in term 7 beside D492, D493, and C949. If your degree plan shows DTMG 3351, this is the course.
No, and the shared term causes the confusion. D494 (DTMG 3351, 2 CUs) is data governance: stewardship, lifecycle management, and the recovery and continuity strategies of data assets. D822 (ITEC 3011, 3 CUs) is technology governance: the COBIT, ITIL, CMMI, and ISO framework family. They share term 8 on the IT management table and are different courses. Both have their own completion pages here; quote by the code on your degree audit.
No. D426 and D427, the Data Management pair on the data analytics and IT tables, teach database work: data models, normalization, and SQL. D494 is the governance layer above that work: who sets the rules, who owns the data, and how the organization keeps control of it across its lifecycle. Different codes, different scope.
WGU does not publish assessment formats in the catalog, and the description frames a governance course without stating the scored format. We confirm the current format for your exact catalog year at intake, and the fixed quote covers whichever assessment the course carries.
One course starts at $99, with the exact figure fixed in writing once we know where you stand. On a longer remaining bachelor's list, the bachelor's package is $3,000 flat with the written 6-month finish guarantee covering every course on the plan, this one included.
