On March 14, 2013 participants from University Park and nine Commonwealth Campuses attended Data Tools to Help Student Success, a panel discussion featuring Andrew Kelly, Data Analyst, Eberly College of Science; and Curt Marshall, Coordinator of Multicultural Programs, College of Arts and Architecture. This session, sponsored by the IR Interest Group, introduced participants to a method for examining whether students meet the prerequisites for their registered courses and a query used to identify students with financial holds on their records.
The Access database and Word instructions below contain queries and steps for identifying students who have not yet paid their tuition but who are accruing housing charges. The queries return all ethnicities, billing, and housing information for SCHEDuled students within the current semester.
