2019 – Where Did They Go: Using BI to Build an Institutional Repository for National Student Clearinghouse Data

Presentation Summary

The National Student Clearinghouse (NSC) has student enrollment information for over 98% of institutions in the United States – most institutions utilize this resource for ad-hoc queries. In this presentation, a team of institutional researchers and business intelligence professionals will describe how the University of Michigan has built one of the first known institutional data warehouses for NSC data. The presenters will explain how this project has automated manual tasks and normalized data into student cohorts that can be used to answer key questions about students’ academic pathways that will hopefully lead to improved student success outcomes.
