Description:  In an effort to make proactive and data-driven decisions, Azusa Pacific University (APU) has built queries that mine the data in the Academic Advisement Analysis Database tables. An institution can identify which students are taking a specific class to meet a particular requirement. It can count how many students still need to satisfy certain General Education requirements. It can even get an idea of how many class sections of a course might need to be offered next semester. Understanding how the AA tables relate to one another is key to embarking on this mission to report this data accurately. This session will discuss the various AA tables and why an institution would want to query them. It will even provide a handful of practical examples of the types of queries APU has been able to build.
