Dates to Remember
- September Speaker Series. In the new Student Tracker 3.0, postsecondary dashboards are refreshed daily, and key performance indicators — enrollment, retention and persistence, and graduation — are available in real time. What does that mean for your data? Michele Gralak and Langley Korepanov from the National Student Clearinghouse will present on how the timing of your report generation is crucial to understanding your data and outcomes. Michele and Langley will also share publicly available resources including a comparison between StudentTracker for High Schools and StudentTracker 3.0.
