About the Student Activity Hub
The Student Activity Hub (SAH) combines information about all graduate and undergraduate students into a single repository. Academic analysts, advisors, and faculty can access the curated data through supported reporting and visualization tools: Tableau and Cognos. For more support and live demos visit the Student Analytics Community of Practice.
In the initial phase, the SAH is designed to make institutional and operational reporting easier by providing access to 15 years’ worth of student data featuring retention, graduation rates, enrollments, demographics, class scheduling, and more. In later phases, real-time learning data fed from the learning management system will allow for analysis, group building, and messaging of students based on a multitude of criteria.
SAH is Live
The Student Activity Hub is in production. New data elements and enhancements are added regularly. View the Current Release Notes (login required) on the project collab page.
