Questions to Turn Data into Action
•
In which bands are students graduating
below institution-wide rates? e.g. Is there
an opportunity to target students in the
“Murky Middle” (between 2.0 and 3.0 GPA)?
•
Are top performing students graduating at
institution-wide rates (or might they be
transferring to other institutions)?
•
How are transfer students performing
relative to native students?
•
Should GPA admission requirements be
reevaluated for selective programs?

•
Average Course Grade
Average Credits Earned
Graduation Rate
% of D/F
% of W
Questions to Turn Data into Action
•
Are there courses that should no longer be
requirements for the selected major? Or are
there courses that should be added to the
major’s requirements?
•
Are students taking multiple attempts to
complete a required course for the selected
major?
•
Do students go on to graduate in the major
after failing/withdrawing from a course?
•
Are lower division courses adequately
preparing students for upper division
courses? Does a prerequisite course truly
predict success for a higher level course?

23
Informing Advising and Curriculum Change
3 Grad Rate by Grade Earned or Credit Range
Analyze Graduation Rate for
Individual Courses by:
•
•
Grade Earned
Credit Range
Questions to Turn Data into Action
•
When is the best time (term) for
students to take a particular course? Do
courses need to be re-sequenced?
•
Are students taking the course when it
is suggested? If not, why? Are they
completing remedial courses? Are there
enough sections offered?
•
Should this course be a success marker
based on the grade distribution and
those who go onto graduate?

•
Exams customizable to your
institution are available to view
Questions to Turn Data into Action
•
Can this data be used for admissions and
enrollment staff to recruit top talent?
•
When identifying at risk students in the
historical data, does this help identify
current students who fall into the same
category?
•
How can faculty leverage this data to
improve instruction and student support?
